as a person who started working in a factory at 14, it doesnt matter how much training or regulations you put in place. My workplace got me to do many illegal things, I was moving 50lb boxes on shelves that were atleast 15 ft high. I was never given a WHMIS before working with dangerous herbicide. I knew these things were dangerous, but I didnt question them because I was 14, and $11.80 seemed worth it. Child labour laws protect kids from themselves, because they will be coerced to ignore the regulations.
Minors also don't have the where with all to advocate for themselves if asked to do dangerous things
@rebel1612 or they are too scared to say anything
So kids are mature enough to pick their own gender and start the process of taking blockers and surgery, but not mature enough to work...... Interesting. Dems logic for ya.
I am so sorry that happened to you. That actually is terrible. It makes me so sad that children are still being exploited like that.
It makes me feel blessed that I had parents that made me not do the dangerous jobs on the farm , even if at the time it mad me mad since all the other kids got to do it. Sadly so many people’s parents had no choice but to make their kids work, but it is sad that that is the case. It is true that no regulation will change that happening.
They force adults to do illegal things at work to make sure jobs get finished especially if they are running behind, if adults can't say no in fear of being fired what chance would a kid have, we really are sliding backwards socially speaking
Honestly, my thoughts on the "pregnant woman cleaning up after her kids thing" is, was he on the flight with her? If so... why didn't HE pick it up so she didn't have to? If he wasn't... I have no strong feelings either way.
He wasn’t there
She was only 22 weeks, preg.. most 22 weeks of preg women work just fine.. I did..
@@Idellphany Good for you?
What if this pregnancy was especially difficult for the mother? Excessive morning sickness, cramps/headaches/nausea, exhaustion to name but a few things pregnant women go through.
Not to mention that she had another child to contend with on a flight.
A pregnant woman should not have to be on her hands and knee's cleaning up a mess with no-one else even bothering to check on her, whether she's 2, 22 or 36 weeks pregnant.
@@ShadowKamehameha32if she was that sick, she should have had help on the plane. Either him, a family member, a nanny, etc. Kids make messes - it's part of the territory. If you can't be responsible for them then you are the jerk. This wasn't two pieces of popcorn that were dropped - this was a lot
@@cpiccerilli "if she was that sick, she should have had help on the plane." but she didnt... how does that make her a jerk? Sometimes when you are a parent you get stuck in tough situations and you might need help from others, sometimes strangers. Im sorry that is such a burden for you.
Honestly if you ask me what a jerk is - the image of someone seeing a sick or pregnant woman alone with kids, not helping, making her pick food off the floor and thinking that she is a bad person... yeah that sounds like a jerk to me.
"Kids make messes - it's part of the territory" Yeah... exactly. If you cant service kids, then dont. Europe and most of the world is much better at accommodating kids but America is so lacking in community and just loves dumping on kids and parents.
The child labor law thing is insane . As someone who worked a illegal job while in high school I can tell you that you find out about unexpected consequences. When I was 16 I was exposed to asbestos and now it’s part of my regular check ups to this day
I've been working construction since I turned 15 should that be illegal?
@@regalgs9587 probably I was a handy man the money was great and I was good at what I did but I shouldn’t be exposed to hazard chemicals before I fully understood the risk
Just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean everyone did, I learned a lot and I would do it again. If you've been affected in a bad way and it was illegal you should take legal action
@@regalgs9587 yeah I just don’t think children should be out at risk . I’m all for trade programs etc but let kids be kids for as long as they can . I worked because my family gave me nothing . I think kids shouldn’t be aloud to do life endangering work because your subsidizing bad business practice with children’s futures
@@Infernofist666 I get that I think it should be up to the parents and business should be punished if the children are put in danger
She REALLY said "Don't worry about the money you are getting, worry about the money I'm getting."
Like the audacity.

As someone who was a high schooler with a part time job during the covid labor shortage- these labor laws are a terrible idea. Me and my fellow high school part timers were constantly worked the maximum amount of hours possible to make up for the lack of adult workers in fast food and often had to clock out in the middle of shifts because we reached the 40 hour limit for our state. Since this was during the school year, our grades suffered and one person I knew couldn’t graduate because of it. These teens don’t know that they are allowed to advocate for better hours because it’s their first job and are consequently exploited for their labor. This bill will just make it worse.
It sounds like they also might need to look at laws surrounding how young workers are informed of their rights and how their rights and dignity are maintained at work where you guys are. I genuinely wonder though if there’s a chance that a reasonable balance between the two could create future adults who have a much healthier approach to work not only for “the company” but for their own well-being. I’m sorry you had to experience exploitation like that 😞
Even as an adult , companies will exploit you beyond what they're allowed if you don't protest and precisely know your rights as a worker .
Kids are often the victim of that kind of behaviour because they're generally not as knowledgeable on these issues.
I remember my first job when I was 16 , I worked at a Kebab shop for two months and never got paid , but at least the worst thing that could happen to me on the job was getting small burns .
This bill will get children killed all in the name of greed .

Even calling it a "labor shortage" is playing into their hands. It's not a labor shortage; it's a wage shortage. Full stop.
Politicians trying to change child labor laws instead of paying actual adults real wages is insane. My occupation is in safety and the stuff I've seen is crazy I can't imagine children in these environments. INSANE
they only care if the child's not born yet. once the child is, they couldnt care less
@@theoriginalbreakage This is absolutely Iowa these days and it makes me sick. I wish I could leave.
Love the framing "we're opening up opportunities for kids to help their family" maybe just pay their parents right so their kids don't have to work
I agree! Someone I know works with child labor and it's because the kids "need to work for their families to survive." Instead of paying right... lets just get the kids workin, too!
Politicians don't pay people.
Honestly it’s disturbing watching love is blind and CONSTANTLY seeing alcohol. There’s a scene where Kwame gets rejected and he just starts chugging from the bottle because someone else got his girl that’s particularly concerning for the mental health of these contestants
But yet you still watch it.
@@rootaficationism True. I mean, we can all be better in terms of what we consume media-wise.. but also that doesn't let production companies off the hook for reckless dehumanizing practices in the name of content.
What happened with that clip of the guy groping that girl? That was unbelievable 😯
@Pil3driverWaltz they had or were just about to get engaged formally but either way they were in a relationship of some sort. But then again he was/is a complete a**hole. He now says how he was never attracted to her because she is fat and bunch of other crap like that.
