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.

I support that. Let's have a meaningful movement. Not to decrease our working hours, but to increase our earnings compared to our productivity.

A part of my job is to calculate the income of the doctors at our hospital.

They earn their income based on their effort. If they do an easy thing, then they earn little money. If they do something more scarce, then they earn more money. They earn money based on how many patients they help. Not based on how many hours they are at the hospital.

I see vast differences between income between doctors. Many of them are fine with working few hours because they earn enough anyways. Other doctors aim at 40k euros income per month. They work a lot.

It's personal choice.

The work reform movement must include the people that want to work a lot.

People that are satisfied with basic necessities (I'm sad for their children) are fine enough with simple tax and social transfers. They don't even need to have a job (they are hated by people).

But the people that want to work, need to be paid for their efforts.
