    Oh wow! This actually likely explains why Microsoft was not doing well during the early 2000’s. Their employees weren’t trying to be creative or innovative, they were just trying to keep their jobs.

    Interesting topic, but the article’s writing style is god-awful and a bit hard to get through.

        I had a prof in college that graded like this (in an intro level geology class lol) and it made the atmosphere brutal. I don’t remember the exactly distribution but top x% got As bottom x% got Fs.

          Waterfall grading curves are the dumbest of ideas, especially for an entry level course.

            Yeah, I’ve done a lot more school since and never seen it in another course. Shitty person I suppose.

            That works for some reason, thank you. Not sure linking was the issue, just that the website does a redirect after a while for whatever reason.

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.
