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.

Performance reviews are just employers controlling the narrative when employees are underpaid

Right?
If you underperform, brutal negotiations ensue … prove your value or the deal is off.

Buuut, if you’re overperforming, you get gold stickers and praise, and the possibility of a pay bump through a process controlled by the employer …

instead of you telling the employer that *they* have to prove their value or the deal is off.

Instead over performing then becomes the expectation.

So far I haven’t had to deal with under performer. I got 2 high performers that I could promote. 3 that got promoted outside of my domain (I didn’t have senior positions available to promote those). I also have employees that are doing their jobs just as it should - which is also good in my opinion. Everybody is happy so far. I have to push a bit my reviews as higher management is puzzled by the absence of poor reviews but that’s my job I guess.

Should I be confronted with a low performer what are you propose I do? Leave it as it is? Others - including myself - would be compensating because we don’t get less work.

I’m not talking about some low energy or personal concerns which can effect temporarily someone but a true issue that lasts over a year.
