In here, some low end employers give you "stravenky", which are tax deductable coupons, that you can spend only on food. I am still not sure what to think about them, but they are at least useful.

It's sad, but immigrants cannot negotiate for their job.
1) somethimes, they don't even speak the language
2) in most cases, the employer has even some legal leverage over them, in case they fuck up. (he can deport them)
3) they have no savings, as well as no chance of saving up.

When it comes to modern slavery, this is one of the few ways to do it these days.

Damn... That is some next level shit....
Yeah, places like that need to be burned to the ground.

@matana @picandor
hey, I have nothing to complain about. I held to the rule that if your skill reaches a certain poinnt, you become more useful to the company, then the compant is to you.

And then things turn. It's like dating.
You can hear thousands of stories of incels dying to appease girls who coudn't give a single shit about them, but once you turn chad, girls will stalk you to spend some good time with you.

@FloatingGhost
This is some real commie shit.

Government handiny you money to buy:
Food? no
Shelter? no
Clothes? no

some fucking pretty papers? you got it ..

I said "publically in front of 30 customers".

It obviously isn't the best way to hurt them, but if you do it correctly, customers know, managers are shocked and you might even inspire coworkers to quit.

Obviously trying to actively shut them down is better, but there comes a point, where your life matters too, so don't drag yourseft through too much shit before you're back on your feet again.

@matana @picandor
No and no.
I get what you're getting at. It is obviously 100 times harder to walk out on a job when you have obligations, but not only did this guy had none, I think it is MORE important to fight for a fair job when you have them, since the long term stakes are that higher.

@picandor
This is why you're expendable.
I worked at a dumb corpo shop. My paycheck was late, so I immediately told to boss, that I quit if the paycheck wont arrive in 1 week.

I never again got a single paycheck late.

1 year later I Spoke to a co worker and he said that the company missed his paycheck too. And he was still working there. He had every option to publically declare in front of 30 customers that he quits since he's not getting payed, but he kept working instead.

I do not believe in unions, but some people just love to suffer.

@Terfest__Shadow
My point is, that I consider laws against child labour as intrinsically immoral.

If these kids could work at Mc Donalds, many of them would.
