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.

Well, I spent several hours talking to them the other day, wishing them well and wishing my support to them. If I was still in the state, I would be out there side by side with my literal fucking friends. I'll also support the newly formed entertainment union that JUST voted to unionize. I'll speak on their behalf and tell people how the company treats them unfairly and fucks them over every single day.
What the fuck do you want me to do? Not have taken advantage of my employer while I was working there and taken the employer match? It's in a 401k, it's not like I can just get rid of it all for another 30 years and it's not like I have much.
Stop being a fucking dick.
You know what man, I really don't know what I want you to do, and I'm sorry for coming at you like that. I and we have been taking so many godamn L's I lashed out. I hope you and y'all and we find a way. I don't have a means to help and I also don't have anything close to retirement so I assumed you might. I hope it gets better.
Don't think twice about it, I hope you start to get some Ws soon. We all deserve some grace. I truly hope things get better for you and you can bounce back. I really appreciate the reply and the private message apologizing.
This turned out very wholesomely. I hope y'all are both doing alright.
I hope we all do, the thought of this whole clown show is downright scary.
