True. Employers lie to you all the time, and consider it perfectly justified, because (insert arbitrary self-beneficial reason here).

All of my employers either stole from me (was included in lots of those typical mass lawsuits), did coke in the office, lied to everyone, and/or were abusive. Honestly couldn't give a flying fart if employees decided to hide truths to protect themselves.

That's the point, they do not want you to get out of corporate slavery!

I agree with you!. They want you to be enslaved and not be financially independent and be subservient to them until you are too old.

The system is designed to keep you poor and give you just enough cash to pay your debts. Any extra money you make just gets taxed. We are debt slaves.

How can they “own” your free time? I don’t get how it’s legal to control your time and how you choose to use it when not at work.

Exactly right..

I have a secret for you... your employer doesn't really care about "having leverage" over you. What they care about is getting an honest day's work out of an honest day's pay from you. I don't know why people seem to think that they are indispensable to an employer, especially an employer that is a large corporation. At some point, you'll realize that the larger a company is the less significant you are to them because they'll always be able to find a replacement for you.

@@2020Max1 I disagree. If you talk about leaving and starting your own business, many companies would try to give you the boot before you can successfully transition as like you said, they will need to replace you. They don’t want to be left high and dry either which can happen if an employee has options. Either a business of their own or another potential job that can help them when negotiating pay and bidding on other jobs.

For real!

Ethics is just a stupid word stupid people use and conflate with morality.

Or sell to millions of clients. By their own reasoning, they should sell to 1 and only 1 client, no more. Otherwise would be disloyalty to that client.

Yep! There is not a single honest company out there. Lie to them all. Corporate stooges are never ever your friend

There's nothing wrong with that though....the fact they provided so many jobs in the first place automatically makes them many, many times better than you in every measurable metric.

We got no choice. No one wants to work 2-3 jobs just to live decent. Our generation was screwed from the start and they knew it. Btw we better start saving for retirement because our / younger generations millennials and gen z there will be NO retirement for us

Good luck 🤞

Agree 👊🏿👊🏿

And yet here I am, at 37, and I've been retired for two years now and own my house. And no, I didn't come from a wealthy family either. Nor am I really that "well-educated" in the sense that I've never been to college. The reason so many from our generation are struggling is they lack creativity when it comes to finding ways to earn money. So many are stuck in the mindset that going out and slaving away for someone else is the only way to make money. It's not. If your job is your only source of income, then I hate to sound like a jerk, but you're doing it wrong and you'll never make any progress financially. I remember seeing something back in my early twenties that motivated me to find alternative ways to make money. It was a video of some rich guy giving a talk and he said something to the effect of "you'll never get rich working for someone else." After that, I quit my job and joined the army. After 4 years in the army, I got out and went to work for a PMC. I used the 6-figure salary they were paying to start investing in stocks that pay dividends. I hardly had any living expenses because I was overseas and everything I needed was provided by the company. From there, I just kept investing as much of my salary as I could afford and reinvesting my dividend income until it created a snowball effect where I started making more and more money on dividends. Once I reached the point where I could live comfortably on my dividends, I retired. I bring in about $50,000 a year in passive dividend income, which is more than enough to live a comfortable middle-class life in the low cost of living state I chose to live in. My point in telling you all that isn't to brag or make anyone feel bad. My point is that taking the traditional route and working until 65 or whatever simply isn't going to get it done anymore. And most people understand that. But that's kinda what frustrates me about our generation. We understand that going about life doing the traditional regular job thing isn't enough, but so many of us make no attempt to try another way. I'm hoping that reading my story might get you motivated to find another path that will get you to where you want to be in life. It's still possible to achieve everything our parents had, we just have to put more effort into achieving it than our parents did.

The employer doesn't see your life as belonging to you. They see that they are buying you. If there were not laws in place, they would have you working 24/7

Sounds like it could have been an easy job to OE at if the pay was worth it 👀

No, its most likely, because they realized that for the most part oversight of large development teams is severely lacking, and you could probably commit a fraction of your time without penalty from your manager. So they gamed the system, by getting hired at two places, while the minimum amount of work to not get fired. This is dishonest. They are being paid for their time not their productivity. If they wanted to do this, and they are very productive workers, then they should have had a discussion with both companies about doing free-lance or contractual work which would result in productivity based pay not time based pay.

In reality, a lot of employees actually work 3,4,or 5 jobs for a single employer. They hire you for a job, then add more and more responsibilities as time goes along. Then the boss gets 'bonuses' for keeping overhead lower ( not hiring more people to do the jobs heaped on current employees). That's partially where the bonuses come from! So, who's actually stealing?

2 jobs? Try having 6 different rolls like I did in my last job. I wasted so much time there 🤣

yup, is as simple as that

I find your comment straight to the point - most people hate to work a second job, but they might need more money to cover their expenses. I also think that a company can avoid such behaviour if they pay their employees well enough, or if an employee comes to his manager and asks for a raise to cover at least the yearly inflation rate, as long as this employee is doing his job right, it should not be a problem.. this is also pennies for any company that is making decent profits (most tech companies who don't go bankrupt within the first 3 years are)

bad take. A guy flipping burgers or buffing floors at night shouldnt be making the kind of money where he would never consider a second job. I agree with most everything in these comments but thats just fucking stupid.

A guy flipping burgers or buffing floors for 8 hours a day should make enough money to make a living. I don''t say they should earn millions, but If you think people who have a full-time job need to have a second job just to not starve, then you're an asshole and part of the problem.

@@thomasmitchell7815 You've clearly never tried to live off a food service salary where being paid $9 an hour was considered a good wage. Before covid a good 80% of my coworkers worked a second job while I was at KFC. After covid, over 90% of them did just to make ends meet.

Yes, that's what happens when there are jobs that have a high supply of workers in them. Part of this issue is immigration policy (if you're in the lower states) as low paying jobs have artificially high supplies of untrained, unskilled work. This means that people are paid less and are more disposable.

Companies are already doing checks to make sure you left your previous job before you start a new one. And explicitly putting that on job offers, paperwork.

Kris, that is one of the reasons people leave industries they have been in for decades. They didn't realize the non compete they signed didn't have an expiration date!

Around here, it's law that if a non-compete causes you to be unable to find a new place of employment, then your old employer owes you your full salary, even without you working there, until the non-compete binds you. If your old employer tries to sue you for going to another company, then they could literally screw themselves over. And the most that the company could demand of you is the amount of extra compensation that they owe you for signing the non-compete. Now, granted, I live in Europe, but still.

@@MrBrownProdigy the biggest tip for getting started is to gain a following. It's also one of the hardest to do because of algorithms and how everything is trying to force short form video now. I built up a following on Instagram and started selling small original drawings through the messages there. Since then I've created my own website where I sell prints, stickers, and originals. I also started getting tables at conventions but those really require you to spend some money up front in the hopes that you do well at the show. What I have learned though is that if you make traditional drawings and gain even a small following then you'll sell those originals pretty steadily. Prints, stickers and other products created from digital art sell well at conventions but not great outside of that. Also, Patreon is a great way to have a relatively steady amount of money coming in as long as you provide exclusive artwork and such to your patrons.
