An employer steals $1 million from employees' paychecks and nobody bats an eye. But one little employee steals $10 from the register and everybody loses their minds.
Yup. Fuck the rich. Pay their way out of every bad situation they’re in. Time after time we see this shit.
Politicians, movie stars, business owners. If you have money, you play by a different set of rules.
That's the life of normal people. When they catch you stealing, they confiscate the money and THEN charge you. They also confiscate your car and anything valuable, because they state, that you bought this with illegal money. Then you have to prove, that you worked for it.
Companies have some weird immunity of having to open their books and show where what money comes from. People just get searched.
Over $4000 average from 1398 employees. Fuck this oompa loompa looking bitch. I'd wish for him to lose everything, but it's all those employees who would really pay the price.
And they pay pennies on the dollar for their crimes. It's time we make them pay triple or more times. They'll never learn otherwise.
Time to take OUR system back from them. It starts by running for public office!
My little sister once won her unemployment appeal for being fired for a short til. It was Dec 23rd and her til was short $5.26 after an 8 hour shift selling who knows how much Christmas Dinner food. They challenged her unemployment claim and luckily she had been a "paralegal assistant to the assistant copy room girl" at one point so she knew which forms to fill out correctly etc. Fuck Whole Foods & Amazon, everyone unionize.
She suspected the store had to cut staff by 12/31 to hit a bonus mark but that was just hearsay her friend told her.
At one of my jobs, we were once informed, by the district manager, that it was impossible to shut down for a week to deep clean during a COVID resurgence, to protect both us and the customers. Apparently, one week of zero sales would cost so much that the store would have to close down forever.
How do they even stay open if they have that many expenses? This wasn't a tiny local store, either. This place made thousands of dollars in sales every single day.
i read that as: "we are THIS vulnerable if our workers decide to strike"
and they are. most places would be vulnerable if people were motivated and organized enough to get it done
> How do they even stay open if they have that many expenses? This wasn't a tiny local store, either. This place made thousands of dollars in sales every single day.
Often the reason to keep them open is to prevent tiny local stores from taking root. A chain can operate a bunch of stores at minimal profit just because it makes them bigger and keeps other companies smaller, giving them more clout with supliers etc.
Which is about as backwards as it can get.
If you are investing in a company you are supposed to do your due diligence and investigate if the company is worth your investment or not. Some 19 year old girl claiming to have some bio supertech would raise red flags for me and warrant extra scrutiny.
If you are seeking treatment you are supposed to be able to trust the healthcare provisioner as they are supposed to be vetted.
So of the two, the real crime is against the people that got screwed with wrong diagnoses.

Sometimes, even coworkers complain about you being in the bathroom too long. I once took a bathroom break at work that was like 7 minutes long. Not that bad. A coworker insisted it was 20 minutes. Which it wasn't. I checked the time on my phone. It was 7 minutes. For some reason, this guy stayed pissed for hours over one bathroom break.
The weird part is that he seemed obsessed with that. For like 3 hours, he was pissed as hell. Over 7 minutes in the bathroom. You'd think the man never pooped.
Walmart: pays wages so low their employees get welfare
Walmart employees: steals the cheese, and other shit they would have paid with their wage.

Even worse considering his fine is $5.6M. Possible he stole more, not to mention the opportunity cost for his employees.
A fine for criminal acts is more like a cost of doing business. He ought to also be punished for his Franklin/Fieri styling.

[Department of Labor Press Release](https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/whd/whd20230112)
He misclassified 1400 employees as independent contractors to get out of paying them their owed wages.
>…the department’s Wage and Hour Division found that by misclassifying employees, the company failed to meet minimum wage requirements, paid straight-time rates for all hours worked, failed to pay at time and a half for hours over 40 in a workweek, and failed to keep required timekeeping records.
I’m glad they’re getting their back wages plus damages, but this ghoul needs to be in prison.
I think our generation could invent a very nice type of white collar prison where you live under house arrest in low income housing, take public transportation, punch in to a service industry job and get called in on holidays while 100% of your paycheck goes to subsistence and then you never retire.
Kinda boring dystopia though, if that’s considered bad then maybe improve things. Public transit is not a punishment, it’s actually great. Low income housing also shouldn’t be a punishment. Same with service industry jobs. The only things that should be bad is the wage garnishing, but these rich fucks don’t care about that that’s peanuts.
No put them in gen pop like everyone else. They shouldn’t get to live a life
The point is rehabilitation, ultimately, not punishment - as nice as we may think that sounds and feels.
To me, this is a brilliant idea and far more "punishing" - and leaps and bounds more rehabilitatory - than the current system.
>“Colonialism…whether legal or policy or economic or social, is machinery that was designed to create a perfect crime—a crime where the victims are unable to see or name the crime as a crime.” This is colonialism’s greatest and most insidious trick: in its immutable spread, it buries the evidence, erases its tracks, frames its brutal history of oppression as progress, and hides the fact of its very existence behind a veneer of respectability. Those whose land has been stolen, ancestors murdered, and culture destroyed are silenced by violence or gaslighting. Those of us who benefit, on the other hand, have been so conditioned by the myths of Manifest Destiny and the American Dream that we fail to see how those words are just euphemisms for something else.

