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.

We used to dream that AI would do all the boring stuff so we could pursue our artistic endeavors.
Turns out it's the opposite lol. There will be no days off for us.
The other day for laughs in jira I looked at the suggested issues the AI came up with, and they looked like jargon-laden nonsense. But I could see a future where the upper management do nothing business idiots don't care and just slop up a bunch of tasks and assign those out and call it a day's work.
Everything has become an exercise in cosplaying and pantomiming the thing that's supposed to actually happen, and AI is the thing that'll really keep that train rolling. It's a fucking weapons grade, automated potemkin village creator.
Make sure to use AI to solve the issues flagged by AI.
