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 feel this post so much.
Does anyone have advice for how to approach 1:1s with my manager when they ask questions like this? I am extremely burnt out. But I also struggle with not being honest about my feelings (my default is honesty and openness). I don’t want more attention from my manager. I just want to quiet quit and suck down as many paychecks as I can before I get so burnt out that I am forced to quit.
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.
