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.

Are you painting the whole picture here?
First thing that comes to my mind is: You have met the person, thus connected, then worked together remotely.
That is a physical presence. How much physical presence is required for a good working relationship differs from individual to ~; having personally experienced a coworker is invaluable in my opinion.
The second paragraph does not resonate with me, I am from across the pond. To each their own!
I think it really does come down to individuals. Neither approach is going to work for everyone.
Not to oversimplify, but I think a big component is that extraverts feel more connected in person, whereas introverts will thrive when they can more easily regulate draining social encounters.
