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.

    Correct. This is very situational also. I’m salary, my boss is great, if I have to do work on the weekend, like a site visit, he usually venmos me $2-300 on the spot. If he asks me to do something outside normal hours, or maybe even outside our work scope, 99% of the time it’s a yes. We’re a pretty solid group, we scratch each other’s backs for the sake of the clients in most cases. It all evens out in the end.
