Wife's boss is on a power trip. Is this legal?
  • This is not correct. Wage theft is protected by law, not contract.

    An offer letter is specifically not an employment contract - that distinction is usually spelled out in the law and also in virtually every offer letter.

    How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?
  • I’m in finance. Have nothing to do with tech. It’s interesting to me and I’ve always been into tech stuff but not professionally

    MTG shows Hunter Biden revenge porn for congress.
  • The good thing is we are fighting the good fight here. It’s somewhat exciting to be part of a swing state. I’m voting in every election and trying my best to mobilize others also. I could probably do more…

    MTG shows Hunter Biden revenge porn for congress.
  • I’m from Georgia. But I’m from Atlanta which is a big city. Obviously she’s a nut job. She’s from a tiny tiny district that has only like 10,000 people.

    This is the result of gerrymanding such that you get heavily concentrated districts and have insane people who run unopposed.

    She does NOT represent the entire state. We voted for Biden and have two democratic senators. We are very “purple” but trending blue.

  • I’ve been to Italy many times (wife’s from there). Yes the pizza is amazing. Yes in almost every case. Yes they do not understand pineapple on pizza.

    But they are wrong. Those fuckers sometimes put boiled eggs and shit on there which ruin it.

    Just because somewhere invests something doesn’t mean they have ultimate and final say. Hamburgers came from Germany and I know our fatasses got those things perfected here.

    Wife's boss is on a power trip. Is this legal?
  • If this is in the US employment contracts are virtually nonexistent.

    If a policy doesn’t discriminate against a protected class, it’s pretty much legal. Your recourse is to find another job.

  • Really? I’m struggling to find good communities. Seems like mostly old memes and political articles. Any recommendations?

    Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?
  • People off most cultures drink, not just westerners. See Japan.

    Also people have drank for thousands of years and I’ve not seen any studies showing there’s more drinking now not that that hypothetical increased drinking has increased cancer rate.

    Yes it’s obviously bad and causes cancer.

    People with alcohol use disorder impaired after heavy drinking, despite claims of higher tolerance
  • Sorry that wasn’t very well written.

    The point is that alcoholics are not MORE drunk than non alcoholics on 8 drinks. They are just as hammered (but not more) than non alcoholics. The problem is that they THINK they are not as drunk while a nonalcoholic may recognize their impairment

  • That’s not quite right. Alcoholics do tolerate lower level of alcohol (4 drinks) than normal people. But once they get to 8 (which they do - remember these are alcoholics) they don’t get more drink than a normal drink person but they are more than twice as drunk as before and they are less drunk than they really are.

    New Apple Leak Confirms iPhone 15 Price Shock
  • iPhone 15 will be the most expensive ever released

    Isn’t every new iPhone model more expensive then the last? That statement is true for literally every iPhone. Obviously they are going to charge more with inflation and the need for profits. Shouldn’t be a surprise.

    Ocasio-Cortez endorses Biden's reelection campaign, sending a strong signal of Democratic unity
  • Trump isn’t bullying his way past 60 senators and the house for anything major. They passed one major piece of legislation (tax cuts) when he was in office. That’s it. No Obamacare repeal, no abortion legislation, nothing of significance. And now they don’t have any platform anyway so….

    What is the best way to host/upload gifs/mp4s/videos for Lemmy posts?
  • Most of us are new here. And frankly it’s very hard to find topics here. Reddit was hard enough but there’s a lot here and the search is ass. Many bugs and limited usability. Please be prettiest and help or this place won’t have a bunch of new users for long.
