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.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a fucking stupid approach, as do ~90% of IC's at these companies.
Someone at Amazon put it nicely when they've said that there's a rise in "belief-driven" leadership in tech right now. Instead of following the data and asking people what they want, we're seeing tech leaders position themselves as visionaries, and making market-changing decisions on gut feeling. It's absolutely a series a short-term decisions, and all they care about is what they think, and how it'll save their skin for the next 3-6 months.
Oh man thank you for that phrase. "belief driven leadership" is exactly what's happening there right now. Spot on. I'm so close to finding somewhere else to work but my immediate leadership thinks the RTO is bullshit as well. However I know they can't hold off forever.
If I hear “magic” One more fucking time in a town hall meeting…
