Guy Accused of Wage Theft When He Clocks in For Meetings
This employee was accused of committing wage theft when they clocked in for "hour-long" meetings. As commenters have noted, there is wage theft happening here, but the boss is confused about who is the one doing the thieving.
This thread was trending after it was posted to the r/antiwork subreddit this week and has earned 10k upvotes. The poster, Reddit user u/DannoWhamo, was the one who posted the topic regarding this experience that they had at work. They noted that they were "Tired of spending my days off glued to my phone and laptop," and so decided to start logging the hours.
It might sound insane to some of us that this wasn't something that was automatically happening. Any good manager knows that prepping, planning, and communication are essential parts of running an organization and are, therefore, part of the job by default. If you want to get buy-in from your team, you should pay employees for any time they spend performing their role. That's just good business sense, and before you even consider the ethics and legalities involved.
