I guess it’s a good thing I make my own coffee at home. Bonus! It doesn’t taste like burnt bean water!

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.

Starbucks is a company that sells sugar for a lot of money. Who cares what happens to them.
If someone Luigi's him, they better spell his name wrong on the bullets.

Gets invited to meeting with manager. Employee orders coffee for the meeting Manager says, his coffee will be "To Go"
I work at a bakery (we’ve got snacks, coffee, cake, and danishes in addition to bread), and every once in a while I see two people come in and it’s not clear if they’re on a date until they disagree about whether it’s for here or to go. Then I realize that only one of them thought it was a date. It’s especially awkward if the one who did has already offered to pay for everything.
Doing that for a job instead of a date is brutal

Shifting "blame" on these white-collar police dogs (megacorp CEOs) instead of shareholders (and the system demanding growth) only needs to happen when everyone understands that even 96m is 2.6% of 3.760m of net income (2024).
So if 1k people were let go all of them could have gotten 1m of bonus and still the company would have made almost 3bn.
But they were let go bcs yoy income (but not revenue) was lower last year, and the financial markets demand a sacrifice (literally any action, even if not actually needed, just to send a signal they are 'on it').
The usual "efficient" meat grinder stuff.

Had to get the money from somewhere. Just like Trump. Fire a bunch of workers for the tax cut payments to billionaires. Like clockwork.
