I think many people would like employers to stop wasting money (on stuff like amenities and activities that were not requested). Instead, make the job more attractive by listening and responding to actual concerns (like WFH, hours, wages).

Maybe. Maybe I’m a bit spoiled in the software field, but I feel like they’ve done pretty well:

  • 2 days/week in office
  • flexible with appts and outside commitments
  • pay reasonably
  • free coffee and tea
  • free breakfast and lunch
  • gym downstairs (extra cost)
  • free EV charging

Aside from just plain not wanting to go in, that pretty well covers any specifics I might complain about

Fwiw I think that the people you’re discussing this with haven’t had the same experience in the workforce that you have had.

How about just wanting to go outside for a few minutes and see real sunlight?

We do have a pretty good deck and they let groups sign up for the grills, or it’s a nice walk around the complex

Work Reform

!workreform@lemmy.world

Create post

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.