@Khaleelah Gilcreast oh ok, thanks for that. Yeah what an a**hole. The show seems wild
I work in the solid waste industry, and we use the equipment they want to let teenagers use. The idea of letting children work at my job, an industry also high on the labor deaths, is so freaking terrifying. There are dangers that people don't really think about until you get into it- operating machinery on steep slopes, the risk of lightning hitting equipment during storms (because, yes, not every job site takes storms seriously), and in general, flying debris. We had someone at work get a concussion after a piece of wood broke through a window and hit his head as he was crushing it
They know, they just don’t care.
Going to the child labour laws, I remember a story not too long ago discussing how huge numbers of migrant kids had been essentially trafficked to the US and were working in the EXACT dangerous industries that they are now trying to legalize. This whole thing wreaks of a cover to help the companies that are exploiting these children. It is not about earning and learning, it is about exploiting the vulnerable for a cheaper labour force to further profits.
From that point of view though, at least if the jobs are legalized they can create more laws around it to make the environment safer. Similar to the legalization of weed/psychedelics brought a lot of reform and cleaned up the industry. Still a bad idea though, but at least theres kind of an argument there.
Edit: guys, if youre replying to argue with me, I already said originally was a stupid bad idea. Basically I was playing devils advocate.
@@paranormalsoulz They wont though, Republicans are also anti-worker-safety and anti-corporate-liability.
And the USA dares to say they dont have slavery in their country. What a disgusting lie
@@paranormalsoulz I actually highly doubt they would go through any lengths to make it safer, especially if it's migrant children who they don't see as legal or legit.
@@paranormalsoulz I believe a lot of it was pretty much legal though and that was a big problem. Not the kids who were on roofing jobs and such, where at least one migrant child was killed, but I don't believe all of it was unlawful.
Oh Jesus H Christ. I freaking CALLED the sleep deprivation torture while watching Season 1 of Love is Blind. They NEVER showed where they slept or rested. Just the social area and pods. Their on-camera behavior was a mix of mania and euphoria with their eyes all watery. Honestly, an identical experience to the day after all-nighters.
Bass watching his pregnant wife on her hands and knees cleaning up popcorn: "Should I tell her don't worry I got it? Nah I'll take a photo a tweet about it"
For real!
Literally I was like where was he?!?
Exactly my thoughts. Hopefully he helped after sending th tweet.
It seems like he wasn’t there just her
@@IAmJeka Oh, ok. That actually makes things a lot different.
Story 1, in my experience of having 3 children. If you are extremely apologetic and try to clean up, most will say of don't worry I can do that. If you act entitled then sympathy goes out the window. It would have been a different tweet if she had said sorry I'll try and clean it up. Because they would have been more inclined to help her.
I agree - I get the feeling that athlete was leaving out some information to make us more sympathetic towards the wife
This reminds me of a time when my dad and I were in a Walmart and he spilled a soda on the ground. I swear every employee glared at him until he said to the nearest one "got any paper towels?" When he finished cleaning up his spill, he had two other employees helping him and they were all chatting and laughing.
In general people are a lot more willing to help you if you treat them like people instead of your personal maid.
Yup. He gives off the vibes of someone who makes a mess in a movie theater and then just says they have people to clean this.
... so why didn't he step in to help his pregnant wife and to clean up his kid's mess 🤷🏻♀️ I don't think he realizes the amount of time the cleaning crew actually spends cleaning the entire plane for each seat. Be responsible for your child.
Anyone who's worked at a movie theater can tell you, when that popcorn get's stepped on and ground in it suuuuuuucks to clean it up then.
That CEO just gave a masterclass in how to tank employee morale and productivity going into a new year.
Clearly she doesn't care for the people so they shouldn't care if the company does well.
That Child Labor law is going to be used in a way to say industries are not exploit Undocumented children like with the recent Meat Packing incident. Protecting corporations from repercussions of inhumane practices
Idk. My kids (as an agriculture educator) already do hours in those specialities within their vo tech programs but currently get no compensation for the hours they do in field work to finish their program work. I hated that my kids were expected to have in-field work experience but couldnt get paid for it. Yet, they also couldn't do work in "safer" fields because they were too busy doing the career tech hours instead and couldnt work a normal job.
@@frankied.roosevelt6232 you may want to take a look at how employers are pretty much exempt from liability in these bills. Your kids won't have any recourse for damages done by unsafe work conditions. And kids are less likely to fight, especially the migrant kids they are going to be looking to hire
@@heartdragon2386 fair, but thsy also arent getting those things now.
@@frankied.roosevelt6232 take into consideration that they are saying a child can't do the job until a parent signs off on it. This potentially meaning that instead of the possibility of a VO program or whatever it is having the responsibility to make certain children are safe while doing the work they do as a voluntary learning objective, leaves them at liability for anything that goes wrong, while a parent signing off on a teen job may mean that any sort of liability that may pop up could be left at the feet of the parents, nothing to the workplace that could have unsafe conditions. People definitely do not always follow safe working rules/guidelines. There are people who learn the job, then learn all the shortcuts, cutting out the safety aspect because speed is valued above safety. The time "saved" by those unsafe working habits then become the benchmark as to what the employer expects in production, and then you have a situation where people can't always keep up, so unsafe working habits are taught to others in order to maintain expectations. It's shit.
@@frankied.roosevelt6232 how does ANY of that negate what the original comment said? Your children are fine either way apparently. The law isnt targeting children who are already financially and legally taken care of. Its targeting children who the law does not protect AT ALL.
We are slashing education and reducing child labor laws. How can this go wrong?
We need to get them working as soon as possible else they will realize. Their idea of freedom is gone and you ain't fixing this. Reading and math will rule, I'm finally gonna be cool.
When I was 22 weeks pregnant I would really have struggled to get up and down off the floor, but I would have tried to pick up what I could reach. Or gotbthe kids to pick up after themselves. Seems like everyone in this situation got a bit carried away.
I totally agree with this. Yes, you should be responsible for your kid and not actively make poorly paid people's jobs harder but, you couldn't have provided a broom or something? Is there really no basic cleaning supplies on a plane? I think making her hand pick them up while pregnant was a bit much. Though, I agree, probably a good idea to have the kid responsible for the mess be the one to clean it either way.
Eh judging by how the husband double downed stating it’s the airline’s responsibility to clean up, we can almost assume she just sat back and let her kids make a total mess. I’d be pissed if I was a stewardess, it’s not like this is their house and they’re the maids or something. The world doesn’t revolve around this woman and her kids, as a parent you’re responsible for your children’s actions. Lol It’s so strange to me that people don’t find her action’s ridiculously rude and entitled.
And if you're in a position like that on the floor and the plane experiences a lot of turbulence..?
