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.

Not op and not native English speaking, but to me it reads like "I want to solve the problems your current staff is too stupid for"
edited a part I misunderstood
It sounds more like he wants to be on the cutting edge developing stuff that hasn't been done before, due to technical limitations. Not specifically fixing things wrong in a company because their other employees were too dumb.
That's the exact kind of thing experienced developers want to do.
They don't always want to just write easy code again and again. That can get boring and tedious. They want to come into a project with difficult problems and take ownership of them and solve them.
I can see that but why not write it in a way that doesn't insult your potential future coworkers and indirectly the people who hired them?
Because the audience is not his future co-workers, it's the managers and hiring staff who have problems that they need solved and are aware of the existing limitations that they have within the team.
I want to solve the problems ChatGPT can solve
