Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

No no. Not mistakes. I've worked jobs where the boss wanted 16 hours a day.
I'd just not give a shit about quality. I worked at a hotel. Plenty of people got free rooms when I worked there. But I also made sure the important things got done.
But were those free rooms a mistake? No. Far from it. They were an intentional middle finger to the millionaire owner who looked down at everyone else.
Then he tried screwing me out of hours I worked. This after working there for 6 years. So I when I asked about it, he was adament that he wasn't going to pay that money.
So I opened a voice recorder on my phone, and had that same exact conversation again.
I made sure to mention that I already worked those hours, but hadn't been paid. To which he said he would never pay for those hours.
That's when I walked to my locker, cleared it out, and left. Then I called the IRS and sent them the file.
Within 2 years the city took his land, demolished his hotel, and now it's an empty field.
What's even worse for him is that this happened in 2018. Right now, the Cleveland Browns are in the process of buying land to build a new stadium in Brookpark (suburb of Cleveland). If he had still owned the land, the Browns would have had to make him an offer he couldn't refuse. He could have sold EASILY for 20 million. He only bought the hotel for 1 million (which is pennies on the dollar for what hotels are worth).
He bought it for around 1 million, and in the 3 years he owned it, only made about 600k on the property.
Which means instead of selling in 2025 for 20 million minimum, plus the business of the hotel from 2018-2025 he would have had by still running the hotel, he instead LOST 400k iN 2018 by having the government forcibly take his land.
All in all, I figure I cost him 20-25 million dollars because he refused to pay something rediculously low like $600. All because I was tired, pissed off, and done with his penny pinching to make me work everyday doubles. That way he wouldn't need to hire more people.
