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 wonder how many lawyers are offering her their services? Because that sounds like a slam dunk lawsuit if I've ever seen one.
Slam dunk how?
What employment laws are they breaking?
Is Alabama. She’s got no chance
It's a federal law they're breaking. The state doesn't matter.
Is it America? Is it an at-will state? Where you can be let go at any time, for any reason. Corporations over people. COP. All cops are bastards. All corporations are bastards.
See, it all works out in the end.
We are all bass turds.
Fish shit in the water. Totally unsiftable. Totally fucked.
God save America.
From itself.
This, brought to you from Canada. Who is about to be next in the new global fascist "catch and release" system.
Catch democracy, release democracy.
Like a parent with an errant child. And the parent is too lazy or incompetent to stop the child from hurting itself. And bringing the parent down with it.
Oops.

Good rant. Sorry from this side of the border, I still can’t fully believe so many of my countrymen voted for the villain
You can't make this shit up. Reality is so horrible, especially with mega corporations.
Newsweek is pretty shit, but at least it's not a screenshot of a tweet so thank you.
Despite lemmy thinking CEOs are useless, they're usually the most important person in the company because they set the tone. That tone rolls downhill. Show me happy or sad employees, I'll tell you what kind of leadership they have.
Bezos set the grind culture when Amazon was starting, and that's fine for a startup, what has to be done. But he never backed off, and now we get shit like this, 100% on him.
Sometimes you have to grind at a shit job to work your way up, I get it. But there appears to be no level at Amazon where you're not under the gun.
But why should anyone have to grind at a shit job? If your business can only survive by grinding people down, maybe society would be better off without it. If the only way we can get same day delivery is over the burnt-out, permanently injured ex-employees of a multi-national, is it really worth it? Maybe that start-up never should have made it. Maybe strong labor laws should have forced them to scale back their ambitions or close their doors.
I don't wanna just say "this", but for real, excellently put.
"But we just have to abuse people for a little while until..."
Then it's not a viable business model. Easy as that.
Cooperatives are a thing, and they work, they just don't scale like cancer by generating hype-funding over destroying their employees, so they don't drum up so much excitement from the moneyed.
If they were deemed useless, they wouldn't become a target. The useless phrasing is more that their direction for the purpose of the company is useless overall. Line goes up isn't always a reflection of how well the company is doing for itself and its customers. You are right that CEOs usually set how the company runs, as my work a few years ago transitioned to a new CEO after decades of the first, and it's showing. What's frustrating is when they continue to play off that they are the same company and policy to keep morale up, but it's obvious things are different.
Remember remember the 4th of December....
Got it. Understood. Any and all Amazon representatives will continue to function after being shot.
Bezos needs her to suffer more
That's what their fans are field with. Liquified Human Suffering (LHS).
Absolutely heartless
She's been fucking shot, the hell kind of work do you think she'll do?
Warehouse work apparently
Got Dam! 2025 said "And fuck you in particular" directly to her face.
I haven't seen actual articles talking about this... just people tweeting about it.
But if this event actually is what's being reported on the surface, then this is the most constructiest dismissal that ever constructively dismissed.
