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.

Yep so not "all" of them.
Check out the term "hyperbole"
Oh my oh my sorry for taking people in the internet at face value. Next time I'll just guess what their thought process was and live my life based on that.
Thanks but apology declined
Here's another one: I'm so sorry your life must really suck with work and all to the point that you can't see other people enjoying it and where you feel the need to say they aren't really "working" just because they found something they love and succeeded in navigating the shitty system (out or merit or luck or privilege, whatever) and you didn't /:
We can all be on the same side. I hate modern work culture and I actively try to improve it and myself day after day. I'm sure you do too.
Could you accept that one too?
Cheers bud.
No. Also, I like my job
Of course you do 🙄
?
Nothing, I just totally believe you and agree with you. Have a nice day. ☺️
You need to consider that most jobs out there are simply things that need to be done, not things that people are passionate about. Getting a higher eductation and a complex job is something for which I consider myself very lucky. I was born with all the opportunities to do so. Despite these privileges, I acknowledge that the people doing the fundamental, low level jobs deserve adequate compensation to lead a happy life
This was always my view. I don't think I said anything at all that implies otherwise. So we already agree. My original comment was in response to someone saying no one ever in existence wanted to work. Surely you've met idiots on the internet and had to explain things to them before, no? Hard for me to assume they were using a literary device. I'd rather take them at face value.
Lol, good try at turning snek's argument against him, but that was clearly sarcasm.
owen is the reason /s was invented.
Burh. As if I would say "apology declined" in earnest
Cheating. This is akin to saying, "I was just kidding!"
Cheating? This isn't a game, it's a conversation
