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.

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?

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?

HEY THERE YOU ARE AGAIN I LOVE YOU!
