I LOVE YOU PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME
I LOVE YOU PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME
Many of these answers are great, thank you for being graet, lemmy is great.
This is a much more legalese take, I feel like some folks would disagree in terms of the spirit of wage theft vs the letter of the concept. I like it though, I appreciate it, I appreciate you.
I’ll buy 3 more, thanks for the advice
Interesting, interesting, I appreciate the perspective that wage theft can be committed by employees, although I’d be comfortable committing wage theft against my company, if I was paid hourly, they fucking suck.
Wouldn’t the exemption be considered wage theft though? What makes this scenario more complex?
Well my night is ruined
Based on all the replies it really juist seems like this system is fucking shit at giving people a resource to live their damn lives.
That is wild, so many salary jobs act like you should work more than 40 hours. I even had a manager that said upper level employees should be willing to work more than 40 hours per week. What a cock wart.
I really like your response, you seem like a kind warmhearted person, I wish you the best,
The thing I’m now realizing is that I too have been a victim of wage theft, but didn’t suspect anything under the guise of “the system is good numbers always go up YEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW”
Cheers to my sinking mental health yet again, I think I’ll name her the titanic fucking capitalist icebergs everywhere.
Whoever explained this to me originally reallllllllly sucked at it
You explain it so simply, and yet I was so confused before hand, thank you so much, why is life so hard?
Follow up question, could the same metrics be captured without a network connection? An alternative might not be as user friendly as an IoT device, but for the last what decade? It seems like investment in IoT is investment in security vulnerabilities.
I’m a software developer and many job postings for my skill sets are getting 500+ applicants, so my strategy was to try to network on the platform. The whole experience was demoralizing, sure other job boards might have the same number of applicants, but I really feel like the easy apply button just creates more competition. My inbox is always open for recruiters though, that is the only positive for me.
LinkedIn is an aggregation of everything wrong with social media. I got laid off and tried to use it to find a job, never again.
I think the replies to this post really captures Lemmy’s energy and I love it.
Sorry that you’re getting down voted for facts
Thank you for dropping some savory knowledge!
A number of homeless are indeed are victims of our terrible socio-economic system. However I have heard many homeless outreach workers say the same thing “The ones who stay homeless are the ones who stay addicted”. Addiction is a serious issue and the challenge of beating it is nothing we should dismiss, however it is clear some people end up homeless due to drugs and stay homeless due to a refusal to get clean. When your life is centered around just getting high, you won’t care much about anything else. All the horrors of living on the street disappear once you get your fix, and some people are okay living like that.
I guess I’m writing all this to say that homelessness is a very complex and nuanced issue. They aren’t all victims, they aren’t all criminals, they aren’t all mentally ill, they aren’t all addicts, and for some its the only life they’ve ever known.
This is why the conversation around homelessness is so difficult. People just latch onto their idea of what being homeless is then build their argument from there, dismissing the remaining context of the concept.
I highly suggest doing homeless outreach to broaden your perspective on the matter (look up a local Food Not Bombs group if you live in a city!). If that isn’t something you’d like to do, there are plenty of videos on youtube that give you more insight into the homelessness experience. Obviously watch out for the videos that treat living on the streets as a spectacle or oddity, I absolutely hate these videos because they serve to shock and entertain, not educate.