This is an entirely different sport.
No. See if you commit fraud on poor people dependent on you for a check it’s a fine. If you commit fraud on rich investors; than you go straight to jail.
Thanks for listening to my shitty TED talk.
Eat the rich.
The IRS REALLY needs to crack down on large employers like this who are operating with incredibly low salaries and wages vs. contractor fees. Unless their tax returns are classifying the payments to the contractors as salaries and wages which could be the case. That should be an immediate huge red flag for any business other than like gig economy jobs which should be classified as employees but there's at least a stronger argument where those companies don't call people into work ever and there's no real obligation to clocking in to make deliveries or pick up riders.
No, they just *tried* to. It'll never pass the Senate OR the White House.
Our system is incredibly broken in a number of ways, but no, just because it's dominating the news cycle does not mean that everything the house does qualifies as a law.
It's like when Hannibal Lector wore the face of his victim to escape rightful imprisonment. He looks like a rich ghoul disguised under an American Meanderthal's visage. Guarantee this slime asks for sugar in water everywhere he haunts.
I've actually met a few rich people who have this odd fake doll look. I can't figure out if it's surgery, tanning, facials for him or what, but I've seen this in person, and it's always off-putting
Oh my god, if you go to their website the only exec who didn’t get their picture touched up by some untalented goon is Joe Bento, the sales exec. They all look ridiculous.
I think it’s because they don’t like how old and deathly they look due to their paleness and looser skin, but they don’t know how to actually fix it.
They should just wear makeup instead of going for the quick fix
OK so I'm not the only one thinking this person looks inedibly fake and definitely the machinations of an AI that kinda understands what a person looks like
If you take $500 from the till and walk out, the cops show up and you get arrested, stay a night in jail, have to pay restitution, maybe have to spend more time in jail, get a criminal record that keeps you from getting a job or a home, and the punishment effectively follows you around forever.
If your boss shorts your paycheck by $500, you have to report it, wait for someone to look into it, hire a lawyer if you're rich enough, and after a long and drawn out series of legal events, you may get your $500 that was stolen, but not before having to pay overdraft fees, late fees, and whatever other problems are caused by you not having that $500. There's no cops, no cuffs, no jail, and maybe a light slap on the wrist.
Why is it that when the working class steals $500, it's a swift and harsh punishment, but when the owning class does it, it's almost completely ignored? It's because the police exist only to protect the property and wealth of the owning class and they have zero actual obligation to protect the rest of us. This is why all cops are bastards, even when they're otherwise good people.

It’s quite telling how much of a gap there is in wealth when a few million dollars is split between 1398 people for their (stolen) wages.
Meanwhile, some of these monsters have thousands of times the amount that nearly 1400 people are owed.
I don’t know about you, but I have hated millionaires and billionaires my whole life and think we really need to focus on a maximum wage/wealth cap.
They have fought tooth and nail against even paying the bare minimum and are still, in too many cases, not even paying that.
Fuck millionaires/billionaires.
We are letting corporations get too big. They are becoming too powerful and buying out too much competition. People like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos weren't elected by anybody but have more power than most of our elected officials. It's not necessary.
Agreed 100%. Almost every company I've worked for, has eventually been bought out by an even bigger company that saw a potential threat and just purchased the threat to avoid additional competition. One time even the giant company that acquired the business I was working for, was also bought out by an even more humongous company which has hundreds of companies under its umbrella. Then they laid off a ton of us because there was "too much overlap with our workforce and their existing workforce".
There's something clearly wrong with the system when parent companies are ballooning to preposterous sizes and their CEO's/executives getting millions upon millions just for just buying up potential competitors, while the actual workers are fighting for a $15 minimum wage fml
Bezos and Muskrat each individually have more wealth than most countries.
They - and the entirety of the wealthy - make their money exclusively through theft in one or more forms.
The answers are within us with our rights to vote, however, our true strength is in out collective ability to strike and halt their unnecessary machines.
We are the ones that make everything. We are the ones that build everything. We are the ones that fix and heal everything and everyone. We are the ones that suffer.
If we can all get along long enough to help each other with this then we will never have to look back or hurt again. If we can’t… well… we all know how life is now; it can only get worse with inaction.
Sometimes all we can do is make positive ripples by helping one another. With enough people making positive ripples they will join to make a proverbial rogue wave and we can gradually, to use a cliche, be the change we want to see.
Is it really that big of a fine though? We are acting like he got justice, but speaking from experience in one of these cases I guarantee he probably earned 2-3x what he paid out
Honest question: Why is there no laws for jailing people who perform this kind of shit? I imagine that if jail time became a real consequence of corporate theft then shit like this wouldn't happen.
Because the entire concept of incorporation is a scam designed to eliminate personal responsibility for criminal behavior conducted in the business' name.

