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.

"We had to rehire our talented employees to continue making good games" would seemingly make the point very strongly that the workers bring value, not the owner?
They don't make the games though.
Fair point, but it's kicking the can down the road. Insert "...to continue publishing good games," "...to continue doing good work," "...to continue functioning" instead and the argument still works. But you're right, they're a publisher, not a developer, that's my mistake.
If the workers don't make the games, who do you think does?
The workers at the game studios that Annapurna works with, seeing as how they are a publisher not a developer.
To be fair - the best publishers I've worked with have actively worked to make sure resourcing that's needed is allocated even if it's been beyond our means.
They're a publisher, not a developer. Publishers don't make games. They sell them.
