Baristas of the world unite!
There is currently an act in congress that would change the Fair Labor Standards Act so instead of forcing overtime pay after 40 hours, it forces overtime pay after 32 hours. This wouldn't completely remove the 40 hour work week overnight but it is certainly a great place to start. If nothing else it will at least start moving the cultural norms in that direction even if employers initially try to find ways around it. I'm surprised I don't see a post about this act everyday. I realize that this sub was originally created for the advocation of abolishing work but there is a large portion of the population currently advocating for workers rights and this is right up their alley! Edit: I cannot keep replying to all post so here are some common ones: Q: Wont companies just make everyone salaried? A: If they do, it would force them…
I have no clue where to start with this idea literally. How do I start the business? In New York ,legally the best way to protect myself and then the creators from lawsuits. LLC?

Just that those cafés hire more people per sold cups of coffee, demand lower prices, and, most importantly, pay much, much more taxes. Mainly because they lack the complex infrastructure including shell- and mailbox companies in Luxembourg, Ireland, Netherlands, Panama and the like, and at the most part the sheer criminal energy. Getting rid of Starbucks means more and better jobs for the people, and more taxes for the state. Both not really what we wish for Russia right now. The same is valid for Amazon and the smaller online traders and retail shops they put out of business. Not only do…
Hi there fellas. I'm from France, and I simply wanted to verify something with you guys when it comes to background checks: In France, whenever someone wants to hire you or promote you to a very important job (VP sales, partner, director…) if someone wants to do a background check on your previous employment and degrees, they can: -call every single employer you had and ask about you and verify you were here, and the job you performed -check if your degrees (bachelor's degree, master's degree, PHD…) are real by asking for copies, calling the corresponding universities / business schools, checking online websites of the aforementioned establishments and so on. -Sometimes, if the company that wants to recruit you is very thorough (like a consulting firm) OR if a company you worked for shut down (often happens years after you leave a place), they'll ask you to provide them with…
