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.

Therapy would be great... if I had money.
$10,000 would change my life entirely
The only and one time i had 4 digits in my bank account was after the covid stimulus checks.
It is until it’s gone, I live in a vhcol area and have 100k in savings, that literally a lost job and a medical emergency away from being gone. It’s all relative
Check your local social services department, you might have a mental health provider in your area that's government funded. You likely won't see a therapist right away, or often, when you begin the process, but it's better than nothing at all.
Wow I got three therapy appointments. I learned so much about mindfulness and CBT.
And it was years before I dated a trans woman again, so I couldn't even use the CBT.
Don't do it. They don't care. My sister in law has a masters in this stupid field and was working doing these therapies, and I can assure you she herself is a total nutcase
My therapists helped me put my life back together after over a decade of spinning my wheels and struggling with PTSD. Sorry about your sister, and it's not like I haven't also seen shitty therapists, but that's definitely not everyone and I think it's a bad idea to discourage anyone from reaching out for help. People should leave therapists they don't click with even if they're not bad per se, because if you don't like them or they don't respect you then nothing productive is going to happen.
Just because you know one shitty therapist doesn't mean that there aren't excellent therapists out there.
