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.

It's legal because we live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as "democracy".
Not only is it perfectly legal but the executives would argue that they are bound by their fiduciary duty to their shareholders. Layoffs increase stock price => shareholders make money => shareholders approve bonus for executives.

Those brave executives deserve huge bonuses after standing up against the little man.
I like how they keep needing tax breaks and shit because they provide jobs.
Tax breaks only for companies that haven't fired anyone in the past two years.
Congrats; everyone is now a contractor and they don’t have to fire anyone - they just don’t renew contracts.
Zuckerturds looking like evil Beaker lately.

Executives, surely the most valuable assets for a company. Who would reorg and layoff without these underpaid geniuses?
Imagine the amount of human centipede like fart sniffing must go on in that boardroom.
So inexorably divorced from reality.
Intel CEO is leading that company as it just falls further and further behind. They laid off a bunch of people and got rid of a lot but they still gave him a $6mil bonus.
We don’t even really get bonuses when we do super well but these fuckwits will get millions of dollars while their choices actively destroy the company they’re supposed to working for.
No shock there.
The same Meta that pissed away billions of dollars on "the metaverse" because the super genius Fuckerberg had some grand vision that he felt so strongly about that he even had the company renamed to reflect this vision?
It's never the so-called leaders who suffer when they make poor decisions even though their job is to call all the shots, but they're always first in line to reap the rewards off of all the people who actually do the work.
gotta get that Bugatti somehow
