I LOVE YOU PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME

Many of these answers are great, thank you for being graet, lemmy is great.

This is a much more legalese take, I feel like some folks would disagree in terms of the spirit of wage theft vs the letter of the concept. I like it though, I appreciate it, I appreciate you.

I’ll buy 3 more, thanks for the advice

Interesting, interesting, I appreciate the perspective that wage theft can be committed by employees, although I’d be comfortable committing wage theft against my company, if I was paid hourly, they fucking suck.

Wouldn’t the exemption be considered wage theft though? What makes this scenario more complex?

I say we just ignore it, everytime someone mentions it one red blood cell enters the Muskian dick

Well my night is ruined

Based on all the replies it really juist seems like this system is fucking shit at giving people a resource to live their damn lives.

That is wild, so many salary jobs act like you should work more than 40 hours. I even had a manager that said upper level employees should be willing to work more than 40 hours per week. What a cock wart.

I really like your response, you seem like a kind warmhearted person, I wish you the best,

The thing I’m now realizing is that I too have been a victim of wage theft, but didn’t suspect anything under the guise of “the system is good numbers always go up YEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW”

Cheers to my sinking mental health yet again, I think I’ll name her the titanic fucking capitalist icebergs everywhere.

Whoever explained this to me originally reallllllllly sucked at it

You explain it so simply, and yet I was so confused before hand, thank you so much, why is life so hard?

How to change your mind, and yoga mind are two books that really helped me work through my trauma. They aren’t for everyone, but if you’re struggling to figure your shit out its a place to start at least.

This is a great explanation

Ooooooooooh this is a great explanation!

Really just any job, the A+ idea was a back up plan at best, and at worst just another buzzword to get my resume picked by automation

Wonderful thank you!

I used to play a game called Tokyo Jungle, in it you can play various animals in a humanless version of Tokyo. The main goal of the game is to explore the city and survive as long as you can while eating plants or animals your animal likes. This game taught me that larger animals need more calories to survive, as my runs with the alligator would end the quickest, where with the smaller animals I could play for longer. I just fact checked myself and elephants eat about 330-375 pounds of food per day, and this makes sense, the larger the biology, the more cells they have, the more cells they have, the more energy they need to keep those cells alive.

Since a t-rex is much bigger than an elephant, I’d imagine they would need an insane amount of calories per day to survive. In a starvation contest, a human would win. All you would have to do is wait for the lethargy of starvation to set in, and then when it falls asleep try to puncture an artery or slice tendons to immobilize the dino. The idea is that it would be so starved that even if it woke up, it wouldn’t have the coordination to immediately eat you, you may even have a comfortable window of time to seek shelter in the case that things go sideways. Or if you wanted to play it safe you could just wait for the t-rex to expire from starvation, but you’d most likely be feeling like shit by the end of that.