The point of the issue here is a 22 week pregnant woman (regardless of her financial circumstances) was made to clean up the mess of her child on an airplane.
My husband used to be the cleaning crew for multiple airlines, and yes they do have tight turn arounds. As a pregnant woman myself I can see both sides here and the fault lies on both sides.
1) to the airline, Don’t serve popcorn if you don’t want a mess (if this was an adult with a medical condition, like Parkinson’s or cerebral palsy, this is going to be an issue too)
And
2) Parents do have a responsibility to watch their kids. If the child can not handle a snack like popcorn or if they are known to be messy, perhaps you pack extras of non messy snacks or hand your child the snack in smaller portions to insure a cleaner experience for you and your child.
This is a shit situation all around and both sides are at fault.
Never heard of a CEO who understands what actual workers go through.
Well, if this isn't proof enough, they most definitely exist. 😊 I only wish all CEOs were like that CEO...or Bill Gates. :-(
That one guy who raised everyone's salaries after lowering his to 75k.
There are actual examples at some Japanese companies.
If people want an example of, "When the exception proves the rule" ... here it is. Everyone's naming singular standout examples over decades of televised shows.
There are hundreds of thousands of CEOs. When you're only able to name a handful of standouts ... the problem is with the very concept of CEOs. Capitalism is a disgusting, dehumanizing system. The winners lose all humanity and the losers die. If you think that's a _good_ system, you need to learn what "good" even means.
@@mm1234Xxx Those companies are also exceptions. Reminder that Japanese work culture is so inhumane that they literally have a problem where people die from overwork.
This puts a whole new perspective on Love Is Blind. There were people that I literally thought were crazy by the way they were acting - not realizing that these horrible working conditions played a role in how they reacted.
When I was pregnant, my OBGYN (who had multiple patients who also had barns) told me I could do anything while pregnant that I had done before I was pregnant, so long as it didn't hurt. I was working horses (from the ground AND in the saddle), moving hay bales, carrying 50lb bags of feed, all the normal barn chores, right up until I went to the hospital, 4 day AFTER my due date.
This woman can get down and pick up some popcorn. If she can't, her kids certainly can. Never a bad time to teach kids how to clean up after themselves, ESPECIALLY if it's an easily picked-up mess someone else would have to clean up on top of their usual duties. Unless you're raising them to be entitled and spoiled.
Being such a god fearing man, why didn’t he pick them up if she’s pregnant? It’s a I bring the money in relationship
@@jacklamb2904 I don't think he was on the flight with her (I believe she was flying to meet him?), but I also don't think he'd have picked up the popcorn either. Way too much entitlement all around.
With how cramped airplanes are I could see thinking the clean up crew that probably had a broom and dust pan could handle some popcorn vs a pregnant woman on her hands and knees in a tight space
@@AriannaGi I’m confused as to how the crew “made her” do this. Sounds more like someone asked her to please tidy up the mess and she relayed it to her husband as this demeaning thing (probably mad he didn’t arrange private jet for them)
So you had a smooth pregnancy. Not everyone is the same, dude.
I live in Iowa, and this roll back on child labor laws is just one of the many things the law makers here are doing that makes me nervous. I purposefully moved out of the state so I could start a family because some of the abortion laws could have put my life at risk because of a medical condition. I had to move back with my family for financial reasons, and it feels like every week I hear about news laws being passed here that could be detrimental to my children and others in our community. It is hard to feel so powerless every day living in a state like Iowa. I vote, I participate I my community, and yet it seems that only the far right are heard here. It’s depressing and defeating. I’m over it.
so defeating… no matter how much we vote in this state it doesn’t matter. 😢

Why is protesting so inexistant in the us?
@@salomi311 Because the last time we did it in the George Floyd scandal and the 2020 riots, armed military police shot and fucking killed a ton of people. The fear the government has slowly built and used has worked effectively, and the US is such a large country the entire country would have to rise up all at once to overthrow the government.
@@salomi311because counter protest activities by the police are very deadly. Like in the 2020 blm protests multiple people where permanently blinded/lost eyes by police weapons trying to stop the protests. Not the mention there are people who aren’t police that will counter protest because the actually believe these stuff is good/ok to do who bring very effective firearms to intimidate people into backing down
The Love is Blind story is making me strongly believe that we need another worker reform including mental services as a basic necessity. Why is it rather we punish companies if we break a bone on the job but not if our minds become trashed? How many companies subject people to conditions that we'd refer to as "detrimental to our mental health."
Companies can't just break people minds and spirits then walk off richer and better for it. We need reform.
Exactly! I had an intense factory job that require laser focus on the tasks at hand, but they had us working 4 12-hour shifts a week (with overtime encouraged). Not a big deal at all until you learn that your schedule is wildly inconsistent and you alternate between the night shift and day shift every 2 weeks with only a guaranteed 2 day adjustment period. That shit f**ks with you.
It's becoming a standard in higher end television. They're called mental health coordinators in their onset therapists that are available and help look over the practices while on set. They would definitely were not the norm 10 years ago but it is a change, same as intimacy coordinators
As an Iowan myself it's kind of sad. I remember being forced to work when I was 15 because my father wanted me to take over payments for my car, and while it did a lot of good, I think it really did a lot of harm to me in the long run as well. Opening up child labor laws doesn't give kids options, it's gives parents options to pressure their kids into things.
Yeah same here. I did not think I could say anything. Who would you go to, I had no idea.
Yeah child Labour laws are there to protect kids, so many are gonna be exploited by either their parents or workplace its sad :/
I always viewed it from the angle of kids signing up for jobs they have no concept for the danger of. Like, the younger you are the worse your judgement is, that's just a fact. However, this is also a very interesting (and dangerous) viewpoint I had not even considered, and just makes the situation that much more worse.
Oh no, you had to work for the perks of life instead of being handed that stuff like most
@@user-white007 The vast majority of your life you will work. Children need to work ON SCHOOL.
The texts that Jackie leaked literally shows a producer pressuring her into an interview when she was telling them that she had to go see her dying father. Disgusting.
I’m a manager in fine dining and let me tell you we truly love the parents who bring their offspring in with their own personal snacks and love when they allow them to throw it around like confetti and leave it for us to clean up it’s always the highlight of our shift. The other guests truly enjoy watching the show and especially love when they allow them to run around and scream like monkeys, it’s like all the money they spent is truly worth it because they get a front row zoo show. Mind you I said fine dining not Applebees smh.
😂😂😂😂
I teach in Iowa and I can guarantee you that if they let kids start working dangerous jobs, it’s going to be those kids who are busting their asses trying to support their families that are gonna get survival-moded into those jobs.
