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.

My vacation is not moving for a few days in my apartment playing video games eating ultra processed frozen foods that were on sale Edit: for anyone saying this is an incredible vacation you need to think hard about how it's not. Years ago people used to be able to go places and do things. Now we're numb.

Even I, someone who loves videogames, want to leave the house sometimes. I have been sheltering in place, to avoid spending money.

...it sucks.

Sounds like a good time to me

ETA: This was meant more as a joke, specifically from own neurodivergent and introverted perspective. I do agree that people in general are more tired in modern life and that is arguably quite bad.

The bar is so low compared to my parent's days.
