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.

...puzzling engagement scores...if only something could be done
I don’t want a promotion. I want to do what I was hired to do for what I agreed to get paid, with cost of living adjustments, 40 hours a week. That’s it. I don’t want my employer to be my friend, family, dependent, emergency contact.
Won't someone please think of the corporate real estate market!?
Meanwhile, their computers suck ass (I’m an involuntary enterprise user), so maybe they should get their priorities straight?
We switched to all Dell laptops at the start of the pandemic and we're seeing like a 40% hardware failure rate now 3 years later, conveniently right after the warranty term ran out.
I used to love Dell's enterprise laptops and desktops. We rarely had hardware problems with them. Then the generation that switched to USB-C (over the old dock port) came around and we've had tons of hardware failures - both laptops and docks.
That tracks. My last two enterprise laptops had USB-C powered docks. The first one had problems since the first time I plugged in that ridiculous double plug for the dock. My current one is basically new and is already an unstable mess.
Get fucked, Michael.
What are promotions anyway? Like 25 cents an hour?
