Nemo , to Work Reform in Why The Government Has Infinite Money

Which is bad if you have a lot of money, but not so bad if you have a lot of debt and can still sell your labor and its produce.

Nemo , to Work Reform in Strikes against automakers spread to 38 locations in 20 states, Stellantis and GM are targeted

She means, people are expecting this strike to impact the availability of new cars, which is making used ones more valuable.

Nemo , to Work Reform in Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem

I’ve been lucky enough to have one job that did pay for transit. Specifically, they would pay for a weekly bus pass for any employer that wanted one, plus monthly bikeshare membership for any employee that wanted that. It was solid.

Nemo , to Work Reform in Tim Gurner apologises over call for more unemployment to fix worker attitudes

And that’s the real problem. Not productivity itself, but monetization.

more time to care for one another, focus on food production, distribution, healthcare, and education, things that involve taking care of other humans.

These are productive pursuits.

Nemo , to Work Reform in Bernie Sanders Champions 32-Hour Work Week With No Loss in Pay

My job, I notice I’m often somewhat off-flow after a vacation or an unexpected day off. But I also drop off significantly after six hours. RN I do work 32 hrs: 3x 6-hr days and 2x 7-hour days, more or less.

Ugh. I once did some independent programming and the guy insisted I do it in front of him because it involved his proprietary data. So much griping about the time I spent looking at documentation or referring to coding assistance sites like Stack Overflow. I quit on day two.

Abstention. Voting the lesser evil is a downward spiral.

Would this include a 25% increase to hourly minimums? Because otherwise it only benefits salaried employees.

And what about workers who are paid by productivity and not time? Salespersons on commission, servers receiving tips, ride-share drivers?

I’m all for a 32-hour work-week; that’s what I have myself. But let’s not pretend this would be enough, or that the main beneficiaries are he working class.

Nemo , to Work Reform in Forget ‘quiet quitting’ — ‘loud laborers’ are killing workplace morale. Here’s how to spot them

Uhh, what? “Shut up and work, minion”? Didn’t expect to see this on a work reform community. Hell yeah I’m going to continue to demand recognition for my contributions. Staying quiet is how you get taken advantage of.

some people are motivated by external rewards and recognition rather than the inherent satisfaction of the work itself.

Damn straight I expect to get acknowledged and paid. I like working, but putting food on the table, today AND tomorrow, comes first.

What a load of management-apologist, productivity-first drivel.

Nemo , to Work Reform in Got tipping rage? This barista reveals what it's like to be behind the tip screen

Having read the article, no, he isn’t. He’s saying that a tip interface is a sign that the employee is being underpaid, but multiple interviewees (the barista and the economist) note that tipping is an incentive that doesn’t fix the underpayment issue.

Servers don’t typically blame the guests or have an adversarial attitude towards them. The ones that do don’t last. The bulk of any adversarial attitude, at every place I’ve worked in the two decades I’ve been waiting tables, is directed at management. Tables sometimes stiff us, but mgmt are the ones out here setting shitty schedules and commiting wage theft.

Nemo , to Work Reform in Got tipping rage? This barista reveals what it's like to be behind the tip screen

A cogent point, but nobody is saying tipping is, or should be, a solution to low wages. Tipping in the restaurant industry is an evolved, organic things that fills a specific niche. I don’t think copy-pasting that onto other industries will help workers there; but I also don’t think copy-pasting the compensation system of other industries onto restaurants will help servers. I think it can only hurt us.

If they raised the prices 20%, most of that’s not going to the workers. You know it and I know it.

Except the rate IS set. Almost everyone knows what the going tip percentage is. I can manage my income just fine on this expectation, and consumers can manage their costs. The lack of a fee schedule and enforcement mechanism don’t change the mechanics of the interaction.
