Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Its got nothing to do with this.
Dell are struggling financially, this is a great method to reduce workforce size with minimal cost.
And I'm highlighting that it's short-termist and self defeating
Companies like atlassian do what they can to make sure they don't lose their best talent, what I linked is documented proof of that working.
Dell are trying to reduce costs by reducing the reasons an employee would want to stay.
Do you think they're gonna lose the employees they would choose to?
No, they're going to lose their best.
It's pissing away productivity for no tangible benefit and doing so in a pretty permanent way—who is going to work for a company with that reputation?
It's not just them nailing themselves into a coffin, it's basically them pointing the nail gun at their face.
Exactly. Employees are not cookie cutter duplicates. The more productive ones always have more options, even when you treat them all the same. This is worse for the company than firing people randomly.
Productivity is for companies who want substance.
We only want continuous stock price increases regardless of how much it rots a company from the inside out.
That’s for someone else to carry about after I’m gone.
Define "struggling"
Your existence
has nothing to do with Dell's financials
