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’d be hesitant to work for a company that has a reputation of calling remote employees to RTO. At least, I’d factor that in when deciding to take the job and need a much higher salary for the reduced job security.

Hey pal, we're trying to maximize this quarter's profits. You're holding a negative long-term view which is keeping the team from synergizing though magical hallway conversations, so why don't you take an action item to realign your personal KPIs with the company's and we'll circle back next week to touch base.

You can maximize profits, or, you can create sustainable value. That’s on you, brother …

I’m good with maximizing company KPIs, as long as they balance out to a positive benefit for me in the long run. Otherwise, what are we doing here?

I wish there was an actual solid company review site for jobs. Glassdoor was supposed to be that but quickly enshittified cause it got bought by shitty companies that didnt want their ex employees/victims whistleblowing
