Company: You need to have everything ready before the start of your shift.
Me: Do I get paid for coming in early?
Company: No
Me: Okay, if I'm starting before my shift time then I am going home early to make up for the lost time.
Company: If you leave 1 minute early we have to deduct an hour from your wages
Me: leaves
Company: nobody wants to work anymore.
Companies have normalised wage theft but call it what it is. It's theft.
Some years ago, employees sued Amazon because the company had a lengthy security scan when people left, to prevent theft. Apparently it could take half an hour to go through, and they argued that this was unpaid overtime.
They lost, which seems like bullshit: as far as I can tell, the sane way to look at it is, if you're obligated to do what the company tells you and go where the company says, then you're on the job and should be paid for it. Once you're out the door, you can choose whether you want to go home or go to a bar or just sit on the sidewalk; you're not on the clock and you're not getting paid.
If the company wants you to work 8 hours in the warehouse, then spend half an hour in the security scan, then you're doing company business for 8.5 hours.
Agreed. That's ridiculous that they lost.
This is not even a shit post. You can put this in YSK (You Should Know) community and it will still be appropriate.
Unless you define fun as eating the rich we need to come to an agreement on terms
By largest you mean "most common"?
Wage theft is the most common form of theft.
Which is kind of crazy and really messed up.
We should do something about it!
I believe it's also largest in dollar amount by a long shot.

Just a quick search found something from 2018 so don't crucify me if it's not accurate anymore lol
Oh good point I didn't think of that!
So it's both the most common and the most costly theft, and we are all the victims.
Yay.
I mean, it does depend on whether you count white-collar crime Bernie Madoff and Sam Bankman-Fried style as theft (the statistic provided does not).
If you did, it would dwarf the wage theft, but it would also put what usually gets prosecuted as "theft" into jaw-dropping perspective, making it look like the drop in the ocean, it is.
I appreciate the sentiment's but dislike it's inappropriate placement of apostrohe's
I like my saying of if you give a cop $100 it's a bribe, if you give all the cops $100 you're a donor
Executives are parasites.
Just left my job and this one one of the many reasons.
what if you're just stealing burgers?
A man’s gotta eat.
This isn't a shitpost, post this elsewhere.
I'm pretty sure some or all of the Toys R Us employee pension was plundered in the reorg after private equity bought the company out in2018. I remember reading about it thinking it sort of made sense technically but it was pretty egregious on a human level. This post is too true. Similar to the old Stalin gem about how killing one is a tragedy but a million is a statistic. If you're gonna do something bad do it BIG.
