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.

"for more money than I need" - that's the real trick, employers aren't exactly looking to give people more money than they need, it's sort of the exact opposite typically
I'd say your doing better than many if you have surplus money! But to your point, I do agree slaving away all day to make someone else rich sucks
This is GenZ we're talking about, I'm from a fairly LCOL area, so most people I know, don't have many responsibilities and rent and food aren't too high. So I don't think for my situation it's that uncommon.
Lol I'm just about to ask my boss about raises this year. Let's see what happens... 100% of my pay is going into cost of living right now
Edit: no idea as she hasn't heard anything from HR. lmao I doubt we'll be seeing much of anything even though we increased profits by 4 million a year this year.
