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.

Counter argument: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle
I am familiar with that principle, yeah. it seems to me like it's become more of a thing of the past. I definitely think that happened in the 60s and 70s (and we're still dealing with the ramifications today) but I haven't heard of any of my friends getting promoted at office jobs in years. it's a younger and smaller sample size though so definitely possible both are at play
Those who cannot achieve excellence stay put. Those who can achieve excellence find a place where they are allowed to.
