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.

    It’s more complex for salary jobs and why sometimes it’s worse to go salary if you’re hourly. Some salaried positions are exempt from receiving overtime, some aren’t.
