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.

And you really believe that?
"Let's pretend we fire all employees that are stressed out over or horror practices, will be a great commercial!"
What that link says is that they fucked around and found out and are now making up bullshit excuses to contain the find.
I don’t believe anything, is my point. Everything about this reads to me as made up attention seeking. So sure, you wouldn’t be wrong to guess maybe the latest news is false too.

And they just included them all in the 'to' instead of bcc. Very professional.

Every company I've worked at sends these surveys out and says they are "anonymous". I never respond to them.
-
If they are truly anonymous, why does my boss personally call me out to respond to them? I know it may track if you have submitted the survey. If it has that capability, then it can track you.

I don't want a "moral boosting" pizza party. Give me more time off or more pay.
I respond to all of them with brutal honestly. My most recent one was along the lines of
"A major topic of the town hall meeting was the push to get [sales number] by the end of the year. We did the same thing last year and I got a 2% raise. What is my incentive to make you money if my raises don't even match inflation?"
Even if it's anonymous, my boss knows it's me. This way I can bring it up in my review as a callback as opposed to trying to awkwardly work it in to the conversation
If a "raise" doesn't even cover inflation, it's not a raise.
Edit: The best raises I've ever received were from leaving a job to a new job

And no one gave critical/constructive feedback ever again. Mission accomplished!
So fucked up
No one was firebombed at YesMadam!
To my Lemmy family and community,
I sincerely apologize for any distress caused by my recent social media post calling for the firebombing of YesMadam's corporate headquarters. Let me be clear: I would never take such an inhuman step. I deeply respect the value of all human life.
My social media post was a planned effort to highlight the serious issue of firebombing corporate headquarters. And to those who shared angry comments of voiced strong opinions, I say thank you. When people speak up, it shows they care.
Were YesMadam's corporate headquarters really firebombed? Absolutely not.
Wow, that's not bullshit in the slightest. Is it legal to do this there? I mean it's technically illegal here in America but employers can always come up with a bullshit excuse. Worse, if you live in San "at will" state, they can fire you with NO reason.
Last time I was in Bangalore there was an 80% completed, multi-story downtown building that 'didn't exist'.
It's not the laws that matter, it's who you know.
Whenever I talk to an Indian about politics, the one thing they always mention is how bad corruption is in India. So I doubt that, even if it is illegal, they'll face any repercussions, so long as they've padded the pockets of the right person.
I don't know much about Indian laws and work culture, but many Indians I spoke to mentioned the work culture in their country is highly toxic. They prefer to work in American and Western companies instead of Indian-grown ones.
Watching Mike Okay videos, even things that aren't legal seem to be commonplace. The video where he visited a small jeans factory in a crawlspace above another shop that had ladder access, and where the off-dity employees slept on the floor underneath the workbenches where other workers were working, a small room with ceilings so low he had to stoop, that gave me the heebie jeebies
