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.

That employee needs to get over her simping mentality and sue for the gender discrimination Bungie is blatantly guilty of. I don't give a shit if they happened to be doing a mass layoff at the same time; you don't get rid of somebody right before their already-scheduled maternity leave!
Seriously? It happened to someone I used to work with (last November). Except they laid her off while she was on maternity leave.
Your former coworker should sue, too.
My wife was at home for 3 months before the birth of our child and 2 years afterward. I always considered that not enough.
I can't imagine living in a country where you could be laid off before or even worse during your maternity leave.
honestly it is also hard for me to imagine living in the country i live in
