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.

Didn't he come out recently telling young people to waste their lives cucking so he can get another lambo?

What's that thing American slaves were allowed so that they would fuck it up and be happy with the structure provided by the slave owner? You know, happy with some freedom some would get drunk, others gamble, etc.

Anyway, it was shit.

Don't fall into that trap.

Narayama Murthy is a mistake.

I wonder how many hours a week he works.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 11 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Murthy claimed he himself worked six and a half days a week until retirement, typically 14 hours and 10 minutes a day, clocking on at 6:20 AM before downing tools at 8:30 PM.

So he's a workaholic and he wants to force that on everyone.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Maybe not. Maybe he just hates being home so he'd "clock in" then dick around for 5.5 days. Having a shit relationship with your partner makes it a lot easier to pretend to work longer hours as an excuse not to come home.

If there were a wall, and let's say he was first against it, there would not be many surprised people.
