Good afternoon, I work for a major fast food company and wanted to share my story. I have worked for this company for about 3 years and worked at one point 112 days straight (this year) I have had several issues where overtime pay (80+ hours of ALL overtime) were not issued about 4 times in the past 12 months some taking up to a week to pay out. Also took 2 weeks to pay out my covid catastrophic pay from last year causing me to incur 5-6 overdraft fees. In addition I checked my last paycheck and I am making less now (about .40c/hr) than when i started the company 3 years ago. is this legal for them to change my pay that drastically without telling me or any disciplinary action? thank you for your time and help I am new here and very much appreciate it

Are trades jobs paying less now?
I posted to facepalm about an invoice I received for HVAC work I had done where over 1/3 of the bill was the option to tip. I'd never seen this before so I was surprised because seeing something like that on a bill for this sort of work is new to me. I was generally looked at as the a-hole in this situation, but since I received it, it's been making me think a lot. Are trades jobs paying so little now that they don't receive a living wage anymore? Is this our future where the consumer is required to make sure everybody else is compensated fairly? I live on the border of Mexico, so there's big business in this line of work, and also the possibility of exploitation. What are your thoughts on tipping now being included on trade jobs? The billing software this company chose to use is…
