Seeing this post made me flash back to how often wage theft happened to me during holidays as a teenager.
4th of July, New Year’s… Didn’t even know about time and a half.
Everyone focuses on the typo when dude did an awesome thing. Reddit doesn’t allow title edits and GBoard is shit at producing the words you want, and then dude gets a bunch of Tina jokes.
They got screwed thrice; by their boss, by Reddit, and by their keyboard
Yeah, but they chose to use redit and gboard. Like 2/3 self-inflicted.
On android, what keyboard do you recommend for swipe typing?
Moving the cursor by swiping in space bar is also something I haven’t found in other keyboards
Yeah, and they choose to participate in capitalism by being employed. What a Rube! What a buffoon! 100% self inflicted.
Personally I’ve made my own smartphone out of glue and matchsticks, and stuff I stole from Walmart. I only post via a VPN, and only to servers that run on biofuel and solar. If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go mock the homeless for using iPhones. Have they no appreciation for the privacy they lose?
I mean, blame Gboard all you want, they didn’t proofread something that can’t be edited later
That’s 100% on them and they deserve the Tina jokes
They also deserve praise for what they did in the OP
eat your ham

That doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to change them before you hit “submit”.
But not by Tina that we know of
Fuck, you Americans are getting ripped off. Here the legal minimum is 2.25x pay for public holidays (Australia)
1.5x? Are ya serious? That’s like the lowest tier of overtime. Or sunday penalty rates.
For real, I can’t believe people aren’t even getting that.
(Illegal underpayment still happening here, aside).
Even then, it’s by state. Some states have no holiday pay.
I once worked a job where if I was five minutes late or had to leave early the shift before or the shift after a holiday I would forfeit my holiday pay. That’s when I learned that holiday pay isn’t guaranteed in the states. Never worked another holiday at that job again.
Only Rhode island and Massachusetts have it for hourly workers.
Most industry awards actually make it 250% of base rate.
I guess not retail, which I randomly plucked out to get some numbers. I also thought 2.5x ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Who the heck is Tina?
Autocorrect typo for “time”.
That llama from Napoleon Dynamite?
Older daughter from Bob’s Burger’s
“It’s pernounced TYna. rhymes with vagyna!”
SOB’s. Thinking they are entitled to have poor Tina… And the half bit is extra worrying.
Starbucks may deserve all the stick that they get for their labor practices, but here in Canada on holidays they pay double time and a half (or about CAD $50/hour).
Are they staying open because there’s marketing value in being open on a holiday, or because there’s business as usual money to be made. If it’s not for some extra marketing purposes, this just lays bare how much more money they could be paying folks and still remain profitable.
Overtime and holiday pay was meant to disincentivize manufacturing companies from overworking their people and not letting them spend time doing frivolous things like being with family on holidays. The difference between the cost of labor and the value of labor was so small back then (after decades of negotiating, union action, and bloodshed) that a simple 1.5x was enough to disincentivize it under most circumstances. It’s so vast now for the service industry that they are willing to pay 2.5 times as much.

Maybe in your industry. The legal requirement is time and a half.
Did you miss the first half of their comment?
A half of tina is a pretty decent chunk of meth, you probably don’t need that much.
Hey, would you like half a Tina?
na
Damn I thought this was my local grocer for a quick second.
Totally looks like Wheatsville Coop in Austin. If so, they have pretty good wages from my understanding, and also this location is closing permanently soon. But there are probably other stores that look like this too
I think this is an MN co-op, thousand hills is a local MN meat farm, I don’t think they sell nationally.
I’ve never gotten Tina and a half… 😔
NEVER work holidays for 1.5x pay if all employees gets paid 1x. I learned my lesson as a teen, once you cancel out the 1x from everyone, you’re working for half pay. fuck that.
Wut?
Usually, you’d get your holiday pay at 1x that everyone gets and then you’d get 1.5x for working the holiday.
Exactly, I was confused by their warning because working a holiday at whatever rate shouldn’t (and in most cases doesn’t) make you forfeit an all-employee 1x holiday pay benefit.
All for all and one for one.
When your own laziness undermines the point you were trying to make.
Don’t get paid to care about spling
What laziness?

At first I thought they were making a sly joke by using the actual employee’s name.
