Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Why does anyone use them or work there? Terrible company.

[–] Veedem@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

Yeah it’s a weird choice to make. There’s been nothing but ridiculous news about this company for a decade now. At some point, consumers need to vote with their money and go elsewhere.

Because most people don’t hang out on lemmy reading this shit. Most people are oblivious because they are too busy trying to afford life.

I personally wasn't given a choice. My mortgage was sold to them soon after I signed it with a local bank. Fortunately the rates were locked in so WF hasn't had an opportunity to fuck me over, but it was still an unpleasant surprise.

I refinanced and said "anyone but Wells Fargo" closed and a couple of months later, who buys my mortgage? You guessed it. Wells Fargo. Bastard people.

That sucks. Make sure you keep your statements and verify everything with them.

Brand recognition

Wage theft is the largest form of theft in the US.

At what point do you walk into the big vault holding a pool of gold coins and grab some overtime pay?

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You complained about being hourly. Congratulations, you're now salaried.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

You complained about paying overtime and made me salary a couple years ago, but my position doesn't qualify as a salaried position. Congratulations to me on all the back pay!
