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.

All 3 companies he has “founded” are only 7 months old. Prior to that he has been mostly a scrum master and business analyst. He has no people management experience, no experience in establishing and executing strategies, and this post illustrates all of these short comings.
What is a scrum master? Like a rugby coach?
As others have replied yes the term was inspired by the rugby term but unlike a rugby coach who sets the teams strategy and game tactics, the scrum master in agile methodology is a tactical role that is focused on ensuring the team are observing agile ceremonies, sticking to their sprint commitments etc. What the team are doing and why is the responsibility of other roles like Product Managers who may also have Product Owners working closely with the teams whose responsibility is to have a prioritised backlog of items for the team to use as input to plan upcoming work. Usually there are higher level roles that set business level / market level strategy that gives guidance to Product Managers on where products should be focusing to meet specific business goals.
Eh. It's very much a case by case. It's like having an assistant manager. Some of them you wonder what they even do, other ones you think the place would likely fall apart and burst into flames without them.
