I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that this obviously made up thing never happened.
I mean, the fact is thousands of U.S. companies illegally underpay their workers, and the Labor Department rarely punishes them, (arc'd), so it's a pretty believable bit
Yeah the wage theft is believable it's the pretending not to understand what 10% means that marks it as clearly made up.
Could be real.
I had an employer give a 3% raise one year. But it was only .75% per quarter, which they did not disclose during the announcement.
So by the end of the year, you did technically get the whole 3% so they didn't actually lie about it.
Didn't help that cost of living had gone up by 8-12% at the time. So even a 3% raise that we were promised was a pay cut when you look at the entire picture.
I don't think it could. Anyone who knows that 10% = 0.1 can tell that 0.03 is clearly not 10% of 26.
?? It obviously happened, it says right there. To "this girl." /s
Wage theft is a real problem but these unconfirmable ragebait images are useless and anyone sharing them should be ashamed. Leave that shit on TikTok. Cite your sources, a meme isn't evidence.
