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.

Requiring 8 years of any particular tech is ridiculous in of itself. If you haven't learned what there is to learn in 3 years, you won't learn any more in the subsequent 5.
Yeah but its a shitty tactic to pay less. "We wanted X years, but you have X-Y years of experience, so we can't give you the high end of the pay scale"
Never thought about that angle. I don't think I've dealt with this kind of manipulative behaviour myself, but I don't doubt it.
It's such a dangerous game to play, as the "requirements" don't match reality. At least someone along that chain of communication doesn't know something they should know about their job. The alternative of just being a negotiation tactic would make me consider ending the interview immediately.
