Very true. As a ridiculously underpaid former general manager of a popular pizza place, I can confirm. After the ACA passed I was instructed by my masters to hire more people and give them no more than 25 hours a week. Top performers were given 32 hours a week because we needed to call them in when shit got crazy and they would get close to 40. Nobody gets overtime ever. I worked 50-70 plus all the work I did from home like scheduling and product orders, plus being on call constantly for questions or coverage. All for 36k a year, the federal salary minimum to not get paid overtime.

Luckily we didn’t have to stick to the 25 hours thing because turnover was already nuts and nobody but the truly desperate will deal with that.

Speaking of desperation, my wife was in physical therapy school, I walked to work and we had a truly shithole apartment with roaches and bedbugs. I didn’t know I could do better due to untreated mental illness and other things. These bitch motherfuckers want everyone to have the mentality I did.

I rant about this a lot.
