Seeing this post made me flash back to how often wage theft happened to me during holidays as a teenager.
4th of July, New Year's... Didn't even know about time and a half.

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Tina and a half? Do people not proof read?
Oh it's meant to be "time and a half". Took me a while!
At first I thought they were making a sly joke by using the actual employee's name.
I thought it was a bob’s burgers reference I didn’t get cause I don’t watch it.
There Is No Alternative. Tina.
Speaking of people who get exploited for inadequate pay ...
This is what I was picturing the whole time
I have a special love for that episode where they’re made to clean the beach, and Louise learns about negotiating compensation for their labor. (And that rich people will use you and fuck you over in a heartbeat.)
For anyone unfamiliar, it’s Season 12, episode 6. “Beach, Please.”
Conversely, I despise the film which tells the moral tale of “if you’re rich enough you can murder people and get away with it.”
Mistypes drive engagement.
The shit that is done nowadays to farm engagement is ridiculous.
It pisses me off so much when Farcebook puts one of those rage-bait stories in my feed that I feel compelled to respond to, but I don't want to go off half cocked, so I take a minute to Google it, or maybe just grab an image to make a witty response, and as soon as I click back on the tab, it refreshes and the post is gone, never to be seen again...

Unfortunately.
*unfertunately
No, this is correct. They get paid in methamphetamines
Hopefully its the blue stuff, heard that is da bomb
No. “I have to be first to post this and get internet points!”
For making posts here? I sure hope not. Much funnier to see the typos.
