What always bothered me is that the same guys who’d say I was soft for not being employed at 14 would also refuse to employ me at 14 because they could just hire mexicans instead

They drop you off and assign you an area, then give you a ride home ONLY when you meet your quota or finish your block. Nasty stuff.

Got fired when the company realized they could save money hiring mexis because they could drive. From then on it was always piecemeal shitwork, and I had to tell anyone asking that I was family of the guy paying me.

rein (rein@poa.st)'s status on Monday, 17-Apr-2023 05:37:54 JST rein @deprecated_ii @flappypaddle @caekislove @WashedOutGundamPilot Teens are just worth less money. Why would you hire teens if not to pay them less than adults? They have to handle extra legal liabilities and bureaucracy to hire them, and they're more likely to be less professional and cause trouble.
For 15$ an hour I can't feel bad for them. Adults working at McDonald's here can make as low as 3-4$ depending on how many hours they take, and our rent is higher than a lot of places in the US. -

Then ghost, then get hired again, supposedly. One guy there had done it 3 times already

There's a fucking book (probably a tablet now but whatever) that tells exactly how to do everything and you just do it. That's just wage theft. -
flappypaddle (flappypaddle@hijacked.download)'s status on Monday, 17-Apr-2023 05:40:30 JST flappypaddle Accidentally reloaded the page. You entered a contract upon employment that allows them to recoop "training costs", which generally meant you got less than minimum wage while being trained to do your job. As I recall it allowed for up to 90 days.. so if you were worthless or they just didn't like you, it'd be a simple way to force you out. -
flappypaddle (flappypaddle@hijacked.download)'s status on Monday, 17-Apr-2023 05:40:31 JST flappypaddle I'd have bigger issue overall with the 'You get paid less while training' that McDonalds and other large corporations are allowed to pull. 90 days at a few bucks an hour to eventually get what you were promised is absolute bull. -

They know working for them is necessary for a prospect cook's career, so they'll pay next to nothing to the point where it could be losing them money in gas to commute.
I know the junior staff of one such restaurant quit en masse at some point. -

You can get a job at a warehouse for the same pay, or more, and as long as you are not functionally retarded you won’t get hurt, and you won’t have to deal with random chimpouts (usually).

flappypaddle (flappypaddle@hijacked.download)'s status on Monday, 17-Apr-2023 05:48:24 JST flappypaddle Yeah, and you're just as replaceable at the warehouse as you are doing fast food, but you don't learn how to interact with people on the same social level which preps you for the "all people are scum" truth that you learn when customer-facing.

It was OK. Safe. It was partially still de facto segregated, there were parts you wouldn’t go in but the law still functioned so even if you were dumb there would be consequences for anyone trying something.
None of that’s true anymore, and it’s to the point that people are complaining there are rapists on the loose on nextdoor and they get banned for pointing out the race of the perp unless they, without comment, post a police report that actually states it outright in the description. More and more of these problems leak from a neighboring city that is no longer arresting people unless it’s at least assault.
Maybe you live somewhere where things haven’t gone to Hell but I don’t have the money to move.

That’s why we kept fighting their insistence to put in mass transit in my last place.

Then of course, city council changed hands, the women relented, and suddenly their friends are freaking out because they find random, aggressive nigs in their garage during the day

Wrath (eiswald@poa.st)'s status on Monday, 17-Apr-2023 05:52:34 JST Wrath @WashedOutGundamPilot Child labor laws are pretty fucking retarded. Sure, because we are basically the epicenter of evil in the world there are some cavoites. Policies, limitations. and regulations you would definitely want but the reality is children did just fine in the work force right up until the day it was outlawed. Most family owned businesses piss on the law anyway and let their own children work for them and good on them.
There's nothing 'extreme' about wanting to repeal a law that fucking stupid or 'exploitative' about getting kids and teens ready for real life especially given the consequences and content of the reason they gave for it in the first place which seems to center entirely around 'muh safety' and 'muh education', neither of which they actually get in schools (see child predator/child sexual assault statistics for public schools and we all already know the curriculum is literally fucking worthless in the real world).Woggy's Zeonic Frolicks likes this. -

He fears the employee whose back isn’t against the wall.
With how much all the OTHER labor laws are completely ignored and abused (contractors) it’s very funny how people believe that this ONE area is really seriously paid attention to

Today there's a bunch of nigger families living here and we heard a rumor from one of our neighbors that a gang of black boys violently raped a woman jogger not far from where we live. There was also a stabbing at a store my dad used to like to go to. Your entire conception of reality is a product of a lifetime of telivision consumption.
