Why do corporations get a bailout?
Hello y’all. I am a W-2 delivery driver in California, and my shift played out in a way today where a 30 minute break didn’t make sense for being able to return to my depot and deliver a last batch of orders before our online menu cutoff. I asked my supervisor how they wanted to play the situation, ie whether I should simply return to the depot and end my shift early. They recommended to return and that they’d waive my meal break. My understanding of California labor law is that if I work past five hours without an unpaid 30 minute break, my employer owes me one hour of compensation. So I was cool with working sans break. When I returned to my depot, my supervisor presented me with a meal waiver form, in which I would acknowledge that I am entitled to a 30 minute unpaid break after…
Just wondering for those in HR if they've actually experienced hiring trends that take those factors into account.

When you fuck with Dutch labor laws
This might be an old post but: https://youtu.be/gKyGw5Eaku4 American company opens an office in The Netherlands and hires Dutch employees. They fired an employee wrongfully and got their asses handed to them by the Dutch courts.
My boyfriend went to work on Thursday. He told me that his coworker came into work and looked and sounded terrible. He and his other coworkers asked if she was sick and she said “Yes. But I’m broke and I can’t afford to miss a day” they asked her to put a mask on and she refused. He came home not feeling good and he tested positive for Covid. Now my baby is sick and has a 101 temperature. I’m so upset that this piece of shit woman has no regard for her coworkers or their families. Not even all the customers that she served (they work in a dispensary). He texted his boss and told him what she said and that our daughter is in the emergency room and this is his reply. There were other coworkers there who heard what she said and have reached out to me…
The agency has gone ghost on the employees and has not return any calls, text or email about there missing paychecks. Does anyone have any suggestions on how they can resolve this..
