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 think that the stage of life you're in would also play a huge part in what hours you'd prefer. When I was single, I'd prefer later hours like you so I could have a more relaxed morning. Now that I'm married with kids, however, an earlier schedule would mean more family time. Especially as school events are often scheduled for the early evening.
Most definitely. Most of my life was external to my home, so having others available at the same time was important. I'd probably feel much the same as you if I had a family.
I'm single and I enjoy the early work because it means I have more time after work to do things with friends (or go to the gym or whatever)
I guess if your friends are available before normal work hours end, it makes sense.
