Not on my watch

Always good to put your plans to commit wage theft in writing.

It's insulting enough to get paid the bare minimum for a job that demands most of your time. But a company that literally steals wages from their employees ? That's just vile.

That money has to come from somewhere. Redditor u/ClubWag recently shared their infuriating tale of working for a lying, gaslighting boss who broke promises and cheated employees out of official pol…

Worst boss ever.

Over the weekend, travel blogger @OneMileataTime posed an interesting question on Twitter: “Should flight attendants be paid during boarding?” The implications of such a question sparked debates all over Twitter and Reddit. Many were dumbfounded by the fact that only paying flight attendants for the time they spend in the air is common practice in the United States.

This is just plain wrong.
