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.

It was never really about productivity
Yep. It's about commercial real estate, and justifying the existence of middle management.
Don't forget extreme micromanagement
Which always leads to better metrics/KPIs right lean leaders? Right?
And demand for oil.
It was partly about finding an easy reason to let people go / coerce people to leave.
All that money they invested in corporate real estate is probably a driving factor too., but IMO it's probably mostly about their own perceived power of people: Micromanaging the shit out of people is just easier and more gratifying to them in person.
