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.

I've spent the better part of the last decade of my 16 years in technology either trying to shield my team from a constant river of bullshit or contributing to projects that are clearly DOA from day one.
Got laid off a month ago and to be completely honest, I'm pretty bummed about the idea of going back to another corporate job. I'm going to do what I've gotta do to take care of my family. But there's an increasingly large part of me that isn't sure I want to do this until I retire. Don't get me wrong, I do my job for the money; not the enjoyment. Anymore, a "good" job is one that I don't hate. But it would be nice to work at something that doesn't feel like a total waste of my time and expertise.
