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.

This seems to be saying that AirBnB workers are getting nearly$300k per annum. I call bullshit.
Sounds about right for a tech company tbh
Obviously this is prolly includes their white collar corpo drones, ie security and janitors are subcontracted out to some sweat shop that violates their contracts and labor laws in normal course of business
The CEO pay is hilariously misrepresented as well. The Airbnb CEO might not get a huge salary compared to some of the others but he gets monstrous pay packages. He got $120 million in bonuses and stocks alone a few years ago.
Same goes for all CEOs. They typically wrap an ass ton of their "income" into bonuses and stocks options.
You might be misunderstanding the AirBnB business model.
So all the back office functions (that any company needs to function regardless of the product/service they provide) are earning hundreds of thousands of dollars? No way.
