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.

I thought my employer wants me to come in is because a lot of my work is hands on. Kinda hard to debug an electrical problem remotely.

Hopefully the hybrid model is here to stay. I actually prefer being in the office. The only negative of going in for me is the commute.

It's rare, but I'm the same way. It helps that my commute is 10 minutes in a relatively small city and there's next to zero traffic due to the small size and hours I work. If I had a horrific, or even mildly annoying, commute then I'd feel very different about it. I've turned down higher paying jobs because they required a 45min-1hr one way drive through shit traffic... And that was in 2018 and again in 2021 when that company had already forced everyone back into the office. They're huge on "you must be in the office" and COVID didn't change it for them.

I like to have the physical distinction of "office is for work, home is for not work". But, I also love the option of work from home. Planning to leave early for a long weekend? WFH that day so I can hop in the car as soon as I'm done. Dentist appointment at 0800? WFH for the morning, drive to dentist, continue on into the office afterwards.

I know I'm lucky with my current convenient commute... I couldn't handle what a lot of people do and if I was in that position I'd maybe go into the office once a week if at all.
