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.

I've burned out twice in my life. You'll know it when it happens. It isn't just being tired. It's stopping caring what happens if you just quit on everything because you simply don't care anymore.

The trick is to learn how to do less at your job without getting fired. Learn how to cut corners. Care less about your job without losing your job. If your job can't provide you with a reasonable work environment and is affecting your physical and mental health, then you shouldn't feel guilty cutting corners to maintain that health.

I’m so relieved that my former company went through downsizing before the market crashed. I have a friend who is recently unemployed and looking for work and another who wants to switch companies to escape and I thought of them through the entire article.

Not surprisingly I learned nothing from the article. They said that when people burn out they might apply for jobs elsewhere, so make your company look good. If anyone else caught anything significant, feel free to chime in.

Maybe mandatory return to office mandates is the solution to this... /s

Lack of engagement?

Stop "leaning" out the workforce. Stop begging for overtime after you do.
