Let's talk about the new minimum salary rules! If your boss does NOT want to pay overtime, they need to pay at least $844/ week on July 1, and $1128/week on January 1, 2025. In addition to the minimum pay, you must also have primarily white collar, administrative job duties where you have independent discretion. Other overtime exemptions exist (such as for outside sales persons and computer professionals) but this is the most common one! #salary #overtime #money #work #workmemes #workreels #financialeducation

Religious accommodations work very similarly to disability accommodations at work! Covered employees are entitled to reasonable accommodation for their religious practice so long as it doesn't cause an undue hardship on the business. Kicking you out of the building when there's a perfectly good space available is NOT cool! #worklife #careergoals #california #usa #workmemes #workstories #selfimprovement #financialliteracy

What to know about the FTC ban: 1. Noncompetes restrain employees from seeking alternate employment or starting their own Biz. 2. Noncompetes have been shown to artificially suppress wages by locking up portions of the labor pool even when employees WANT to leave. 3. The ban will disallow all future noncompete agreements in employment. 4. FTC chair Lina Khan said "we heard from employees who, because of noncompetes, we're stuck in abusive workplaces." 5. The ban will retroactively nullify most Noncompetes, except those for high-level, policy making executives earning at least $151, 164. 6. The US Chamber of Commerce and a coalition of other anti-worker interest groups have vowed to fight the ban, claiming it hurts businesses and (somehow) hurts employees. #ftc #financialfreedom #financialeducation #financialliteracy #payraise #work #workmemes #noncompete #attorneyryan

America slips in global happiness ratings. The US now ranks 23d, making this the first time we have not been in the top 20. But when we account only for Americans under 30, we actually slip all the way down to 62nd place. How do we fix this? #happiness #quietquitting #attorneyryan #workingclass #genz #millenials

TRIGGER WARNING: SA, SH. A McDonald's franchise is paying $4 million to a minor employee who was SAd by her manager. The franchise knew or through reasonable inquiry SHOULD have known the manager was dangerous. Fortunately the child is safe now. But questions remain: (1) Is $4 million enough? And (2) How can we prevent this from happening again? #metoo #consent #fastfood #retail #workers #workingclass #minimumwage #attorneyryan #survivorsupport #believesurvivors

#greenscreen American worker productivity is declining FAST. Many blame #workfromhome or #genz #workethic but if we compare data from other studies, it appears our #productivity problem is actually a #management problem. Im #attorneyryan

Inflation in 2024 is still a problem. But what's not getting enough attention is how #shrinkflation and #greedflation are contributing to unaffordable prices. Because the truth is, these corporations are massively profitable, but #capitalism requires infinitely growing margins every quarter. Because companies in Americano longer exist to build the best product at the best price... they exist ONLY to create #shareholdervalue even if the consequences of doing so are economically disastrous. What's the solution? Hard to say. But nothing will change without major policy adjustments. OR... companies can realize that cranking up prices until no one can afford your stuff anymore is bad for business. #stockmarket #shareholder #financialfreedom #financialliteracy #costoflivingcrisis #workingclass

There's no easy way out. Eventually we have to view the tape. My only question is... WHY DUDE. Just why? #wfhproblems #remotework #zoommeeting #corporate #workmemes #cringe #cringetiktok

What if HR says they never got your email?

Under Californias waiting time penalty rule, you can get a full day of pay at your regular rate for every calendar day your final check is late (up to 30 days.) 1 Here's the kicker. The penalty starts accruing even if you're owed a single hour or pay. It makes no difference how much the money is short by. That's why some people don't like the rule. • What do you think? Is the California rule too harsh or should it be the new national standard? #worklife #payday #fired

We have unsustainable businesses chasing infinite growth in a finite world... but sure let's blame the poor guy just trying to work for a living it #cyberpunk #future #futuretech #work #workingclass #financialliteracy #workmemes #workhumor

Let's clear up some myths and facts about Californias new anti-retaliation rules. * Myth: You cannot be fired if you submit a complaint every 90 days. Fact: If you are fired within 90 days of a GOOD FAITH complaint, then there's a rebuttable presumption that it was illegal retaliation. If you just file complaints every 90 days the complaint will probably not look credible. So don't play fast and loose with this one! #california #careerhack #jobhack #work #career #quietquitting #attorneyryan

Is Gen Z really entitled, or are they just asking for the same deal workers got decades before them? Better yet, is Gen Z unprepared for the workforce, or is the old way of doing things not prepared for GenZ? Companies and CEOs have selfishly boarded the Lion share of prosperity created by US labor for decades. And when workers say "excuse me, might I have a sliver of the wealth I helped create?" The call from above is "you're so entitled!" But who is really the entitled one here? #genz #work #careergoals #careerdevelopment #financialliteracy #financialfreedom #knowyourworth #millenials #ceo
