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.

Setting "personal goals" at work is such bullshit (lemmy.ca)

Now on top of my workload, which is already insane, I'm expected to set and meet personal goals by some arbitrary deadline? This shit is so condescending. I'm an adult, being paid to exchange my time and work for a salary. I don't need to be treated like a child and made to complete these homework assignments to prove my growth within the company. Anyone else dealing with this shit right now?

It's review time for me too! I hate this. Yes, I have to exceed at all my daily normal tasks plus my two additional development goals for the year. Simply accomplishing the goals and not exceeding them will only give you a 'Meets' and sometimes even a 'Needs Improvement' rating for the year which comes with like a 1.5% or 0% raise, respectively. Then I have to write a novel (on top of doing all my usual work) stating the ways in which I exceeded all these goals. I hate July at work!!
