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.

Unfortunately all you can do is try to thicken your skin and attempt to "manage upwards".
"I appreciate the feedback and I'll bear that in mind in the future, but there's nothing I can do about this months later. Next time let me know when I still have an opportunity to correct the issue and I'll gladly course-correct."
And refuse to sign the review. Be specific that you don't accept being penalized for mistakes you made months before you were told the rule.
You can push back while being polite and professional in some places, so it's worth a shot if you're already being shit on or are on the way out.
If you've tried it and gotten nowhere though, just disengage and try to stop caring so much.
Your manager's failure to communicate is their problem, not yours.
