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.

Except I can't switch cause the tech sector crashed and nobody hits me back.
Man I am getting hit up a lot. What do you focus on?
Better question: what do you focus on?
Data engineering, pipeline stuff, cloud dev to support the pipeline... with enough cs chops to pass software engineer interviews rust/TS/python. Obv SQL too. Docker, terraform and similar like cloud formation. Conversational enough to interface with PMs and external clients.
Enough architecture experience to build out medium scale data applications
Something like 6th year
What I should have said:
Data structures and algorithms bro
TC or gtfo
Total comp?
Let's just say I'm very comfortable and own a home near Denver.
Yeah I'm just a 5 year IT guy. That's probably why. I have taken data structures and algorithms classes in college though maybe I could look at that.
Any interest in DevOps? Might be a good extension from it
It sounds cool, tbh. I'd be willing to look a lot of places in tech for something new. My current place is just verifiably insane. They had no help desk tickets when I got here.
Yikes.
Maybe browse some AWS certifications. You could rack several up in a few weeks or months and have a few more feathers in the cap
hope you find something, wish you luck!
