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.

I have had multiple offers to work at AWS. I won't because I know how shitty they treat their employees.
if they make a dude piss in a bottle shuttling boxes, imagine what they're making higher paid engineers do. sleepless nights? impossible deadlines? insane scope creep?
no. thank you, but no.
The psychology of abuse is the worst aspect. They make their workers question their own abilities and value, while demanding higher and higher output. It's a grinder mentality.
