    Turn out the freeloaders were the managers who were so disconnected from their teams, they needed techno-opression.

    Brink of frustration = the system they implemented generated enough frustration that an article was written about it.

    Most are required to log at least eight hours a day, five days a week, on-site.

    At least 8 hours a day? At least? Let me guess, United States of America?

    This is what business has been in america this millenia. Its the engineering bridge building competition where once you bridge can hold the weight you peel of the structure bit by bit because you don’t win unless it collapses but just barely.

      Then you put cameras and sensors on what’s left and watch for it to break before doing anything.

    That’s a creative use of the word “brink”.

    I’d buy me a pitchfork if I was in this situation lol. Or just quit.

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.
