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.

Any therapist telling you to "ignore your instincts" without diagnosing you with a relevant condition (e.g. PTSD, OCD) isn't worth their salt. And not all therapists are licensed to diagnose you, so you'd need to be referred to a potentially different professional.
It's like any other professional. You try stuff they suggest, and sometimes it doesn't work out or you simply want 2nd opinion on a matter. It's not perfect, but generally it helps.
Worst case, they waste a few hundred dollars and learn its not for them. I've wasted more money with worse things. I think the risk of getting "addicted to therapy" is much smaller than gambling or drugs.
