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.

That's certainly true of Doctorow โ I've had to mute him on several platforms because he types out so damn much.
I mean that as a backhanded compliment, of course! There is always a good point to his writings, I just personally have other things to do than keep up with every post he publishes...
Sometimes though, you have to sit up in your chair. Like when he coined the phrase "enshittification", and here again.
Rejecting metrics and self quantification resonates deep with me. Blog stats, clicks and upvotes and likes and reposts... those aren't valuable parameters for me to gauge my online life (such as it is).
Glad to see this so thoroughly and well put, and to a rapt audience that will hopefully follow suit and adopt the same notion.