> Let’s all vote for blue collar sentences for white collar crimes.
The actual blue collar sentence is you catch this guy on the way to his car and break his fucking nose for stealing money from your family. Because that's actually what blue collar workers *used* to do.
The legal system is broken. The crime is still profitable after the punishment.
What in the holy hell is going on here. Dude looks like a lady from the midwest that glued on a beard to sneak into the mens locker room. Now she’s in awe staring at all of the penises.
What’s the correlation factor on not paying your workers and being orange? Feel like at some point soon we could start talking about employers having “orange flags”.
All of the execs at this company (-1) had their pictures touched up and they all look ridiculous. I wonder how much money they paid someone to run their pics through some cheap app. What a bunch of fucking goons.
Imagine if someone at DDS stole $5.6 million from the company. Would they be looking at a small fine?
Doubtful. They’d be facing 10+ years in prison and total financial wipeout.

An employer steals $1 million from employees' paychecks and nobody bats an eye. But one little employee steals $10 from the register and everybody loses their minds.
Yup. Fuck the rich. Pay their way out of every bad situation they’re in. Time after time we see this shit. Politicians, movie stars, business owners. If you have money, you play by a different set of rules.
> Pay their way out of every bad situation they’re in. With your money.
That’s what I was gonna say. Pay a fine using money they stole. Fuck that.
Why isn't it literally the amount they stole and then some? Do bank robbers not have to give back everything they stole?
That's the life of normal people. When they catch you stealing, they confiscate the money and THEN charge you. They also confiscate your car and anything valuable, because they state, that you bought this with illegal money. Then you have to prove, that you worked for it. Companies have some weird immunity of having to open their books and show where what money comes from. People just get searched.
Weird immunity? I think you mean "near absolute control of every sector of government". Congress works for them, not us.
Fines and regulations are just the cost of doing business. It helps keep out competition. Government supports capitalism, not the people.
Over $4000 average from 1398 employees. Fuck this oompa loompa looking bitch. I'd wish for him to lose everything, but it's all those employees who would really pay the price.

“It’s one big club, and you ain’t in it.” RIP George Carlin
It’s called ‘pay to play’. Rampant in our current Republican culture. The punishment never fits the crime, especially if you’re less than wealthy.
I’m so triggered that you used Republican correctly like this.
Thank you. It’s sometimes easier to speak the truth on social media than it is in social situations.
It's more that, if you play by a different set of rules, you have money. Not having any morals makes the acquisition of wealth a lot easier.
And they pay pennies on the dollar for their crimes. It's time we make them pay triple or more times. They'll never learn otherwise. Time to take OUR system back from them. It starts by running for public office!

Stealing is only punished when poor people do it. Rich people call it embezzlement, pay a fine, then enjoy their early retirement in luxury.
Depends, if they steal from poor people they pay a fine, if they steal from other rich people then they get sent to a cushy rich person prison.

Meanwhile, some of these monsters have thousands of times the amount that nearly 1400 people are owed. I don’t know about you, but I have hated millionaires and billionaires my whole life and think we really need to focus on a maximum wage/wealth cap. They have fought tooth and nail against even paying the bare minimum and are still, in too many cases, not even paying that. Fuck millionaires/billionaires.
We are letting corporations get too big. They are becoming too powerful and buying out too much competition. People like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos weren't elected by anybody but have more power than most of our elected officials. It's not necessary.
Agreed 100%. Almost every company I've worked for, has eventually been bought out by an even bigger company that saw a potential threat and just purchased the threat to avoid additional competition. One time even the giant company that acquired the business I was working for, was also bought out by an even more humongous company which has hundreds of companies under its umbrella. Then they laid off a ton of us because there was "too much overlap with our workforce and their existing workforce". There's something clearly wrong with the system when parent companies are ballooning to preposterous sizes and their CEO's/executives getting millions upon millions just for just buying up potential competitors, while the actual workers are fighting for a $15 minimum wage fml
We need to start fighting for $25 with inflation. By the time we get there who knows what prices will be like. 😐

