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.

I'll bite.
Are you ready to pay the company for their time after the first half person-hour spent interviewing you?
More serious answer: are you really only investing half an hour of time investigating the company you will work for? Sheesh, when I'm looking I want to know work conditions, typical and expected hours, opportunity for growth, WFH policy, reasons for vacancy, industry connections, compensation structure, mentorship, responsabilities... and I mean more than just asking that list of questions and taking whatever they say at face value.
I guess it's all moot if you only plan to be there for three months, but who the hell would want to hire someone for three months. At that point, just be a contractor.
They're hiring you, not the other way around. So of course not.
