Work Reform

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.

Companies are dictatorships
Tell me JP Morgan is underwater on commercial real estate without telling me JP Morgan is underwater on commercial real estate
Well eliminating a self selecting group of disproportionately high performers certainly won't hurt them long term.
This is the true answer. Yes, there is some boomer powerplay aspect, but he is not stupid, he’s all about making more money.
His rich and powerful investor “friends” are bleeding money on commercial real estate (and maybe on related investments like downtown coffee shops), they put a lot of pressure on him. I go even further, it is not a coincidence that more companies started pushing for full time RTO at the same time, this is orchestrated or at least encouraged from behind the scenes by the elite, probably also involving some politicians (who are also neck deep in commercial RE).
Still, it is absolutely stupid and short sighted. I live close to my office, so I like to go in a few times a week, but I would never want to be there full time again.
Another name for the list, it seems.
Which list? I’m on a bunch by now
That would be the CEO list.
That phrase is about to be much more literal if these people get their way
Edit: BTW I love your username, were you inspired by Semi Hemi Lemmygod? They're both hilarious. I think the art of choosing a good name for something is underappreciated.
Same person, just changed the display name :). Glad you like it!
