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.

If you are dissatisfied with your current position, it may be more productive to focus on exploring new opportunities rather than remaining in an unfulfilling role.
Why exactly did you decide to write that?
Any employee has more understanding of their own best interests than you or their employer do, and these folks had been choosing to remain with the company up until that moment.
So one can reasonably assume that most people are worse off when they get fired, even given any survey response whatsoever.
The employee believed it was beneficial to express their feelings and stress levels to their employer. However, this information was subsequently used against them. Given the stress the employee was experiencing, a more effective course of action might have been to exercise discretion and focus on finding a new job rather than voicing their concerns in a manner that could be counterproductive.
