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.

My sense of responsibility won't let me miss deadlines, but that's a rare occasion, and I make up for it by doing literally nothing but dialing in to required meetings and deflecting work for however many days as I feel makes it right.
This is like the silent quitting or whatever.
My biggest gripe is that its still a waste of my time. If I was able to still work at home at least I could be productive there while doing this.
If the task I started on Friday isn't finished by someone else by the time I come back on Monday, then the crews working every shift after my Friday shift aren't doing their job.
Whether that's true depends on one's job.
Some work is solo work.
I'm a janitor. They should be cleaning those toilets I didn't get to.
Sure.
In my job, the philosophy is: if you can't end it bè the end of your shift, you are understaffed, and if so, then the problem is not yours, so go home and finish it tomorrow.
Unless it's a real emergency, obviously, but those are so rare that I rarely end up a year with more than 10 hours of overtime at the end of december.
I'd say you can do the work you're so enthusiastic about
