Antiwork

I am a construction worker who recently switched jobs. Part of the reason is because my new employer focuses on a lot of “public projects”. My former wage, doing the same kind of work was far less than my new wage ($92/hour). I about crapped my pants when I figured out how much more I could make. This new company works on ‘public’ construction projects like roads and government buildings. All of this Public work is covered under this federal construction minimum wage law (which supersedes regular minimum wage law) called Davis Bacon although it only applies when the Federal Govt is paying for all or some of the project. Anyways all employers have to pay there workers these ‘construction minimum wages’ on these government projects. Don’t get screwed over.

I am a photographer in A major US city. I work for a major e-commerce fashion brand. I am on salary. For the past 8 months, my direct manager has allowed me to leave early once I finish the shot list for the day. Their boss has recently come back from pregnancy leave, and has decided this is unacceptable. (She works from home lol, and we are in the office 5 days a week lol). She has literally told us she won’t increase the work we are doing, and there isn’t any busy work for us to do, but we must be there until 5. This means I take a 1 hour lunch, on top of another 30 minute break, and literally just sit around and fuck off ready to pull my hair out. Is this legal? If I’m on salary, can I leave when the job is done, legally,…
