    I genuinely thought you must have editorialized the title, but nope, this guy is just that much of a fuckhead, he’s actually proud of what he’s done.

    His smug attitude about how nobody will leave over this really bothers me, because I’m pretty sure he’s probably right. So many people would rather keep on working for the devil they know than risk trying out a new job. The lack of a social safety net is the best thing going for small business tyrants.

      I just switched from a contract job to an actual employed position after a year of my boss trying to get cheap labor out of a fresh college grad and not knowing what he’s talking about. Ive had like $200 in my account for like 2 weeks now waiting for my first paycheck, I’d be screwed if my gf wasn’t helping me in the meantime

      I had a job where my boss literally stopped paying us for a month because he couldn’t afford it and I was the only one who quit after 1 missed paycheck. I called to get some tax stuff from them and literally everyone who was there is still working there. People need to be educated on their worth and rights.
