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.

If AI is so productive, we should have Unuversal Basic Income, and free college/vocational education for anyone who wants it.

Let's make anything over 32 hours double pay.

It's already cooked Bernie. It's a charred dead carcass.

But then they couldn't pay 1/2 as many people as they used to while still expecting the same amount of work to get done.

It's just gross is all. Don't really want any of that shareholder action

Interesting that the article never cites or states how much AI has improved productivity - but rather focuses on the 4-day work week. Kinda strange to only look at the end outcome and ignore the cause of expecting that outcome.

3-day by now. 4-day was due before AI, so why would this great boost not make the difference?

3-day week, baseline annual salary across the board of $100,000, free health care for all and capital asset tax of 95% over $50 million

Who's with me?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I'm down for that. I could be satisfied with only $50 million.

The people.
