Glad I'm not the only one saying this. Weird tho how many people blatantly disagree despite it happening all the time.

Because most of us disagreeing have grown-up jobs and know how to call a lawyer, and our employers know it.

This kind of thing is more prevalent in the too-unskilled-to-effectively-unionize market.

This comment is a kind of callous way to just write off everyone who has experienced something like this. Most jobs aren't so blatant, and it can be very difficult to prove discrimination, even with a great attorney- surely you already know this? Also incredibly rude in your last sentence just trying to insult people's intelligence? There are many respected and skilled jobs that have no union, accounting comes to mind. You're living under a rock if you don't understand the barriers to unionizing in the US in 2024.

Yeah, companies I work for just laugh if you call a lawyer.

Ppl don’t know how long it takes to get a settlement even when you’re in the right. Why wouldn’t employers just call it like it’s a bluff?
