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.

They call it the ‘100-80-100’ concept. This means employees will retain 100% of their salary, work 80% of the time, but contribute 100% of their output still.

We got rid of our stand-ups in favor of a morning slack check-in in the group channel.

We even have a little bot that lets you input them at any time before the scheduled deadline and reports them all at once so you don't have to put it in in the morning (many people prefer reporting on their day at the end of the day).

This combined with a robust pull request system means that a lot of work can get done async.

We have occasional meetings but they're pointed and specific between only the people that need to talk so nobody's time feels wasted.

It took like 2+ years to develop this culture but it's worth it.