Try Michigan, we are getting better all the time
I need to know who the hell ever thought it was alright for a teenager to serve alcohol 😤. Bad enough that an 18 year old soldier isn't able to drink but is somehow old enough to be drafted to take another human's life. If you can't even buy alochol until you're 21, why in the hell should it be legal to serve it under that age?!
And agreed, you open the door to kids working more hours, it's not going to be an option for a lot of kids, it's going to be pushed upon them as a mandate from their families. I don't want children, but I used to think that when I did, I would never allow my child to work in their teens, unless they absolutely wanted to and I would be fighting them on that at every step. School is exhausting enough as is, and summer breaks are precious.
As adults, we don't get those anymore. We have bills and responsibilities. Only if you're fortunate enough to get vacation time or can afford it do you get some time off and in most cases, it damn sure isn't going to be three whole months. I feel kids should enjoy their summers as much as they can because never again will they have both their youth and legal freedom to not work during those weeks. I had a paid internship my second senior semester of high school, and while being broke for the summer wasn't great, just being able to sleep in and stay up late was great. I really miss that.
That’s the point. Force the kids to barely get a GED (if they can even keep up with high school after working overnight) and cause them to stay in these fields and not achieve a proper education. Then, they can be controlled and manipulated easier by the government who will exploit them.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley Yeah, it's hard to watch kids who basically have to start adulthood at like fourteen because they got dealt a bad hand. Having a childhood feels like such a normal thing when you're in it, but when you look back and realize some people just don't get that magical experience, it's haunting. On the other hand, if I ever have kids, I will make them spend at least one summer in food service, a labor intensive job, or volunteer work because I want them to understand and respect the people who work those jobs and so they don't turn into the types of fools who can't see the obvious issues with this law.
@@FillYouWithMe Kim wants her underclass
As someone who is a custodian and has been a custodian for almost 8 years now, the flight attendant situation frustrates me.
While we do get paid to clean up, it’s different when the people who made the mess just don’t care. I don’t mind cleaning up vomit but if I have to deal with a mess from someone who didn’t give a shit about taking care of their surroundings then I’m gonna be a little peeved. It’s about the respect, not the level of mess you create.
Cleaning up vomit from someone who is on their first flight and didn’t know they would throw up is A LOT different than cleaning up vomit from a passenger that looks you straight in the eyes and then vomits out of spite just for you to clean it up.
Same job, different situations. I feel like we’re missing a lot of context of the conversation between the FA and the mother but I still feel like the FA is in the right.
@@Not_Ciel yeah like accidents do happen, it’s okay. But when it’s not an accident and it could have been prevented/mitigated then I’ll start to take issue.
If they were spilling the popcorn on purpose, vacuum it up, no more popcorn for any of them. If they deliberately make a mess, that should be an extra charge, and they'll be the ines sitting in the mess - no seat change allowed
@@Water-eddown yea I agree. Like sure, they spilled popcorn but also, did the kids spill the popcorn? If so, shouldn’t the mother have known better than to just give it to their kids? I don’t know man, I just see a lot more scenarios where it’s the mother’s fault.
@@Not_Ciel omg look at the picture. those kids are tiny and the mom pregnant and probably was overwhelmed because flying with kids is feakin hard.
Not helping is in the wrong.
Whenever we have my niece 3 and especially my nephew nearly 1 in a restaurant, I always try to clean up their mess. I don't want the poor wait staff to have to pick up loads of, no doubt soggy, food off the floor that isn't their job. It boils down to respect in my eyes
Are you pregnant while that happens? Are stuck in an inclosed space where it's hard to maneuver your already difficult to maneuver pregnant body? Was the amount they spilled miniscule?
I have always cleaned up my child messing always will my wife has as well. That being said that is a fairly unique situation to be in. I know if my child spilled something on an airplane and my wife was flying alone while she was pregnant there'd be very little possibility physically being capable of doing that mainly due to the cramped space
@made you look Not going to speak to your situation or hers but my wife was perfectly mobile at 5 months in fact she would likely make fun of me if I even suggested she wasnt.
We also don't really know the situation. I went back to look at that picture, and there looks to be popcorn all over the place this doesnt look like a couple of dropped kernels or an accidental spill. ( for all those people using the 'you wouldn't get a sick person to clean' VERY different situation.
If I was watching a mom letting her kids be careless with a snack that had been provided, yes, I would absolutely expect them to look after their own house and be respectful to the people working there.
But to each their own.
We thank you
Then don’t allow them to throw around popcorn and crap if you’re unable to clean up after your children… Your children, your responsibility
@@justdoinmything it may not be your intention but you’re essentially saying because she was pregnant and flying alone that she’s no longer responsible for her children. Iol It’s just crazy entitled. Most people would automatically clean any mess their child made. The fact that they had to tell her suggests she just sat back and watched her kids make a mess like it was their house and the maid can clean it.
You know how crazy it is to hear about the CEO of your company make a wild statement like that? Especially crazier to think I learned about this from Philip of all places
Iowan factory worker here. If I start seeing kids at work, I'm gonna take advantage of their impressionable minds and union pill them.
An a non Iowan factory worker who is in a union: I support this message.
Nice.
I'm leery of unions (after seeing how either oppressive they are in the case of police unions or damn near worthless as is the case of teacher unions), but this is *exactly* what they're for, so union pill those kids.
The Love is Blind controversy definitely makes sense. Even with it being heavily edited, you get glimpses of how much contestants suffered. There are mentions made of falling asleep during dates, which they laugh about, but indicates that they were sleep deprived. And there are alot of break downs caught on camera, which doesn't make sense in the context of what's actually happening on screen. Until you realise they're under constant scrutiny and their every movement is orchestrated by the production company. The buy out clause effectively makes it impossible for them to leave the process for fear of financial ruin.
yeah, now it just makes the Tiffany situation a lot less random :( like it wasn't just happenstance she had a long day....
As someone with ADHD and Dyslexia, Phil abd the team highlighting the parts to read is so useful XD
And*
I feel like the proposal of this child labor bill is some way for those companies previously caught exploiting child labor to try to get away with it
Im from Iowa & I think this child labor law is absolutely ridiculous. In 2008 our state deported a bunch of children & families for being caught working at a meat processing plant in Postville. The owners of the company were charged for allowing this to happen. Now in 2023 it’s okay for kids to go to work in these places?! This isn’t just some cute after school job program, this is child labor. It seems like old Kimmy & her friends are thinking bass ackwards lately though.
