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.

Is anyone else tired of “employee engagement”? (self.workreform)

I am so sick of employee engagement surveys and the resulting exercise in futility around soliciting changes that never get made. It’s honestly one of the more evil and deceitful processes that capitalism and academia have ever teamed up to create.

Just find one thing to lightly bitch about so they feel engaged. You can’t just say everything is fine because they know that’s bullshit.

Definitely good to have at least some complaints/critiques. A safe bet is to complain about the number of meetings you have to go to. Your manager will definitely relate, and as a side-benefit, you might get your meeting schedule lightened.
