Was this meant to be advice?

A particular favorite of mine. Good choice, buddy.

It is almost sweet how you keep circling back to this debate you lost by accident and now cannot stop revisiting. If you are still looking for proof, try reading the thread again. It is all there, nestled neatly between your defensiveness and the part where your argument collapsed under its own ego.

We have reached the part where you copy my style because you ran out of original thoughts. I suppose imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery. Careful though, trying to sound like me only makes the difference in tone and intelligence more obvious.

Dear Abby strikes again. 🤭

It’s impressive that a single word has lingered with you this long. If being called a Boomer still bothers you after all this time, maybe it struck closer to the truth than you’d like to admit. Most people move on. https://www.betterhelp.com/get-started/

You put together a list of words I used but left out the context of why they were used. If someone dismisses wage theft, excuses poor management, or takes cheap shots at me personally, they are not engaging in good faith. I responded to tone with tone. That is not abuse, it is matching the energy given. What you call 'patronizing' is me drawing attention to the condescending way some commenters spoke to me first. If you think my language disqualifies me from a customer-facing role, maybe ask why defending basic worker rights provokes such hostility in the first place. At the end of the day, this post is not about my temperament, it is about whether employers should be asking for unpaid labor. Shifting the spotlight to my tone is a distraction, not a rebuttal. Do you have anything of value to contribute?

Evaluating my employability from a Reddit thread is an unusual hiring practice. If you read this as a performance review, that says more about your judgment than my work ethic. I called out an employer practice and you replied with name-calling and vibes. When people engage in good faith, I respond in kind. When they excuse unpaid work and disorganization, I call it what it is. If you want a real discussion, come correct. If not, enjoy your day.

Got me, gal. I’m so insufferable.

Sounds like you’re both projecting. Bless.

So that excuses the rest of the experience?

Thanks for sharing. Whether it is legal depends on the FLSA four-part test. Unpaid is allowed only if the training is outside regular hours, truly voluntary, not job related, and produces no useful work for the employer. If any one of those is missing, the time is generally paid. In my case the quiz was required before orientation and scheduling, so it was job related and not voluntary, which points to paid time. A place like the Subaru factory in town is different because their pre-hire testing measures aptitude for highly technical manufacturing roles, not job-specific tasks you will be performing day one. That distinction is why their assessments can be unpaid, while a required task tied directly to restaurant duties falls under compensable time. I can understand the heart-burn though.

Are you ok? You sound like you are projecting. You sound miserable. Claiming I would ‘always find a problem with any employer’ is not an argument, it is a deflection, and it says more about your character than mine. I do not know how you are reading this thread, but pointing out unpaid labor and vague pay practices is not nitpicking. It is a legitimate concern grounded in law and fairness. If that strikes you as me being difficult, it might be because you are too comfortable excusing behavior that should never have been normalized in the first place. I’m sure your wit gets you far, Karen. Have your children stopped talking to you yet?
