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.

If management can't do better than place "warm bodies", I'd say management is overpaid.
Based on the other person im "talking" with maybe management should be paid more to attract the right managers, and maybe management isn't paid enough to do more than the bare basics.
I mean, what's the difference? Both are people paid to do a job, yet change the job title and all of a sudden someone not doing a job shouldn't be paid so much.
Are there shit managers - absolutely. But don't act like employees not doing that they are paid to is acceptable either.
LMFAO, found the guy. Are you literally arguing that we need to fire more people and pay management more? Go the fuck back to whatever Forbes article you were writing.
Im literally responded to the other person's arguement - to quote
"Pay them more. Top talent tends to go where the money is."
You're saying management is bad - therefore based on the same arguement they should be paid more to attract the right people.
Im not advocating for anything, just pointing out the hypocrisy in the arguement that employees should be paid more to do a basic job, yet management are also employees.
