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.

Do NOT do this.
Taking a live proficiency test is one thing, particularly if you're applying for more senior roles, but doing actual projects for free in your spare time should be a hard pass. Full stop.
I made the mistake of doing a take home assignment once. They didn't even have the courtesy to give me feedback on it when I asked.
Not doing a home assignment(or work test as we call them) would mean never getting a job within the industry I work in, or at least not within the country I'm in.
And as someone that have been on both sides of this they are a great tool especially as it gives something to focus on in a technical interview. Though I would say that a requirement for this is that you always give/get actual feedback.
What the hell industry do you work in, then?
