It’s time to unionize, boycott and fight back against the parasite class that are stealing our wages and replacing the workforce with AI. The middle class is all but dead. It’s the parasite greedy one percent class and the working poor. I for one am sick of the wave theft while we are slowly being replaced and told to work harder for the same barely living wage.

You get 3% or less wage increase while they are living their dream from your sweat and tears. You can’t get paid your incentive pay on time. You will be asked for even higher performance, but no pay increase. It’s the hurtz way.

Thieves. Don't get back what I paid for bought PTO and they're continuing to charge me despite my job elimination. I Busted my ru-p in this dead-end place forever and this is just icing on the cake.

A.) The U.S. has started conducting online presence reviews of all H-1B and H-4 visa applicants in a bid to curb what it refers to as the “abuse” of the program.

B.) The wage protection law proposed by the Department of Labor last week could dissuade companies from sponsoring H-1B visas.

C.) Any changes to the H-1B rules will likely disproportionately hurt Indians, as they make up more than 70% of the recipients in recent years.

Many employees got a email from payroll dept saying they were over paid. But yet , the email didn’t give the specific details where the error was. Email says to fill out Red ticket. No response from ask Red.
Here’s the funny part , if you don’t sign a document by Dec 17 agreeing to give it back. Honeywell will send it to a collection company.

Distribution centers, sortation center and Woodbury distribution were told that starting Jan 1st we are required to take the new law of an unpaid 30 minutes AND they cannot work longer or make up the time. Everyone is going to lose pay that puts food on their tables for their families. This law was not meant for companies to use it to their own advantage benefit. Target does not care. Most people are losing $1500 to $5000 a year in lost wages. And yet no comment on the news.

In 1914, unskilled Ford workers were paid $5 a day for a six-day workweek — totaling $1,560/year, roughly 75 ounces of gold at the time. Today, with gold at about $4,210 per ounce, that same 75 ounces would be worth over $317,000. Meanwhile, the median U.S. worker earns ~$62,000 — just 20% of the 1914 real wage. A century ago, a basic wage meant real security; now it’s daily struggle. The system is criminal.

It is a complete joke that a company that forces exempt, salaried employees to work 20+ hours of overtime each week. These executives then have the stones to question if we worked 8 hrs???.
Our laptops take an additional 5 minutes to boot up with all the "productivity monitoring crzxp on them. Yet these clueless manager still don't know what we do.
Then to add insult to injury we have to waste at least 30 minutes everyday explaining to clueless "managers" what we did.
Wells fargo has lost class action lawsuits for not paying over time.
I cannot wait until this organization gets fined for violating labor laws.

I found out yesterday by complete accident that someone who's only been here for two years is making more than I am, even though I've been at Fossil for almost a decade and we're at the same level. I'm honestly furious about it, and I'm still trying to sort out what my next move should be because it feels like a line got crossed.

If you are an hourly lead, key holder, or associate you should not be required to text, answer calls, receiving calls, respond to a stores accidental or legitimate alarms when the store is closed, answer calls from alarm company due to false or legitimate alarm, or having to make calls any members of management regarding work related issues when you are not on the clock, including the store manager without proper compensation, this is a flagrant wage and hour violation from Belk. Any of these type of instances must be documented and paid as it is a work related matter.
Belk is now requiring hourly associates to act as salaried managers under the “key holder” and/or “lead” title which is a basic hourly associate position. Please beware and document any cases of where you are not being properly compensated.

Examples of alleged wage and hour abuses
Unpaid overtime:
Misclassification: Employees, including drivers and managers, were allegedly misclassified as "exempt" from overtime pay, even though they performed non-supervisory duties.

Folks, word on the oil patch is that back payments from vendors and contractors to Chevron employees are flowing faster than a gusher in the Permian! We're talking thousands of sneaky little envelopes stuffed with "overtime oopsies" and
"contractor compliments" enough to make your 401(k) jealous. One insider whispered it's like Christmas in July, but with more subpoenas.
And here's the kicker: maybe JUST maybe a mega federal audit is already lurking in the shadows, with IRS suits swapping briefcases for hard hats.

Chevron coughed up $30 million to the U.S. government: $25 million in disgorged profits, a $3 million SEC civil penalty, and $2 million to the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. This was the biggest Oil for Food penalty in the U.S. at the time, and it came under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) for improper payments.

In 2016, a federal indictment in Texas nailed two guys: a Chevron oil trader (James Potts) and a consultant (Gregory Corbitt) for a bribery scheme. Potts allegedly steered oil deals in Cameroon, Belarus, and Russia to cronies who kicked back cash via Cayman Islands accounts, fake invoices, and even straight-up cash drops. They hid it all with bogus tax returns and laundered funds through Swiss and Cayman banks. The scheme straight-up “deprived Chevron of the honest services” of its own employee, per the DOJ.

Closer to home, in 2019, Chevron sued a former Pascagoula, Mississippi refinery supervisor (Michael Matthews) for over a decade of kickbacks. He allegedly rigged contracts to buddies and contractors who paid him off with cash and favors, then approved fake invoices for ghost work pocketing the difference while sc--wing Chevron’s procurement rules.

These aren’t one offs. Chevron’s racked up $1.37 billion in penalties since 2000 across 691 violations, including environmental sc--w ups, wage theft, and more corruption probes.

IT GETS BETTTTERRRRR

20% Layoffs Amid Record Profits
In February 2025, Chevron dropped a bombshell: plans to slash 20% of its global workforce (that’s about 15,000-20,000 jobs) by the end of 2026, citing “efficiencies” in a post-merger world after swallowing Hess. This came hot on the heels of the company’s $21.4 billion profit in 2024 and ongoing billions in stock buybacks hardly a “tough times” story. Employees, many loyal for decades, got the axe to boost shareholder value, with little regard for families disrupted or communities gutted. It’s not corruption in the bribe sense, but it’s the epitome of greed: treating human talent as expendable when the balance sheet demands it. No golden parachutes for the rank-and-file, just pink slips and “thanks for the service.”

But you got some sc-m bags in here saying PDCE was the shady ones. Chevron’s overall Glassdoor rating sits at 3.8 out of 5, with only 71% of employees recommending it, and recent reviews noting a 6% drop in satisfaction over the past year often citing limited advancement opportunities,no raises well the ceo keeps getting bigger and bigger salaries, bureaucratic hurdles, and a profit driven atmosphere that prioritizes cost cutting over employee well being.

Chevron consolidated contracts with a handful of large national firms (some tied to prominent oil landowners, raising conflict of interest flags), sidelining veteran local subcontractors with 15+ years of safe service and stalling brownfield redevelopment projects that once supported families and small businesses. This shift is seen as profit-maximizing at the expense of the local economy, potentially creating monopolies, ethical lapses, and broader ripple effects like job losses for contractors and reduced industry growth.

Employees deserve better than being pawns in a profit game. We all need to stand up.
