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.

What does it mean?
From the article:
Task masking, or “fauxductivity” as some call it, refers to when office employees find ways to make it look like they’re extremely busy working on something.
Fauxnalism- make up a shitty portmanteau, generalize about an enormous group of people based on their age without any hard data, assert you have special insight into something that doesn't exist to divide and distract from real issues and generate clicks and outrage and profit. 50% of "news" in 2025.
Ironically, this article is fauxductivity it adds nothing to anything, and could mostly be AI slop.
50% seems like a low estimate.
I was trying not to be sensational but felt it should be higher as my made up stat, but decided lower and inarguable would be best since the internet loves to split hairs.
