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.

Really depends on the job.
If you complete all assigned tasks on time and don't inhibit anyone else's schedule, then who gives a shit?
If it's shift work and someone is waiting for you to arrive so they can start their work, or worse, end their shift and go home, then yeah it's a huge dick move.
I mean yes in practise and if you put it that way of course.
I'm just saying that as a general rule you should be on time.
I'm with the zoomers on this one, honestly. If the workload is independent then there is no reason to demand what time the person gets started on that work load if it's going to take the same amount of time. Yes, there are jobs where its time sensitive or assisting customers so obviously you need to be in place by a certain time, but that is not universal.
And it cuts both ways, if you consider it rude for a person to not show up by a mandated, arbitrary time, it's equally rude to mandate a meeting or other function a person has to show up to that has nothing do with their job. I've been in the workforce nearly 20 years now, and frankly the number of meetings, events or functions I've been expected to go to that served no purpose other than to waste my damn time is way too high. The meeting could have been an email, the training might as well have been a check box, and if the party/event was so damn important why wasn't I paid to attend?
TL;DR unless a person being late directly affects another person, then who cares? I'll start caring about what a corporation thinks is rude when said corporations start giving a damn about my time and compensating properly for wasting it.
Yes. Both of these things can be true....
