DENVER – The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado announces that Tiffany Vo, age 37, of Denver, was sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison, three years of supervised release, and restitution in the amount of $483,393.58 after pleading guilty to one count of wire fraud for a scheme to defraud her employer, Amazon.
Makes me thankful for my org because they’re SO FUCKING STRICT about all the stuff on the left. You get in trouble if you don’t let them pay you. All breaks are paid.
It’s a nonprofit (which is kinda also for profit, it makes hella money) so that’s prolly part of it, if they made less money they’d prolly fuck us all more
You would be surprised how many people just go “Yeah it’s no problem, I’ll grab that thing even though I clocked out” instead of “nah, I’m not getting paid I’m not doing it”
I see what you’re talking about. I wouldn’t actually be surprised. That sort of thing just didn’t occur to me. I was thinking more along the lines of working for 2 hours and then refusing to be paid for it.
But I have always refused to do that shit. 5 pm and I am out the door. You need me, I’ll be back in tomorrow or Monday if it’s the weekend.
It adds up quickly. Especially when you take into account just how many people it happens to.
Not to mention just how many people have to do things related to their job that they don’t get any compensation for.
My job requires me to spend about 15 minutes at the end of the day on a computer. But I have to clock out in order to finalize my shift. So I basically do 15 minutes of work every day without pay. I always wait until 15 minutes into my drive home to clock out though, so I’m still getting the compensation.
lol there’s enough companies out there just literally… robbing their employees that it’s part of the statistic? Does that mean like… idk, taking your your employees tools and claiming them as the companies or something?
No. I think it’s pretty clear what each of those violations are and none of them involve taking tools.
Even if you ignore all of the others, just paying people less than minimum wage- i.e. minimum wage violations, is a far bigger problem than any non-wage related theft.
My dude I’m talking about the small purple statistic just labelled “robbery” in the bottom right corner of the graph.
Edit: never mind apparently I can’t read and am a moron.
When are we gonna lock up employers for stealing from employees??

Not that I don’t think that’s great, but why would someone not let their employer pay them?

Welcome to the club. We have coffee and donuts.
It’s a graph of all types of theft including all perpetrators. I imagine most violent robberies are committed by people rather than companies.
Yeah I reread the graph and realized that I’m big stupid.
It happens.
