Company only pays half of minimum wage, so new teen hire refuses to show up for first shift, causes other employees to quit: ‘Good luck… You guys gonna need it!’

Companies try their hardest to act like the are humans, but they, quite literally, are not. They use fancy lingo and power dynamics to convince you that what they are doing is totally fine, but in many cases, it is not. In many cases, the company is the one pulling wage and time theft from its employees. Take, for instance, this Reddit user's experience at one of his first jobs. He saw a posting for a job at a convenience store near his home. He was just a teenager and was hunger for some independence. So he interviews there and is appalled at what he hears from the management… They tell him that they only pay HALF of minimum wage. HALF. First of all, that is not legal, that is why it is the MINIMUM, but hey, companies tend to get away with whatever they want with no consequences, so why not try to pull this wage theft guised as wage transparency?…
