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.

Imagine firing all competent employees
looks at companies forcing RTO ๐
The stoner dudes high as balls 247 who don't give a shit and are not stressed a bit: :DDD
Bro where do you work where this is not caught in the first interview
I've been high in most jobs I had, every now and then at least.
Not when driving a taxi, but we used to get insanely high for the night shifts at the taxi dispatch call centre where I also worked with the younger coworkers (<35) I had. As long as you get the necessary shit done, why'd anyone care? The night shifts were boring as fuck, you'd have like a few to a few dozen calls an hour. Meaning that mostly you're just having to browse the web while waiting.
And Finns genuinely couldn't even tell when I'm high as balls, the willfull ignorance in Finnish social interaction is quite strong.
I don't, I just couldn't imagine many work places where you'd work in a team or interact with clients or customers or coworkers where this type of thing would be accepted.
But ah, Finland โ , and night shifts โ , and younger crew with little to no management around โ , still able to perform a not so crucial task requiring not a lot of brain power โ . I'm all for it dude. Have fun while working, that's the bomb. โค๏ธ
Well, 25-30. But the older ladies at the dispatch smoked weed as well. Well few of them did. One liked opiates. Most drank.
I don't work there anymore, but it's somewhat complicated logistics. You arrange school rides for kids and patient rides to hospitals and have to make sure people aren't late for their planes and trains leaving in the morning.
It's just that for the first several hours, it'd be every calm during the night. Sometime around 4am people start leaving for trains, buses, planes. Then around 5-6 you have people going to hospitals. Sometimes they're disabled and need a taxi that can fit a stretcher. Then it's the kids after that.
But like some people like caffeine aa they feel they need more energy to perk up. It's the other way around for me.
But yeah thanks though it was fun. I was kinda pissed during corona when they finally took remote work as my home workstation is far superior to what they were when I worked there, and I kept actually using a team viewer connection back then as well (~2012) so could've easily done the work from my home.
And yes you'd might wonder what sort of company allows an employee to install remote control software on their computers?
A small company with a large turnover which never understood their dispatch center or technology properly.
But like if you made a poll on some programming community here on how many of them work while high...?
I know softwares see developers in rather esteemed positions who smoke every day. Not all day necessarily but
I'm a software developer and, while I don't smoke all day, I'm a night owl. Some days I'll go to bed at 2 AM several nights in a row, and after that, I basically go a couple days where I don't get anything done. So I might as well practically have been smoking all day being high as a kite. ๐
I've seen this in upper management. Dude has zero f to give. I mean like drugs removed them.
Me: Mai dude building is on fire Dude: it's fine only 16 flights of stairs. I'll wait out the rush.
He never had sense of urgency.
