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 like working in an office
I like a short commute, and companies like to have their offices in expensive places that are unaffordable.
Or they're in office parks out in the middle of nowhere, and the closest residential anything is 20+ minutes away.
Pros of working in an office:
Cons of working in an office:
I do to, I don't like commuting.
The laziest employees prefer the office, since they can just sit and do nothing, but get credit since they sat in their cubicle all day.
Getting measured based on your productivity terrifies lazy employees (some of whom are executives).
I manage a team of 20 employees, in a hybrid environment. I only have to 'monitor' the employees in the office, because they tend to 'disappear', miss deadlines, be late for meetings. Not all of them, but none of my remote workers have these issues.
I like biking into my office, if I had to drive no fucking way
