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.

I agree, I left software dev 10 years ago. The previous 3 decades were a golden age - we went from working with wild-west code and flat files to modular programming and databases, then object-oriented programming, then the web came along and brought another wild-west period, then came millions of packages and frameworks du jour. A giant wave of all that was just curling overhead when I left, but hadn't crashed down yet. Now if your web page with a button on it doesn't use 47 libraries you're not a software engineer lol.
