The grammar

MASS MESSAGE: I'm not sure if everyone is getting their schedule through the app (new employees) but I need you to let me know asap so we can fix it!! We have a lot of call outs and no call no shows and tardiness. This will not be tolerated!! As the effects of theses actions is hurting the store and our guess!!

I worked for a company that was consistently late on payroll (1 month+) and have recently learned they received 2 PPP loa

I’m furious. In August 2021 I was fired because I refused to work without pay. My boss was late by 2-3 pay periods before finally covering my check over a month later. I opened a case with the NJDOL and after a year they gave up because he kept ignoring subpoenas to provide his payroll records. I got a letter saying if I wish to pursue it could take years and I’d have to appear in front of a judge. Honestly the guy was such a dick in general that I never want to be in the same room with him again. I’m going to submit a tip to the fraud line on Monday. It sucks because this ruined me financially and even though I’m nearly 2 years removed, I can’t shake the feeling he needs to face justice and made an example of. What’s more is that he filed…

Real Reason for Tech Layoffs

https://news.crunchbase.com/startups/tech-layoffs/ I just want to let everyone know the real reason for these massive tech industry layoffs and what to do about it. The pandemic drove wages way up as companies scrambled to hire to meet demand. Now, those wages need a reset. So, since companies always need to be “competitive” in the market, the only way to drive wages down is a massive layoff. Now, the market is flooded with highly qualified, skilled employees that will take just about anything in order to be employed. Companies will capitalize on this “disaster” of their combined creation, and “hire back” these workers at much lower wages, and then begin the slow increase for cost of living etc. This drives wages down across the market, and begins the “commoditization” of the skilled IT labor market. This is what this is all about.

fired at 14

Backround: About a year and a half ago, I somehow managed to snag a job at 14, washing dishes for a popular Italian restaurant. I worked for around 3 ½ – 4 months, working Wednesdays and Fridays from 4 to 9 every week. I was paid $12 an hour and was respected by my fellow Co workers for working hard and not skipping days. One week, I asked if I could get a day off to hang out with friends on their birthday, as it fell on a Friday. Next weeks schedule I worked 3 days a week instead of two, which I thought was fair at the time, and worked through it. The next week however, I was put on the schedule for 3 days again and flipped the hell out. Every small break I got, I ranted in the employee group chat about everything and complained about the…
