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.

Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy? (lemmy.world)

Earlier in the pandemic many news and magazine organizations would proudly write about how working from home always actually can lead to over working and being too "productive". I am yet to collect some evidence on it but I think we remember a good amount about this.

Now after a bunch of companies want their remote workers back at the office, every one of those companies are being almost propaganda machines which do not cite sound scientific studies but cite each other and interviews with higher ups in top companies that "remote workers are less productive". This is further cementing the general public's opinion on this matter.

And research that shows the opposite is buried deep within any search results.

Have you noticed this? Please share what you have observed. I'm going paranoid about this.

I don't have a problem finding dates. I don't want to date. Men aren't worth the cost, in my experience. But nice attempt, trying to attack me personally to cover up your misogyny and the misogyny of the "experts"" you quote. Such a "surprising" tactic. Too bad for you that I'm quite comfortable in my choice to live relatively male-free.

Tacking the words "expert" and "study" onto misogynistic propaganda doesn't make it scientifically rigorous. And even though there is still truth in women making less in general, that's changing. Women need men less and less every year. Thankfully.

You funny.

If you look up the actual article you'll see it went as I wrote. In that particular case, the wife was earning less, so it made sense for her to give up her job.

Anything you've added is on you.

If you're not dating because 'men aren't worth it' that says more about you than it does about the men.
