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.

Heh... Nobody working on Friday has been a joke since I was a kid. Turns out, it's not a joke!
Of course, the reason why nobody works on Friday always seemed to be anticipation of the weekend, so I would imagine going to a 4 day work week, eventually, would lead to the same thing. Except it'll be Thursday. π€

Greetings from work! Obviously 4-day weeks would be perfect
Rookie numbers
Friday?
Probably Monday, since that day has the highest suicide rate.
Are there studies into whether we'd spend one day doing nothing in a 4 day work week?
Who cares? If you wanna do nothing on your day off itβs none of the rest of societies fucking business. Why are we so cucked by this system man?
Hey look a boot kicker defending a garbage system. Good work!
How am I defending the system? My comment was pretty much βthis system sucksβ
Where are the jobs where I do nothing for 1 day out of the week and how do I apply? I can barely step away for a lunch consistently.
Yo same. I'm burning out after 3 years of this. I've gotten to the point I don't care anymore and I'm going to less than half ass shit until I make them fire me or I get a new job.
Same. I'm even working more than 8 hours a day on most days.
Them white collar guys got it easy and they're still complaining about it!
