Work Reform
9856 readers
5 users here now
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.

They have the wrong idea here. Most people who have nothing/nothing meaningful to do at work still have to be present and give the semblance of working. Or do bullshit tasks that nobody will ever check, but if you don't do them you risk losing your job and your income.
Being bored out of my mind is extremely exhausting to me.
This. And even if you do have time to let your mind wander you can't actually "do" your hobbies at work. At least for me I can't do any personal programming projects while working or my job will own whatever I do.
I don't even plan to sell anything, I just want ownership of it so I can't even fill my time with that.
That's why you bring your own laptop. Never, and mean NEVER, do anything personal on a work computer.
Easier said than done, but yes this is very true. It's way too easy to fuck up and touch the wrong account, or sync the wrong data, or otherwise contaminate your personal projects with work.
