Hi everyone! I have a friend that works at Boston Market in Columbus and they aren’t paying their employees. They’re super worried and upset about this so I thought I would see if anyone has heard anything or works there too. Payday was Friday and it was missed. Everyone worked the weekend without pay. They called the labor board and filed a report. They also said they aren’t paying their main vendor and have had to close bc they were out chicken. Any help or advice much appreciated. Attached is an email they received Friday evening.

Is calling them what they are so incendiary that the media have to come up with this idiotic euphemism?

Not sure if this is the best sub to post this on but…. I work in a sales manager role and was told at the beginning of this month if I hit a certain number that I would receive a promotion (10k raise, title change etc.) I hit the exact numbers that were outlined to me and today my boss said 'great I'll put in for the promotion to take effect in February'. Afterwards, she video called me and said my promotion was denied based off additional criteria her boss was looking for. Not once during the month was this criteria ever brought to my attention. Unfortunately I do not have the original criteria in writing, but, do i have ANY recourse??

I've applied to 100+ jobs since the end of November. Most of the don't respond at all and others will send rejection emails with no explanation or information. The last straw was today when I called a job that I interviewed for last Wednesday to ask about the status of my application, as I was told I would get a response by Friday. The person I needed to talk to was “busy” and would “call me back later” (an excuse I've heard before from jobs that never contacted me again). 6 hours later and closer to their closing, still no call back. So I call again, the person is still “unavailable”. I ask plainly for transparency about the situation and they say “sorry, they are just not available”. I sent an email and am waiting for a response. These people are playing with others' lives. I literally cannot afford food…
