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:
Our Goals
I’m still waiting for self checkout, airport self service check-in, automated answer services for credit cards, and computerized healthcare systems to make food, airplane tickets, consumer goods, and healthcare less expensive.
And I feel like I’ve been waiting a while…
We used to dream that AI would do all the boring stuff so we could pursue our artistic endeavors.
Turns out it's the opposite lol. There will be no days off for us.
Pfff that's coward numbers. I'll do you one better:
We should get a 3-day work week.
They will just lay people off and have less people
But think of the productivity if we had AI and a 7 day workweek! /s
They have AI, we have the "right to work"... for minimum wage 😞
I think the plan is that a lot of people get a 0 day work week. That's one of the problems.
Meanwhile, in Germany: There are a lot of unemployed people, and there are a lot of people who want a four-day week, so what we desperately need is working longer hours.
2 day work week. Standard hours for a work week are just like the minimum wage. They've been stagnant for decades and haven't adjusted according to company profits and worker productivity increases.
2 days. Why would you ask for 4? That puts you in a shitty bargaining position.
Yeah, I just graced with a glorious 0-day work week. There is no chance ANY of this “productivity” will get anywhere near workers. It’s just a new, exciting way to centralize wealth and power. And if the models get as “intelligent” as the claim they will in 5 years, then with a helping of slavery to boot, ones they are “as smart or smarter” than humans, just without pesky things like rights…
