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.

A lot of creative jobs are like this. Game development is incredibly predatory. Noodle has a fantastic video.

I always upvote Noodle. This specific video led me to leave my workplace abuse as a dev, and just about just about everyone else I worked with left as well once they saw people leaving. We're all much happier for it. I wish we had a union, because I loved those people and wanted to work with them forever, but we all had to move on.

Agreed. I think he got kinda uppity about people putting animations through AI that increased the frame rate, but other than that he’s chill, and one of the less cringe tubers.
