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 need to start doing this.
I agree WFH is good but I feel like people exaggerate how hard it is to bring your own lunch. I ate an apple with nut butter today because I was too lazy to meal prep. Yeah, I have low standards, yeah it's not exactly filling but whatever. I've saved hundreds by just sucking it up having a shitty lunch when I'm too lazy to meal prep.
TO BE CLEAR: I 100% support WFH. Fuck greedy, lazy employers who refuse it for no reason, we should all continue to fight for WFH. Acting like there is no alternative to buying lunch every day is a cop out.
It’s not that it’s super hard to bring your own lunch, but it’s definitely hard-er. People just get mad when their employers won’t recognize that there’s a difference between wfh and commuting.
