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.

Getting a business degree is simply the socially acceptable version of the underwater basket weaving trope that people complain about. It's only practical in the sense that people don't scorn it in the same way they do other niche topics. I would trust the intelligence of someone with a degree in medieval shoe making over a suit with an MBA.
I've said this before that MBAs teach people to make the worst decisions possible in any given situation. The critique of the frozen businessmen from Adventure Time is pretty spot on.
