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.

The majority of Americans are not engaged at work, 70% of managers have no training to lead a hybrid team and it could be killing employee engagement (www.cnbc.com)

Engagement surveys of course. I always give a negative review on those.

They could have fucking paid me more with the money hey wasted on asshole company doing the survey.

As a former asshole designing, implementing, and running those surveys in various capacities, the company only runs these to dishonestly interpret the results as they please. Noone will be surprised to learn your employer almost certainly doesn't care about what you think - only the returns you deliver. It's for their benefit - not ours.

Mind you, it could be worse - I remember speaking to an exec at a major bank that told me words to the effect of "I know we have a morale problem - a big fucking morale problem - but if I measure it, I'll have to actually do something about it."

Yep, the only result I've ever seen from these engagement surveys are things NOBODY would ever have requested, but management insists was demanded in the survey. Things like returning to the bullshit yearly self-reviews.

Also, hello fellow Wookie.
