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’d rather get a new job than have to buy a whole-ass work wardrobe
Finding a new job is hard though, especially in tech. Most companies will under pay college grads or import workers.
Where is this true?
practically everywhere. I have friends all over the industry and all of them, brilliant engineers, are finding the competition fierce. Everyone is looking around.
Name a place and job title
To be fair, virtually every job I have been applying for lately says casual dress. Although that might just be a UK thing?
WFH casual is wayyy more casual than the most casual office casual.
