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.

Interesting topic, but the article's writing style is god-awful and a bit hard to get through.
Here is another article on the subject, ctl f “At the center of the cultural problems”
I had a prof in college that graded like this (in an intro level geology class lol) and it made the atmosphere brutal. I don’t remember the exactly distribution but top x% got As bottom x% got Fs.
Waterfall grading curves are the dumbest of ideas, especially for an entry level course.
Yeah, I’ve done a lot more school since and never seen it in another course. Shitty person I suppose.
Keeps loading another article as I try to read.
Weird, here’s the 12ft version.
That works for some reason, thank you. Not sure linking was the issue, just that the website does a redirect after a while for whatever reason.
Just like the evaluation system!
