I totally agree. There’s no reason anyone needs to consistently purchase breakfast and lunch if they work in an office.

If you don’t do it at home, why would you do it at the office?

You can make food at home as a part of your lunch break. If you make food and bring it in, you need to spend extra non paid time to do that.

That’s fair to say for lunch. Not for breakfast though, unless one makes the argument there should also be a breakfast break.

Regardless, with the existing status quo it’s not a good financial decision to eat out for breakfast and lunch everyday.

The status quo shouldn’t mean that you are forced to spend time outside of work time preparing for work time. Unless they want to pay for that time, or your lunch.

Because I don’t have a commute at home so there’s time to make breakfast and lunch.

Work pays well enough for meals, then it’s a non-issue.

Work Reform

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.
