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.

I think it's a combination of both.
I do see a lot of articles targeted at ceo's on LinkedIn by real estate/office. So there is definitely a degree to it.
Micromanagement is also a factor here however a company can also install monitoring software on your laptop by company policy like mine did.
Yeah France did great there, saldy no such luck in the UK and low union membership in tech
They probably have some tax breaks specifically around buildings and people in them
Tax breaks? Most companies are paying leases on their office space, minus the ones big enough to build their own campuses.
I didn't think about the "ambassador" angle. It probably is harder to get employees to drink the company koolaid when they're not physically in the office.
