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.

That's a power move?
With all due respect, the few times I've had this happen to me I just think of the person coming up to me as a whiny bitch, especially if the matter is such a low priority as to not get a response.
If I have to come to you desk to ask for something I have likely lost respect for you and I don't care that you think I am a whiny bitch. Different business units have different priorities, but you should still set the expectation of when you will be able to get to it.
Is it the other guy's responsibility to set the expectation on when to get to it?
If it is stopping you, then talk to your supervisor/boss/manager/whatever. It's literally their job to "unstuck" you, especially when it's due to differing business priorities (i.e. red tape).
As another comment has mentioned, if it truly is a priority than at least with digital communication you've established a paper trail. In person confrontations diminish the length and quality of this trail.
