Generally speaking you are taxed/follow employment laws of the state you do the work in.

I live in a state with transparent salary laws and this argument that posting the salary range isn’t deceptive is laughable. If that were true, why wouldn’t they be transparent and make it clear it’s a salary range and not a hiring range? The fact is, most people searching for a job are most interested in what they would be earning when they’re hired, not a theoretical wage 5, 10, or 15 years in the future.

I guess if you can’t convince people to support your cause, trying to deceive them into doing so is the next best thing.

This sort of discrimination is very real. I work in vocational rehabilitation and I’ve had to have these sort of frank discussions with clients, especially if they aren’t getting interviews when they’re well qualified.

You are right about government hiring taking forever. It took me about 5-6 months from the time I applied to my first government job to actually starting.

For fucks sake. I hope her family calls the ACLU.

What does shaking your ass at a private party have to do with your academics? This is the dumbest situation. This poor girl.

Their punishment is unbelievable. They didn’t tag a fence, they shot an 8 year old.

What in the actual fuck? Calling this deeply disturbing would be an understatement. Time to unsubscribe from news for a little while so my soul can heal.

Everyone involved should go to prison for a very long time. I know fentanyl dealers probably aren’t concerned with human life in the first place, but operating a daycare as a front is beyond fucked up.

I work in worker’s compensation and am pretty familiar with Amazon’s (lack of) safety practices and this does not surprise me in the least. My state recently ordered Amazon to pay a bunch of fines for willfully skirting safety rules, but even $85,000 in fines is nothing compared to the money they make because of skirting those laws in the first place.

I’m also a millennial with a similar experience in my first job in 2004 or 2005, except instead of racial jokes, it was jokes about boobs, sexist rumors about another coworker moonlighting as a stripper, unwanted touching, etc, and when I reported it, I was told to “grow up” by my supervisor.
