“Look at some of the posts on this thread. Astonishing.
Some people here think this is perfectly fine, that someone would give their word or sign a contract to work with an employer for 40 hours a week, and then give something less than that.
Or that corporations “deserve” to be screwed because they somehow mistreated their employees.
I am speechless.
On one hand, no moral foundation. On the other hand, people sound like dedicated Marxists.
Right on this very forum. Just wow.”

I’m shocked as well. When you take a job and agree upon the hours of work each day, then that’s how many hours you should work for THAT employer and that employer alone.
To then use those hours to work for someone else for compensation is stealing from the employer (actually both employers). I can’t believe people do not see that. And then to say companies “deserve it”, just flabbergasts me. If you think a company is that bad, don’t work for them and don’t take their money.
For me, it boils down to the fact that the only thing I can do to remediate a company mistreating ME is to either take it, or find another job.
But for me to steal for someone or something else is a conscious choice I won’t willingly accept. I fully understand that if I am starving or unable to heat my home, I might well steal to survive. But that is not relevant here.
