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.

Older Millennial here and because I hang out at websites that Zoomers do, I've also started doing this. Y'all have had a major influence on the way I see life, the universe, and everything. I try to keep my sick, PTO, and UPT hours as close to 0 as I can. I call off several times a month and I've come into work late every single day for almost a year straight now.
If you're going to give me the time, I'm going to use it. Only thing I save up is vacation hours for a yearly trip to wherever.
In your boat and managed university students. Even millennials are dinosaurs and we all just need to get out of the way.
That part is questionable, but if you're just working 10a - 6p, it's fine. If you're making another person cover for you until 9:02, it's absolutely not fine.
That's a management issue lol
Look at this wagie discovering solidarity all of a sudden.
8-5 with unpaid lunch is normal here. 830-45 is "late" even if you work til 530-45. Just my experience
The company has a backup plan for this (they offer extra shifts to cover tardiness/absences and someone always picks them up), not to mention that we're overstaffed almost every single day; bottom line is that I'm not worried about it. It's the company's responsibility to have enough staff on-hand, not mine.
