Perhaps I wasn’t clear. Employees are clocking in early and not performing work related duties, and employees are clocking in before they even show up to work. What I meant by my last question is that employees are stealing wages. I know that won’t be popular, and it’s not at all to say that employers are worse at it, but your comment on the subject brought into mind because it’s definitely related.

Morcyphr@lemmy.oneto memes@lemmy.world•Thinking about flushing some paper down this toilet, what do you sayEnglish21·2 years agoI wish we could activate them to explode. So many seemingly normal people do not know how to properly operate a toilet. This is not a race, ethnicity, sex, gender, etc. problem; it’s across the board. What’s really frustrating is that often it doesn’t impact the morons offender as much as an innocent person that does know a toilets functions and limitations (think apartment life). It’s not fucking rocket science, people.
Morcyphr@lemmy.oneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is wage theft exactly?English28·2 years agoI see this quite often as a manager. Shift is 8-5, hour lunch. Per policy, deviance must be approved by the supervisor. I get people all the time clocking in at 740ish and not starting work until 815ish, circle jerk around the coffee pot. In fairness, I SHOULD dock that time, but I don’t. Write up for violating established policy. I had a guy a few days ago, clocked in at 8, text me at 815 that he is running late because he can’t find his clothes (what?!). Who’s stealing wages in this scenario?
According to stats I’ve read for my state, most of wage theft is former employees, whether they quit or were terminated, not getting their final paycheck in the time frame dictated by law. I don’t really see this as wage theft, because IN MY EXPERIENCE, tracking down former employees can be difficult, even if they quit yesterday.
This NOT to say other forms of wage theft don’t happen maliciously.
You become a 6 year old in the present, and you spawn at Point Nemo.
Assuming I’m back to 6 years old in 1980, there’s no guarantee stocks, bitcoin, lottery, etc. would have the same outcome. Alternative timeline, so many variables. No thanks.
Alternatively, 6 years old in 2024. Nope.
Blue pill, please.
Morcyphr@lemmy.oneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the profession you wouldn't work, even for a day and even if paid your weight in gold?English1·2 years agoFunny you should add that last sentence. My first day as a restaurant worker 30 something years ago was entirely sitting watching videos.
Morcyphr@lemmy.oneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the profession you wouldn't work, even for a day and even if paid your weight in gold?English3·2 years agoHave at it. A big nope from me. I watched a couple of videos of guys climbing those things and working on them and about died of anxiety. Even with all the proper safety gear, I’m sure I’d get a ways up and just freeze in fear.
I’d rather take on some of the other “nopes” in this thread; military or law enforcement. I could be a lazy ass do nothing cop for a day. Seems to work for quite a few cops.

Morcyphr@lemmy.oneto News@lemmy.world•Chris Rock Asked Out Jada Pinkett Smith Before the Slap, Explaining EverythingEnglish1·2 years agoSadly, lots of people.
I’ve had the same experience with crossing signals as a pedestrian. And pedestrians crossing dangerously illegally yell at me for driving normally. You can think what you like, but if your assertion were true, pedestrian deaths would be much higher. I don’t think it has anything to do with the pandemic; I’d bet it’s more attributed to tech. But again, think what you like.
Morcyphr@lemmy.oneto News@lemmy.world•Iran's Khamenei says Tehran was not behind Hamas attack on IsraelEnglish3·2 years agoPerhaps they didn’t plan or execute the attack, but they certainly supported and supplied it, as the article suggests.
I am an American, too. I care about pedestrians. A right turn on red is a perfectly safe maneuver when done properly. The problem presents with one or more of inattentive drivers, inattentive pedestrians, inattentive cyclists (believe it or not, all 3 exist, probably in equal proportion). I’m fairly certain the “actively trying to kill pedestrians because I don’t care” attitude is a pretty small minority, even for Americans.
But, bruh, America bad amirite lmfaorofllol
Morcyphr@lemmy.oneto News@lemmy.world•Over 60 percent of Gen Z have an anxiety disorderEnglish6·2 years agoI, for one, did not take your comment in a bad light. I’m in my late 40s, and most of my peers that I’m comfortable with have anxiety or some other mental health issue, myself included. I’m not sure what generation classification I fall into, but it really doesn’t matter; it’s not a generation specific problem. I guess I don’t really have a point here. Maybe that it’s a problem of the times rather than DOB. Or I’d guess 15% of people don’t report.
Morcyphr@lemmy.oneto News@lemmy.world•Netflix is planning to raise prices... againEnglish3·2 years agoI’m in the same boat. She’s convinced that using twice it every 6 months is worth it. I don’t even know what we pay for it these days, $14.99? Not worth making a big deal about at this point. We did cancel Hulu (better than Netflix,
imo) and paramount some months ago, so I’ll take that and deal.

They're even riding the trains, and a ferry.English17·2 years agoWith the right equipment, proper preparation, and proper knowledge of use, heat treatment can be the most effective, especially on mass infestations. I’ve had training and used this method professionally many times effectively. But it’s not a DIY home remedy.

This is a reddit or even Twitter level shit comment. Please take your ignorant self back to either of those platforms. The dumb American trope is overused, largely inaccurate, and tired. Steal some new material from someone more witty and try again.