It's absolutely wild to me that these legislatures are not only ok with exploiting children, they're eager for it. I'm still suspicious that it's just a tactic to pad the labor percentages considering adults are pushing for more benefits, more reasonable pay, and to be treated like human beings rather than machines. Oh and these companies/corporations don't even have to pay the kids minimum wage, so instead of hiring one adult at a reasonable wage they can instead hire 2-3 kids. It's just another way for these huge companies to take advantage of people, and they funnel enough money into the legislatures *cough* (republicans) pockets that they finally got some footing to pass a vote.
I'm sure there's nothing shady going on like those same meat processing companies helping to fund the campaigns of your Republican members of the State legislature. They've clearly been bought and paid for.
The lessons of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries have been lost on today’s capitalists, it would seem. The reason we moved away from child labor was that it killed or maimed children (bad for PR, bad for business) and because paying an adult a decent wage meant getting someone who would be loyal to the company and cultivate native knowledge of processes. We no longer want to pay adults a living wage, so this just seems par for the regressive course. The GOP has managed to make “socialism” a frightening word, but that’s exactly what we need right now.
No this is intentional. This has been the business interest's agenda ever since tobacco/smoking was heavily regulated for public health concerns. Since then business has been intentionally fighting in an effort to bring global business practices back to the gilded age. That is their goal to bring society back to those conditions. Everyone that is playing their part does so knowingly and intentionally. And their biggest point of leverage is everyone assumes they have no ill intent and are just ignorant. So they continually bring us closer and closer, step by step, to that goal, all the while playing the part of the well intentioned fool preying on society's forgiveness to not make them face the consequences their actions should demand.
These are things I discovered when looking into the federalist society and lobbying efforts against climate action. The tobacco industry pretty much convinced all of American business onto this plan shortly after they were regulated. Some things go farther back ofc but that's what set a lot of things off into motion.
It's just so they don't have to increase minimum wage.
The thing that strikes me the most about the love is blind controversy is the charging contestants $50K for backing out. Most jobs, if you quit you just stop getting paid. Hanging that threat over them amounts to financial compulsion/coercion. Combine that with the exploitative wage theft via less than half CA minimum wage, and this amounts to basically forced labor. Petsmart allegedly does something similar to their pet groomers too.
Whole situation is fucked but it's common to lose part of your compensation if you break a contract early. It makes total sense depending on how/how much they were compensated in the first place
I am shocked by the allegations of not letting the cast sleep BUT the holding water back I can see. I’ve seen all the seasons and I always thought everyone was drinking a lot…it’s a shame the conditions are so bad 😢
My 3 favourite shows at the time (Lost, Heroes and Prison Break) were all affected in that writers strike. Was a sad time indeed.
👏👏👏
Lost could have been such a banger. It definitely started as a banger but then it went downhill*sigh
I think about this all the time. There's hardly any shows now that can match the first season of Heroes and Prison Break.
As someone that has experienced being in solitary confinement, the love is blind mental health issues are pretty consistent with many from solitary. This makes sense spending most your time in a confined windowless room. I just want to point out, though it might not be quite as bad, solitary is literally torture. Even remotely simulating it is not okay unless they are explicitly told the risks.
Yea i was thinking that myself. Like contract or no, how is it legal that they've basically said we are putting you in solitary confinement and you can't leave and we probably won't provide you with a normal sleep schedule or normal amounts of food. That pme Mr. Beast did was far more ethical.
a pornbot stole your comment, you might wanna report it
@@frostfang1 Yeah, I think the Mr Beast thing is in a grey area but totally reasonable in comparison to this.
That CEO clip is what a lot of executives wish they could say when employees ask why they're being treated as subhuman.
Eat the fucking rich
A buddy of mine used to work on a reality tv show and he told me how they would only give the cast members alcohol and barely gave them any water. He said they do it because that’s how you get the crazy footage.
Its absolutely insane that Bass LET his pregnant wife clean up the mess and didn't do it for her if he is so concerned about her picking up their children's mess while pregnant. Or another option is that the 5 y.o. could have picked up the mess? 5 is old enough to put away toys so its old enough to pick up the mess
exactly my thoughts.
the wording makes it seem like he wasnt on the plane
@@Heatranoveryouyeah he obviously wasn't, people can't think for themselves lol
@@Heatranoveryou He's the one who took the picture.
I don't know how anyone can say that the contestants "signed up" to be starved and isolated so that they could be exploited for clips and soundbites. That is actual torture, and it was all caught on camera and broadcast to millions of people. Disturbing.
Not to mention a 50k fee if you leave early, essentially you're forced to stay. Who has 50k laying around to pay that?
Its basically human abuse. This is illegal in all the sense. Netflix needs to be shut down for housing such a show. Knowing how these people operate.
Considering a friend of mine got kicked out and basically forced him into the military to make ends meet a few years ago for not doing exactly what they wanted, I fear for any *child* with malicious parents in Iowa.
Military just like gangs love to groom kids. It's their main source of employment. My 6th grade daughter came home saying she wanted to join their rotc bs because they were pushing some shit at the school.
@Vaccinated Kid Bruh get outta here ya clickbaiter.
@Vaccinated Kid dont click the link its sketch asf
How old was the friend and what was he doing instead of what they wanted him to do? Because if the friend was 24+ OR if he wanted to sit on the couch and play video games, or even vlogging on the computer unless he's making enough to pay his share of the bills, instead of doing what they wanted. In those cases, they probably didn't kick him out soon enough.
The only way this is on the parents is if the friend was really young when they kicked him out, and if not, was he paying his share of the bills? Parents have no obligation to pay for/ support their children into adulthood, but I think they should give them a full year to 'discover themselves' then several years to try to get established before they kick their child out.
My parents kicked me out at a young age, and even before that sent me away to special school and considered making me a ward of the court. After a failed attempt at college, I was told to get a job or find somewhere else to live. By the time I was 19 I was living elsewhere.
@@JayLandon64 That's a whole lot of utterly meaningless words...
That popcorn thing makes me think of all the warnings on united states products. I can just see it in the future: "By purchasing any food on the flight, I agree to not intentionally or repeatedly throw said food items on the floor, nor will I let a child in my care do so. If this term of service is broken I agree to pay a fine of $1,000 per instance."
The difference between a child repeatedly throwing popcorn with a mother not caring to stop them and a person throwing up is the difference between deliberately putting your responsibility on someone else and failing to perform your responsibility despite best effort due to illness or injury. Context matters.
5.5 months pregnant may or may not be visible depending on several factors like body type and clothing. If a random Karen who refuses to stop their kid from throwing popcorn around claims to be pregnant but it doesn't look like they are pregnant then people would just unanimously celebrate the flight attendant that makes them pick up the mess they *themself* let happen. Context matters.
