I’m not like a super political person, and from my understanding its the idea that if I make a $10 thing for the bossman, but only get $1 that is wage theft?
But like, when I took the job I knew how much I was going to make?
Or is it like, people are literally not getting their paychecks?
I’m slightly inebreated, lazy, and don’t want my algorithms to start becoming politically charged from googling and youtubing this. I’m already collapse aware and my mental health is ultra fragile.
Help me Lemmy wan kenobi, you’re my only hope.
A variant of this is time clocks that round your clock in and out, but not just to the nearest 15 min: clock in is rounded forward, while clock out is rounded backwards.
So 9:01-4:59 would end up paying you for 9:15-4:45. 28min stolen. At 15$/hr thats over $1800 per year.
I’ve had this happen in a job. People would just aticipate it. They would be like “oh shit, it’s 9:01. I’ll be taking a shit first” or they’d smoke or drink coffee or whatever before clocking out. It was a mutual destruction kind of thing. You fuck me, i fuck you.
