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'm really sorry for what you have to endure (likely) in the USA. I can only say that it is very different here in Europe.
Its also shitty and annoying but on a completely different level aka much better in general (of course not every country or company). Everytime I left an employer they were sad to see me go for two reasons: money/invest of course but also regarding the impression I left.
Nope, Switzerland. Boss trash talks ex employees after they leave, e.g. "not sad to see them go since they were low-performers" in his imaginary world of instant gratification.
I do think the extent is atypical, though.