In this case, with them really being pregnant it might have been a bit over the top to have them get down on the floor to clean up their mess. I wouldn't have seen an issue if she was provided a floor-brushset however. Of course, there's a lot of assumptions going around, it could literally be anything from a fit young healthy mother who laughed at their kid making a mess all the way to a kid spilling a whole bowl of popcorn at once with an airsick mother simply missing the opportunity to stop the mess from happening. Context. Matters.
PS, in my experience it's only united states has that many warnings on their products, most of the rest of the world relies on common sense. Though sadly that's being eroded over the years so it might be the same everywhere eventually. Idiocy is sadly contagious.
About the popcorn incident. I think she should have made an effort to clean up at the bare minimum tried. 22 weeks pregnant doesn’t stop you from at least trying. If I was next to her and seeing her struggle, I would have helped. Seeing two kids with a mom traveling alone deserves a bit of grace and understanding though.
I feel like there were reasons we made child labor laws to begin with. I wonder what those reasons could have been.
The GOP doesn't know. They pretend US history doesn't exist.

Petition to have Phil start tomorrow's show with a pity city rant regarding the lack of outro on this episode!!
Recently, there was issues at my job because they weren't actually letting me do my job. I work at a grocery store and I told them when I was hired over a year ago I don't feel comfortable on register because I'm dyslexic. They said that's not a problem. On the schedule I'm listed as "Grocery", meaning I stock and organize shelves. But they always have me on register even when the other cashiers are right there not doing anything. I kept complaining about it until a couple weeks ago when I went to HR and complained about it. He literally said to me, "Regardless of what the schedule says, your JOB is to put as much money as possible into [store owner]'s pocket". I'm now looking for another job. This place is too toxic.
As a former child of abuse&poverty I hope to hell those laws don't go through. My birther had me working whatever I could from 10 onwards. Papers, dog doo, babysitting, elderly hair&nails.if she could have had me in a hourly paying job before 15? 😢 fuuuuu. My life would have been even more hell.
While watching Love is Blind, I was always shocked at how many people were holding glasses of alcohol 24/7. There’s even one contestant from Season 1 named Jessica who became kind of infamous for her seemingly excessive alcohol consumption. Crazy to think it might’ve not been her fault, and that she could’ve been unfairly labeled by the whole world as an alcoholic.
Is self control not an aspect?
@@achoobydoDid you not hear that they starved a girl and only gave her alcohol to drink until she passed out. If you have nothing to eat or drink for hours, but there is a champagne glass sitting there, you're gonna drink the champagne.
Those f****king metal glasses I tell you! I knew they weren't just for show
The first two stories hit home for me because I'm a janitor and a janitor at a competing furniture company lmao! As far as the cleaning, I always go with if you have the ability to clean up your own mess you should. If it doesn't require equipment (i.e. a mop bucket or chemicals) and you're able to you shouldn't expect a cleaning crew to do it. They have other stuff they need to do 9 times out of 10. And my office furniture company was able to pull off a 5% bonus after last year for everyone and if they pulled what she did there would be riots lmao
In regards to the airplane popcorn story - i think in general if you take a child on a plane they are your responsibility. While it would’ve been nice for the flight attendants to help we could be missing important information. Like maybe the mess was much worse than they were letting on. Or maybe she was being entitled. We’ll never know
the love is blind scene where rhul had a panic attack makes so much more sense with the context of her being paranoid about cameras tbh
it also explains why some of the people on the show who're villainized end up being portrayed completely different in the after the altar episodes- like shaina and jessica
The whole show looked gross… the clip Phil showed where a guy and girl meet physically for the first time and he forces kisses on her and grabs her butt made me feel really uncomfortable, so I can only imagine how she felt, and then to air it? If the producers had that attitude facing the audience, I can’t imagine what the contestants had to go through behind the scenes. Hope they get justice
@@noderoad I promise you, it doesn't get any better. That same dude then goes on to tell pretty much everyone that his fiancée is too fat and ugly for him and he's not attracted to her at all because she is so physically disgusting. Like, doesn't even hide it.
@@evalynn1863 oh gosh, it makes me despair for humanity sometimes. Hope she got dealt a better hand eventually
Yeah, I enjoyed the first few seasons but after season 2 it felt like it did not have anyone's best interests at heart. It is one thing to make alcohol accessible, it is another to force them to drink constantly.
@@noderoad I'm not sure what she's doing now, but she actually went on a couple of dates with another contestant that she was really close with in the pods. And he seemed like a genuine sweetheart. Either way, she deserved so much better than that asshat
It's really telling that they're opening up the child jobs to the jobs that are the most dangerous and most abusive while also paying like crap. It's a race to the bottom to ignore safety in residential roofing
But... but they are pro-life! This doesn't make sense 🤔 .....
I don't understand why Americans think teenagers doing roofing is such a big deal. It is a common thing to start doing work experience in my country at the age of 14, 15, 16 and the most common ones picked are construction and mechanics, specifically car mechanics.
Just as an example, I started doing part-time bricky's labouring when I was 13 and ended up pursuing work experience with that job through schooling and because of that I had a full-time job available to me if I so wanted at 16 and by 18 I had the option to open my own business as a fully qualified subcontractor.

@@WikiK1d for now…
I formerly worked production for a reality TV company (not Kinetic, but actually a larger network that airs a lot of reality tv. Think hard, but not too hard lol). I specifically was responsible for taking “story notes” - which meant that I sat on set with headphones and screens in my face listening to everything said and watching everything that happened and taking real time notes of anything noteworthy - drama, conversations between cast, funny looks, possibilities for cut always, etc). The amount of pot stirring I witnessed from crew and producers was astounding. They definitely pushed alcohol and kept people from being able to have private conversations or any kind of situation diffusion. For example, if one character was talking about another character, possibly cheating on her, she would want to take out her phone and immediately call or text the person to see where they were, and confirm or prove it wasn’t happening. However, crew and producers would either not let them, or refused to give them their phone, because watching them spiral while thinking about, talking about, and worrying about the situation was far more dramatic. At times, I felt so incredibly terrible for the people involved. I felt like some of the things that happened were probably technically illegal, but they happened so fast and we were on such a short timeline, there was no time to ask questions or raise concerns. I know the people involved definitely signed up to be there, but there’s absolutely no way that they could have fully understood what they were signing up for. I totally believe that the LiB set was a hot mess and that they feigned incompetence to create a hostile environment that produced more drama. Kind of terrible :(

As an Iowan, the child labor laws issue is very unsurprising. I’ve had friends in high school working over the summer in detassling (crop/field work) telling horror stories about the harsh conditions like it was the norm. Our state will do anything they can to juice money out of us, under Kim Reynolds.
omg the throwback in the end with the sxephil song 😢❤
Thanks
Just remember the reason they want children to work is because you can pay them less and companies want to always pay workers as little as possible. This is doubly important for soulless companies right now, when workers are realising how vital they are and demanding better pay and conditions.
