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.

Sell yourself! Create a brand! Research companies!
No, fuck all that. Create one good resume and shotgun that into every open role you see. If you really like a role, put in some time to tweak the resume.
Play the numbers game. They are.
Also, they're using ai to weed out applicants, use ai to generate applicable content. They lie about the job description, you lie on your resume. You're allowed to play the game with any tools at your disposal.
BAD COMPANIES do this.
why would you want to work at a bad company? I know you want the paycheck, but that kind of company is gonna wage theft your ass, anyway.
Paycheck until you find a good one.
oh yeah? And how easy is it to find a good company that can actually pay you? You think all the bad ones have a tag on their front page that says "hey, we comb through your resume with an ai"? If i had the option to only apply to companies who don't do this, that'd be my first choice, but as it stands, the only way to find them is to play the numbers game.
Besides, this is against the point anyway. You want us to all play by the rules when they don't have to? At that point you're cheating yourself on the basis of "not all companies".
