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.

Perspective from someone forced to use AI at work:

I am a software developer and I am "invited" to use AI to ship as fast as possible. I hate it with all of my heart, and you know why? Because before I could think of myself and use the time to create something, whereas now I have to spend the same amount of time to talk to a machine and I can't do anything while it works. If it doesn't understand I have to explain again. It's frustrating

I've started to think of it as the person sitting in the driver seat of a self-driving car. You aren't actually driving, but you have to be paying attention at all times just in case you need to intercede.
.
Now when you develop using AI, you can't (or at least aren't supposed to) multitask, you just have to sit there, doing nothing but literally staring at the screen trying to read the "thinking" as it scrolls past, endlessly...for hours on end.

Novel and entertaining the first time around. Rote and uninspired every time after.
