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.

I used to work for a company that outsourced most of its developers to Infosys. I managed a few of them. They were lovely people, treated like shit by my company and by Infosys. I did my best with the little power available to me to give them reasonable projects and maintain reasonable expectations, they said I was the best manager they ever had. After I got laid off, they all quit too and most I think ended up working for Oracle somehow, I don't know how they're doing these days but Oracle sounds like it's probably a fate worse than death, unfortunately.
