  • Its up to the employee to ensure they do not get away with it.

    This is literally victim blaming.

    No its not. Crime is not magically detected by the all seeing eye. If someone commits a crime against you then its in your best interest to report it because it sure wont be the criminal who is reporting it.

    it is that they will take advantage of the convoluted system in order to exploit the vulnerable and desperate workers they are responsible for.

    Even if this is what I said (which it isnt) that still doesnt give a reason why employees shouldnt seek legal recourse and it just proves what I am saying even more. IF employers were so confortable explotiing this system then the only reason that would be is because they dont expect the workers to take any action against them. You’re the only one here saying workers should take no action against their employer who is taking their wages. Actually in one of your comments you said they should “protest until the boss wont do it anymore” which is a terrible suggestion.

    You’re intentionally trolling and im done feeding you.



  • No. I am assuming that the business is committing fraud by misleading their employee into thinking their pay will remain $2 + tips even when their tips are below the min wage or the business is just paying $2 + tips instead of the legal min wage. The only thing being discussed here is the Fair Labor Standards Act. Everything else is random shit you’re making up to muddy the water.

    A general strike would be the best outcome for the business. All they have to do is say "ok things have changed we will pay you what you’re lawfully owed.

    Legal action the business could be fined 10k or more and the employee gets all lost wages + costs.



  • Do you seriously think that I believe that fraud doesnt happen? What would give businesses the impression that they can commit fraud? Oh it would be people not suing the fuck out of them.

    If its a slow day and your employer doesnt pay you the legal min wage then you sue them. Its that simple. You dont turn around and act like getting no tips that day was the reason you made $2.


  • No where did I blame victims. The original post made the claim that a lot of employers will refuse to pay. I said no a lot of employers wont do that because they would get sued out the ass. He said “if they think they can get away with it” which is a redundant statement, no employer who doesnt think they will get away with wage theft is going to still commit it. So then the original argument is still a lot of employers do not commit wage theft because they would get sued if they did. Employees should continue to take legal actions against employers who do not pay.

    To think that employees standing up for their legal rights is victim blaming or licking capitalist boots is braindead.






  • Im new but ive noticed a ton of slop news is spammed by the same handful of accounts only. None of the articles add anything new or provide a unique perspective. Then its spammed over all the news subs. Its annoying but im not a mod what can i do.

    I think that slop news posts are intentionally inflammatory because they add no new information and only seek to evoke an emotional reaction.


  • Gonna go for some controversial ones.

    AI (generative), around chatgpt 2 i was hearing a ton of hype and I thought no way this ever gets good enough to be useful. Now today I can say yeah its there, in my opinion its the best way to search for answers. Google got popular because people could search with human style in puts like “how long do I cook rice for” but now we have AI that eliminates the step of skimming through the results.

    Crypto. The hype was that it would replace currency and while it hasnt done that it does actually provide a replacement for fiat currency. I can send a transaction to an internet friend and maintain all my privacy with no 3rd party being involved its great. Its stable enough to hold and its even been trending up over time. Pretty cool stuff, Monero is my preferred currency but I do use bitcoin for a ton of stuff.
