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.

If you work from home, no one is forcing you to do that. I leave the house every day to buy groceries or play basketball.
Oh, you're one of those annoying people wasting everyone's time? No wonder it takes you 12 hours to do your own work.
Have you heard of this amazing invention called a chat room? I think you are upset you can't bug people all day and call it "networking". If people want to talk to you, they'll do it after work too.
See it's vitriol like this in every thread that is just so immeasurably irritating. I'm chiming in, in good faith, with my personal opinion on the matter, and you shit all over me like we're not all just trying to get our work done. I find it more efficient working together in an office, leave me the fuck alone will you?
You just said that you like learning from other opinions. My opinion is that you should stop bugging people and leave people alone.
If this comment is unwanted, imagine how everyone else feels when you butt in with whatever questions you have.
You said hybrid doesn't work if other people aren't there at the same time. You not only want to be in the office, you admit that you want to force other people to be there too. Just put your questions in an email like a normal person.
I've reconsidered my position and agree you and your toxic attitude should stay home.
At least you're telling me online, not in person where it's harder to ignore.
I bet you don't pick up the phone either. Maybe if I ask point blank "answer the fucking phone" instead of pinging me right after I call when I KNOW you're right there. Forget about a video call. Poor verbal communication skills, difficulty expressing yourself without negative emotions, probably autistic to some degree, toxic personality, not liked by colleagues or staff. I know your type and your work better be outstanding because your attitude sucks.
Yeah, it's my attitude that's the problem...
🙄🙄🙄
That's you saying you hate learning and teaching. That's when you lost the high ground here. Your attitude is toxic and I wouldn't want you anywhere near me or my team. So yeah PLEASE stay at home and just fuck off.
