@trebach @stux
> they'll design schedulesYes! Many years ago when that number was 40 instead of 30, I was regularly scheduled for 39.5 hours, while making a whole 15 cents more than minimum wage ($3.35 at the time), just so they didn’t have to consider me full time.
Employers have been gaming the system forever because too many of them are absolute bastards.
@pomegranate_stew @trebach @stux and that’s not even mentioning tipped employees. If you SHOULD receive over $30 a month in tips they can pay you $2.13 per hour. Why even have a number? It’s so paltry it doesn’t cover the taxes on what customers felt sorry enough to leave you.

@passwordsarehard4 @pomegranate_stew @stux The sum of that $2.13 per hour and your tips are required to add up to greater then minimum wage or your employer is required to make up the difference.
Usually it does. If it doesn't and you bring that law up for them to compensate you, they tend to sack you for being shit at your job

@stux Since Vought told the GOP in 2010 not to elect leaders (the quote and source are out there will add if requested), the toddlers are all there in congress following in the footsteps of their higher-up toddlers.

@stux In addition to being blatant insider trading, it's also a glaring conflict of interest with their congressional duties. -
