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 feel you on this. I'm usually way too honest but I'm working for a company I hate and these meetings are more of a liability for me than anything else. I'm also quiet quitting as kind of a moral imperative to take as much from this truly evil company as possible while I prep for the next gig.
Until you can find yourself somewhere you want to be you just have to prep a little for those meetings with some canned responses. At least 1 thing that is going ok, 1 very small thing that you feel could be improved, and then just say that's all you have for this meeting. In my limited experience, managers are more than happy to give your time back. One other trick to burn time in the meeting is to change the topic to weekend plans, asking your manager first what they're doing and then having anything, even if it is boring, to respond with about your plans.
Best of luck 🤞
