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.
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?
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.
I’m so jealous I want to cry, I fucking love birds.
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.
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?
Wow, I’m so sorry for what you’re going through, yeah we’re pretty similar, when the industry was doing ok I’d be drowning in interviews, now it feels like I’m not even being seen. It is rather weird. I’m hoping for the best for you and your family!
Oddly enough I had more recruiters talk to me about Kotlin recently than Java, are there any certs you would recommend, if they even exist?
I’ll definitely keep this in my back pocket, I live in a hot area so I’m sure I could find an HVAC job, thanks for the input
Thank you for taking the time to write all of this, I definitely needed such a perspective.
Thank you for the insight!
No I don’t want to be in management. I just enjoy talking to people and making genuine connections instead lip service fueled networking. This isn’t a self assessment either, its something I’ve been told enough to believe it.
Interesting, I’ll definitely keep this in mind thank you!
This is wonderful, thank you for sharing it!
How is contracting nowadays? You’ve definitely got a point here.
Is the C# industry in a better state than Java?
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.
