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.

When the layoffs start, it will also be because of the employees.
I mean, have they not started? Pretty sure I lost my job earlier this week in a mass tech layoff, more to come next week.
The kicker is we saw the bad decision coming, we told them, we protested with all we had. They admitted that is was their fault, but now need layoffs.
100% of the executive team was kept on board, the.CEO saying that they have been punished enough with the stock price. So yeah, doesn't matter who is to blame and if you caught them red handed, it would still be your fault. Theyre laughing at us.
I've only ever seen an executive be punished for one thing: bad mouthing the company. Anything else they skate on. Accountability and consequences are for the peons.
