Employers are less motivated to pay workers a living wage.
Cause, meet effect!
Underpaid as it is and got told no raise for at least a year because of the way the company is doing. They're getting a good deal. Good for them the labour market is shit right now. Ask me where my motivation is.
Most people took a paycut even if they got a "raise" so it's not really a surprise.
Plus the planet is burning.
Heat saps energy. Despair does too.
There's less incentive to work.
Maybe people are pissed off about being forced to either RTO or be reprimanded/fired. So they either quit or in the meantime put less effort in.
it all feels pointless. after 2020 we know they can just pull the rug on everything....my generation and future ones know that there probably isn't a future because we're still polluting even though if we stopped now we'd all be suffering anyway so....full steam ahead i guess
RTO mandates are such a vile vile figment of the mid 2020s. massive quality of life downgrades are being mandated because some rich fucks bet too many fucking parlays on fucking office buildings
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.
