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.

My last job was remote for a fortune 100 company. Large companies are 100% on board with this because it is efficient. It's only executive discretion arguing against flexible work.
Efficiency always wins in the end.
I can name a Fortune 100 bank, run by a total asshole, that does not and has never believed in remote work. Efficiency is not a factor there.
I can name a fortune 100 bank that isn't run by total asshole that does.
Efficiency wins in the end.
Feel free to name the company. In my experience, no tech companies are, nor are many of the major companies hiring software engineers (Bloomberg, JPMC, Amex, Salesforce, GS, and Capital One) are all being shitty when it comes to RTO.