That childhood labor laws are being rolled back is insane to me. With how much time my history classes spent on the Industrial Revolution and the following labor movements...I can't believe how backward things are going. And like, I knew a lot of kids who went to vocational/technical schools, which is great and should be a standard option for education. But it was for HVAC techs and hospitality jobs under the direct supervision of teachers, not fucking roofing houses!
Just some middle schoolers working at slaughter houses
Ow yeah this is going to destroy many children’s futures
Regan started this descent back into hyper capitalist madness and we need people who actually will fight against it with the anti-trust laws and labor laws to stop it. And neither American political party is gonna do that...
It's what happens when companies are allowed to line pockets of the elected liars making the laws. It's disgusting
I'm not surprised. People will think of and point to the good examples of kids earning extra money for school or to save for college. Also they will say the kids are being trained so they can get a full time job when they get out of school. They won't talk about the inevitable abuses that will happen but will be protected because of this law.
You earned my like from the last seconds of the video. Not needed all the time but nostalgia is nice to see. Love the content and keep it up
Hey, love the Dr. Horrible shoutout! Great little show during the past strike!
As a theater worker my biggest peeve is when people leave the biggest messes and not telling us. All you need to do is tell the podium guy "Hey we spilled a drink/popcorn/food" so we can get the appropriate cleaning supplies or amount of people to clean that theater??
Hope your work days give you more joy than grief.
Ditto, Restraunt industry here. I've cleaned up shitty bathrooms and honestly, I'd rather the people give me a heads up that they shit on the wall than find it by surprise...
also a theater worker, ditto. would've saved me getting cut on broken glass after a showing of top gun.
As a former janitor, I agree. It was literally my job to clean up your (literal) shit. You just gotta *tell me* about these things.
@@alissathesinger had to deal with that today, except it wasn't shit and boy howdy its the absolute worse
The Love Is Blind story is what me and my girlfriend constantly notice when watching. The contestants look visibly inebriated a lot! And the complete lack of any kind of mental health support for this crazy experiment doesn’t make sense either. But I also think that since Netflix probably filmed this all very quickly, next seasons are probably already filmed that they won’t take this criticism and do anything with it until way later
My aunty was on Australian Married at First Sight and basically said it wad the exact same sort of produce experience. They starve you and sleep deprive you and pump you with alcohol to instigate negative interactions between contestants/participants.
Weather you sign a contract or not there should be line drawn for things that seem to be borderline abuse to create "good tv"
If the popcorn came from the airplane or maybe from a shop at the airport then to some degree I say the cleaning crew should handle most people of the mess.
At the same time for the sake of those around you you should be mitigating as much of your kids mess as you can. Not just for the likely overworked staff but also for the other passengers around you. Especially if that popcorn was brought from home or something
I had a job when I was 12. It was under the table. I washed and folded laundry at a laundromat. I'm split myself about Iowa and their child labor laws. Because with jobs like I had, I can see such work being fine and dandy for teens. HOWEVER construction, warehouses and factories are NO places for kids who aren't even fully physically and mentally developed yet to handle such work.
Do people forget why we even have these laws tobegin with or are we just gonna pretend the horrible shit that went down during the industrial revolution never happened?
I mean the GOP literally denies a good portion of US history so.... yeah. They do want to pretend the horrible shit that happened in the industrial revolution isn't real.
It’s so the companies can get away with paying less
I also worked under the table when I was a child. Even if it's an "easier" job, like the ones it seems like we both had, I still don't think children belong in the workforce. They should be focusing on their education and developing social skills during this important time in their life. Going to school 8 hours a day, 5 days a week as well as completing all their homework and studying is enough work already for children, why add on additional responsibilities. I know working also impacted my education, and I hate that these children would have to deal with the same thing.
@@HinataElyonToph that's not necessarily true if teens get injured that's expenses that they have to deal with teens are also more likely to take risks without thinking and get hurt. Unless the company is absolved of employees of getting hurt teens are usually more costly in the long run.
Same, I would have loved to have rights when I worked at 16yo, but I had no e, I worked for bare minimum and lots of hours, I feel this will be good
Love the throwback outro!❤
Anthony Bass is right. I can’t imagine a flight attendant saying “You better clean this up or else”
I’d calmly respond sure I will as soon as we land, then leave the plane.
Or if I’m as rich as they are, maybe slide the attendant $50 or $100 to take care of it.
I work in restaurants, and I don’t get paid as much as flight attendants. Both jobs have food and drink service, and quick turnovers. When I see a customer trying to clean up after themselves, I ask them to let me take care of it.
This is basic hospitality.
My childhood nanny who also did work on her house was a roofer and he died in his forties. I also have another family friend who was a roofer and also passed away. It's no joke that these jobs are extremely dangerous, It's a wild to me the thought of a 14-year-old who could be in middle school working these jobs
Mexican and native kids already do it all the time with zero legal protections
I did roofing in Georgia in 2000 at age 15. Most of the people who "Die" doing roofing are doing commercial buildings and not homes. Home roofing the main danger is heat and sun exposure and people being hardasses and not drinking enough water. I did the job because I was offered 13 an hour when min. wage was only 3.25, they finally increased min. wage in Georgia in 2001 up to 5.15 an hour. I ended up learning quite a few skills that summer which were useful.
Just get the kids into Forestry while you're at it.
@@Azumazini ...do you think roofing in this context doesn't mean commercial buildings? That's exactly where they're gonna go. They're gonna be put on teams doing construction of commercial property, or commercial homes like 3-story apartments.
@@kellyactormosgoog Having lived in Iowa in Des Moines as a kid off S. Union St, most of the homes there are not above 2 stories. Not to mention most veteran crews in commercial don't like getting rookies due to the speed that they want to work to push into their next contract. I seriously doubt they would pull any kids in for anything outside of being a runner. Also for those that don't know, a "Runner" is someone to brings up materials to the edge of the roof from the ladder for the guys working or he's the person shoveling in the old shingles/roofing into the dumpster after they take it off the roof.
