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.

Dude sucks and is ruining the planet, but this quote is taken out of context and if you read beyond the headline you'll see that. He's saying that his employees should "wake up every morning terrified" of losing their customers to competitors. That's just like... a dumb capitalistic aphorism that doesn't really mean anything.
How could you say it doesn't mean anything? They don't say these words for no reason at all. He meant that. He wanted you to wake up and be 'terrified like he is." This whole game is how can we get the dial to go past 11? How hard can I push these people to extract the maximum amount of value? Listen to them when they speak, they mean it.
