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.

There’s more nuance to what he said if people take time to read the article. I’m a huge fan of working from home, but it has drawbacks. One that Jamie notes is that a lack of office environment is terrible for someone starting their career, which is true.
I assure you, JPMC office environments, as they currently are used, are useless. They're making everyone operate as though we work from home, while in office. We still use Zoom for everything... 40 feet away from eachother. Its as stupid as it sounds.
Do people meet in meeting rooms as well or it’s all just Zoom?
All Zoom. All the time. Nobody uses the meeting rooms anymore unless they're for 1 on 1 conversations that cant be held on the floor.
Ouch, yeah that defeats the purpose
And usually you go into a meeting room with a few others to do a video call with someone. Why not just do it from home?
I think that’s ok? People are in different offices, but as long as you can also work with the local people..
I’m a fan of hybrid, with like 4/5 days at home, assuming people aren’t heavily distracted at home.
You aren't going to get people who will be willing to accept that anything but full WFH would be good here.