With the amount of actors who have already signed away rights to use their computer-generated likenesses in movies, I give it a matter of months before record labels start requiring contracts that give them the rights to AI-generated songs of their artists.

Unfortunately the whole treatment to the contestants from love is blind doesn’t surprise me despite how sad it is. Reality TV (especially the ones involving romance) often pump alcohol down people’s throats so they will make stupid decisions. It’s about time we hold these places accountable.
Best we can do is just not give them views. Everyone needs to stop watching fake ass "reality" TV. Closest I ever got to that genre was watching Survivor when I was in my teens.

The AI music story reminds me of the Carole and Tuesday anime - a music producer uses an algorithm to generate a song based on viral trends, uses AI vocals to sing it, and then hires a young influencer to be the face of the music. I won't be surprised when this becomes the direction that music corporations try to steer the industry. They're only against it now because they haven't figured out the best way to capitalize on it yet.

If you're gonna make these kids work at 14, either you don't make them pay taxes or give them the right to vote.
Ding ding ding!
Oh God, no. 14 year olds shouldn't not be able to vote, there's no way that doesn't end poorly. And making their income tax free is just going to smack them upside the head when they suddenly start making less money because of needing to pay taxes.
@Xyex I think you're missing the point here. The point is that it's ridiculous to have kids both work and get taxed without giving them the rights to utilize the services that should be given in return ie. Voting.
@@azalon2035 No. I didn't miss it. I just think the better option is not making them work.

If Bass was so upset at the idea of his pregnant wife cleaning up a mess, AND he was close enough to take a picture, why didn't HE just clean up the mess?
That was my first thought with that story…
I don't think he was with them. Also, you do not see the wife.
He was literally pitching in a MLB game...
It was the wife who took the picture. 28 weeks is 7 months by the way, as in limited mobility and a large baby bump. Forcing her onto her hands and knees to clean up popcorn with no tools is fucking ridiculous, they sweep the plane after EVERY flight and as it was just popcorn, it wouldn't even create more work for them to do - They already need to sweep that spot AND they have brooms/standup dustpans
@@carterdickinson5804s someone who has been 7 months pregnant, your mobility isn't that limited. I still worked as a CNA both times I was pregnant. The difference is that I would have instructed my child not to make a mess in the first place. My child would have also picked up the mess that they made. I now have 2 adult sons who know what is required of them as grownups. It's never too early to teach your child responsibility.
Edit: spelling
Because its the job of the flight crew to clean it up, its a service industry its part of the services you pay for. i mean the hotel staff doesnt make you clean up your bed do they? what if sick child vomits in plane, do they make you lick it off the floor??? i guarantee you no one would be out here saying this if a white flight attendant made a PREGNANT black woman pick up stuff their child spilled. its amost like once y'all see its a famous person, all common sense goes out the window and it quickly becomes a case of rich vs poor flight attendant. They are in the service industry, cleaning up little stuff like that is PART of the service. Werent we all disgusted at how flight crew handle disabled people without care because they are not their responsibility, i mean why would someone give a fuck about that if cleaning up after a pregnant woman is too much of a hassle.

Honestly. I've read the contracts for these shows and all the fine print, I was considering applying for The Circle because it looked fun, and it's intense. The contracts are strict, and that dissuaded me from it but nowhere does it say anything about having to deal with the living conditions that they force these people into. It doesn't tell them they'll be starved and sleep deprived. It doesn't tell them they won't be able to receive medical attention when they need it. It leaves out the parts where they'll be basically tortured for weeks because if people knew the truth, no one would sign up.
Love is Blind is the prime example of why I full stopped watching any and all "reality" TV, be it contest like this or the other sub genres of it. It not only is rarely depicting reality (because the editors will make whatever story they want by splicing the real footage) but it's also so often abusive to the few real people (eg. the non-show business people) that it's absurd to not think that they're gaining anything but pain from the experience. The Voice, America's Got Talent, Biggest Loser, even back in the day with Road Rules and Top Model, all of them were TERRIBLY abusive to all the contestants even _after_ they stopped filming. If you want what's good for people you shouldn't watch these shows because it's just monetizing people's short and long term misery.
I haven't given up on Reality TV but I am picky about the shows that I'll watch. At this point it's essentially down to Survivor, Top Chef and The Amazing Race. Each of which doesn't seem to be the sort to abuse their contestants with only Survivor truly pushing their contestants far beyond what they might experience in normal life, but they do seem to have a good support system in place for the players.
I just somehow grew out of my reality tv-habit, but I sure agree. Entertainment shouldnt hurt the makers of it, how am I suppose the enjoy something, when someone lost their autonomy over it? The more I learn, the more I loath the industry. And its so cheap to produce, sometimes I feel like tv and streaming services are just filled with different reality shows, one crazier than the last. “Watch as 10 contestants climb in a pot, that starts slowly boiling. The last person in wins a cool million. If they are boiled to death, so be it. Who will take the heat, whos the ultimate champion? Come and see it for yourself!” I fully expect to see that show in the listings someday. Or Gordon Ramseys naked cooking show in the remotest of jungles, where he has to hunt his ingredients and build his kitchen, with Bear Grylls.
ROFL my CEO did almost the same in a townhall. Went on about how we have record growth ,but we are 3 weeks behind our year bonuses and when people kept asking he told us he wasnt going to talk anymore on it!
I feel like its no problem if they have to pick up popcorn because they drop it and amazing video man :]
I love when bosses who make the 6-7 figure salaries tell their employees things like this. Like 'thank you, please pay my $5000 medical bills and 1200$ rent for me. I can't make it paycheck to paycheck on $20/hour I can't imagine how people do so on minimum wage.
I work for a women’s clothing retail company, we have around 10 stores and pretty large online presence. Each week all store managers are on a conference call with our owner/CEO. I’ve never seen a company with the level of on the ground involvement like this one. We got hefty raises last year and it’s just not in the cards this year… (I’ve never made as much as I do now so I’m okay with this) the CEO waited to tell us to our faces on Zoom and explained the situation and her action plan to get back to raises next year. She listens to our feedback WEEKLY no matter how small and is so involved and appreciative of us. She has even given us her personal number during tough company times in case we feel we have concerns that need to be addressed. I feel super lucky to be apart of this company. That CEO could take a few notes.
Fat chance.
This is what managers and executives do to their underlings. Gaslighting and projection is upper management 101.
the outro in your videos lately is a major throwback, sxephil lol
As much as I normally think dating shows are just to push unrealistic standards of dating and looks (and I still do), the Love is Blind situation is something that no one should have to go through. Ever.
It's not humane treatment to treat someone that way and that's a fucking massive labor violation
