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.

500k in the Bay Area is very different to 100k, especially if you have a family. So I think that would make a massive difference in happiness.
I think 5 times any salary affords you greater security, flexibility and opportunities that have to make a measurable difference in how happy you can be
The employees are already making 500k and the raise would be to 600k, in this example. You misread the op.
Good spot. My bad OP. Carry on...
