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.

Thanks for the complement ... and I'm glad my hot take resonates. If you like you can paste this into your own post (and just link back here or whatever if you want to cite me).
Your own experience realising that you've felt this but not been able to talk about it could be a very interesting addition or framing and is also probably deserving of its own post!
Aww, you guys are sweet!
Kidding aside, you're definitely onto something vis a vis insecure and quite likely incompetent middlemen!
As a middleman that's certainly not insecure and hopefully not incompetent I don't know what to say.
BUT I agree with most of it, as long as it doesn't apply to me.
There, summed it up for you ๐
Or me! Let's jump in a convo and discuss this. Post this in our Kubernetes or have one of our interns do it. Let's say "this afternoon and I will cancel anyway"-ish?
