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.

Hang on Gen X once the boomer population dies out you're next in the ongoing war to keep generations hating each other. You may get lucky and the future articles will skip over you and go directly to the "uptight, low tolerance Millennials"
These articles are such overgeneralized bullshit just to get people mad at each other. I bet there are older workers that are always late to work and I bet there are young workers that are on time and do amazing work. Yet nuance like that doesn't drive angry clicks and comments.
I'm looking forward to it. GenX here, fuck all of you and fuck all of this. I just want to spend time with my family and friends.
I don't think anyone outside of GenX understands how fucked GenX is. We are jaded AF You're free to come for us but fuck around and find out.
Lol as if fuck around and find out is exclusive to one generation.
No previous generation has ever wanted to spend time with family and friends before! This is unprecedented!! Every single old person has only ever wanted to go to work and help create value for shareholders by fucking over the disadvantaged!!!
Millennials aren't doing hot either. As best as I can tell Gen Z has the best chance because they've adjusted to the new economic reality.
I mean...yeah?
Nah man, we don't want to fuck with you except as friends. After the boomers, we all cool.
If you say so, but I’m a millennial who heard a lot of “we’ll never belittle the next generation like the Boomers did to us” from my peers back in the day. And yet here we are calling the next generation “iPad kiddies” and taking the piss of teenagers who are doing the exact same shit we should have done if we had TikTok in the 90s.
Who's we? I'm not interested in dumping on anyone, neither are my millennial friends.
Sure, there's stuff I don't like, I don't agree with trashing school bathrooms bc of online trends, but I'd have said the same as a young kid as well. Otherwise, kids are doing their thing, and we don't need to understand it.
I've employed several, and in my experience they're usually the ones who spend most of their time at the bottom of a bottle.
Low tolerance millennials?
If anything millennials are just becoming more and more radicalized against the elites and the unhealthy work "ethics" they had to endure.
Good on the next generations if they dare standing up for themselves.
Some of us. A lot of us are just like the stereotype of our boomer parents.
Millennials are reversing the trend and getting more progressive as they age contrary to all other studied generations

Gen X exists in name only. It went from boomers to millenials and nobody blinked.