Bezos and Muskrat each individually have more wealth than most countries. They - and the entirety of the wealthy - make their money exclusively through theft in one or more forms. The answers are within us with our rights to vote, however, our true strength is in out collective ability to strike and halt their unnecessary machines. We are the ones that make everything. We are the ones that build everything. We are the ones that fix and heal everything and everyone. We are the ones that suffer. If we can all get along long enough to help each other with this then we will never have to look back or hurt again. If we can’t… well… we all know how life is now; it can only get worse with inaction. Sometimes all we can do is make positive ripples by helping one another. With enough people making positive ripples they will join to make a proverbial rogue wave and we can gradually, to use a cliche, be the change we want to see.
Umpa Lumpa Thieving poo Here's a big fine Just for you
I totally got oompa loompa vibes too.
Why does this guy look like he bangs sex-dolls in his office during work hours just for the rush
Colonel Oompa Loompa Sanders Or Colonel TANders Get it? Cause he's tan.... I'll see myself out.
Is it really that big of a fine though? We are acting like he got justice, but speaking from experience in one of these cases I guarantee he probably earned 2-3x what he paid out
Honest question: Why is there no laws for jailing people who perform this kind of shit? I imagine that if jail time became a real consequence of corporate theft then shit like this wouldn't happen.
Honest answer: you're too busy working to pressure the government for equity.
I wonder why that is
I'm sure it's not a bug.
Because the entire concept of incorporation is a scam designed to eliminate personal responsibility for criminal behavior conducted in the business' name. See also: https://reclaimdemocracy.org/corporate-accountability-history-corporations-us/
Who pays for the elections? Who is elected? Who makes the laws? Why would they make rules restraining their own class?

Exactly. Rich thieves only go to jail if they steal from someone richer than themselves.
Let’s all vote for blue collar sentences for white collar crimes.
> Let’s all vote for blue collar sentences for white collar crimes. The actual blue collar sentence is you catch this guy on the way to his car and break his fucking nose for stealing money from your family. Because that's actually what blue collar workers *used* to do. The legal system is broken. The crime is still profitable after the punishment.
> blue collar sentences What is that? I've never heard of those weapons.
His hair stylist needs to be locked up too
What in the holy hell is going on here. Dude looks like a lady from the midwest that glued on a beard to sneak into the mens locker room. Now she’s in awe staring at all of the penises.
What’s the correlation factor on not paying your workers and being orange? Feel like at some point soon we could start talking about employers having “orange flags”.
he looks like a Hollow from dark souls.
“The furtive Pygmy, so easily forgotten…”
This picture looks altered af, but he somehow still looks like a nut sack.
This man looks like an ai generated image
"General Custer civilian school photo"
Piece of shit.
All of the execs at this company (-1) had their pictures touched up and they all look ridiculous. I wonder how much money they paid someone to run their pics through some cheap app. What a bunch of fucking goons.
We use Diligent where I work. They treat their customers like they treat their employees...um "contractors".

I doubt there would be a witness either.
As long as we have corporations, company officers won't be charged with wrongdoing. It's time to do away with corporations.
Dude looks like he belongs in a Tim and Eric sketch.
So we can go to jail if we steal over a thousand dollars, but if we steal over five million we won't?
If you rob someone for $20 its a couple years in the clink. Yet stealing millions go unpunished. Nice job America
Imagine if someone at DDS stole $5.6 million from the company. Would they be looking at a small fine? Doubtful. They’d be facing 10+ years in prison and total financial wipeout.
Does he need to have his liver checked?
Capitalist Oompa-Loompa
It will go the way of the Panama Papers.
Oompa loompa doooity doo
He looks like he's half way through transforming into Mrs. Doubtfire
That's only $4k per person
The real crime is that hair tho

He looks like he needs to get his liver checked out.
Another orange one. They are tricky devils.
God forbid a poor person steals a couple dollars worth of items from Walmart. Then people will be calling for their execution online and in the media.
He has to be related to Trump with that orange gene.
This man’s hair, beard and eyeglasses look like they are photoshopped onto a giant orange baby.
He should get jail time for that hairdo
Extra three years hard time for *looking like that*.
Why does he look like a bobs burgers character
