Work Reform

1134 users here now
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.

I wonder how much of his time has been spent applying for other markets. The middle of New York isn't the hottest market and remote jobs are very in demand.
I also think companies relying on solely AI are going to struggle long term or have to spend a ton of money fixing the mistakes that it creates.
Yeah, this reads more like the guy isn't employable. The tech market has been rough for a while, but not being able to find anything for a year is an outlier.
Looking at his substack, he talks about AI being able to solve the mystery of UAPs. Sooo may be more the guy then the industry.
Not to mention, how are you making that much and not socking anything away for later?
RVs aren't cheap and neither is lot rental.
So the RV was the backup plan?
There’s always money in the RV.
Narrator: This time, there wasn’t.
I think a lot of people idealize that lifestyle until they get there and have sunk all their money into it.
just an article posted earlier, klarn is suffering from that exact thing, using AI and they are struggling to survive without employees.
Oh come on, we cannot expect this class unconscious wannabe professional vibe coder to have market awareness. A lot of software developers are people who basically won the lottery (got into the right field at the right time) and think they deserved all of it. They think the poor people who were in other careers are just worse than them and that's why they're poor.
He doesn't understand why unseen people aren't clamoring to pay him $150k/year to browse Reddit when they don't even have to anymore to provide the illusion to the market that they're software companies.
That's right guys, some of this is about impressions and stock prices and always has been. It was the case before chatgpt and friends that you'd have to have a slew of engineers doing stuff to look like a tech company. No longer. Even the big tech companies are doing away with lots of people. So now to look like a tech company you have to keep saying AI into a mirror and hope it conjures up a bunch of new investors.
