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.

The problem is that they're wasting the unemployed and jobseekers time and money, and depriving them of employment opportunities they actually want — sometimes dozens of hours, and hundreds of dollars per person.
Let's not act like false advertising of job offers is anything but a crime that exploits the most economically vulnerable people... mkay
Actually, I don't know if you've done hiring before but to get to an interview the company has already spent a decent chunk of change on vetting and review. Refusing an offer at the last minute definitely sucks for the employer.
Yeah, definitely.
Had a low-balled offer once, and since I didn't have an other offer, I signed. It was still better then the wage I had at the time.
But I kept searching, and finally found a company that did pay me what I wanted.
So when it was about time for me to go work at the new job, I said I quit. They were waiting on me for 10 weeks. Felt really good.
Told them the reason was the wage, if they didn't try to pay me less then what I was asking, I wouldn't have been searching in the first place.
They only have themselves to blame.
