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 yeah, driving people to quit to save money on severance from the impending layoffs is the whole point of forcing them to return to the office
You don't like the anal probe? Just leave!!
(*without any additional pay or severance)
They should really open just an absolute shit load of individual constructive dismissal cases.
Labor boards might notice then though.
They should really keep a poster about Amazon in their offices permanently.
My guess is that by going fully onsite, they can probably avoid layoffs entirely. The majority of tech roles are hybrid or remote so the departures are going to be often and steady which will naturally select out anyone not interesting in making their life Amazon. They want employees that live and breath Amazon and this is how they get that (or just keep desperate people).
The hilarious thing is that the first ones to go will be the high performers. They're executing a dumb as shit layoff that will set them far behind competitors.
Nah they'll just see it as a success because the ones getting overpaid have left
