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.

I'm in the office by myself most days. There's no one over my shoulder. It's just something about being in a different environment. It doesn't occur to me to go on the internet to start doom scrolling or researching stuff for personal projects. I do admit it's a discipline issue but nothing I've tried to overcome it has worked. I'm open to suggestions.
The problem is with my job there isn't a lot of "getting the job done" I'm the middle man on a lot of different things so there's a lot of just sending emails to different people to gather information or get something I can't do myself done. I'm pretty good about getting actionable things taken care of right away but all the setting up meetings and replying to emails stuff is tedious as hell and I find it really hard to focus on when I'm at home.
Yes, That's why I go into the office to work.
