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.

Rockstar always gets me.
"Okay, so is it cool if I roll out of bed around noon, pound a 40, and come to work for a few hours while expecting a high salary and constant praise?"
"No, of course not."
"Then, in your own words, why don't you tell me what you think a rockstar is. Is the rockstar in the room with us right now?"
Everybody wants a rockstar employee until I show up coked out of my mind for work smh.
Hey, as long as you're a good coder, I don't care how high you are. Though I'll need to find a way to explain the new "Misc" category in my budget.
You've done your company a great service, and we thank you and we trust you found the compensation satisfactory.
Oh, the money's fine.
The situation's totally unacceptable.
Well, gentlemen, I guess that just about wraps it up.
Where is the miscellaneous account?
I thought we'd settled that.
The miscellaneous account is somewhere very safe.
From whom?
The account is a source of important funding and it has to be internally audited.
And it will be, I assure you, Mr. Brody,
Dr. Jones.
We have top men working on it right now.
Who?
TOP...MEN
Rockstar: solve all our problems
