I'm an engineering manager at a Fortune 500 company. The dumbest engineer on our team left for Netflix. He got a pay raise too.

Our engineers are fucking morons. And this guy was the dumbest of the bunch. If you think Netflix hires top tier talent, you don't know Netflix.

I've never seen a team that has somehow managed to hire exclusively morons. Even the shittiest of call center jobs and construction crews have a few people with enough brain cells to tie their shoelaces.

Have you considered that maybe you're being overly harsh about your co-workers? Maybe take the fact that one of them was hired by a top paying employer as a sign that you should improve your own ability to judge skill?

I've seen tons of them! The formula is to create conditions that will make even slightly competent people leave. They hire their morron nephew, he is always 30 min late then they moan when you are 5 min late because the parking lot was blocked by their car. He always leaves 2 hours early while you do overtime that they regularly forget to pay for. Your day is filled with your own work PLUS that of your retarded coworkers who only drink coffee while joking about you doing their work. You are not as fast as the last guy! haha! If something goes wrong the morrons collectively blame you, just like the last time. You get a formal warning. etc etc The other normal person they hire is let go after 2 days because they complaint which means they didnt fit the team.

And so on

If he still works there the morron who left was less of a.

At least half of that is on you. NEVER work unpaid/unlogged OT.

Can’t speak for every place but that’s not always an option. As a teenager, I worked at Sports Direct where the management would regularly work us after our allotted hours and bar us putting the extra time onto our timesheet. If I recall correctly, the company eventually got pulled for it but the money they’d have saved over years would have outweighed the fine.

The timesheets were on paper so good luck putting your real hours on without your manager, who files it, finding out.

I’d be amazed if they ever cleaned up their act.

Report that shit to your local Department of Labor equivalent. They would have gotten you, and everyone else in that store, their owed money.

You’re asking children to have full understanding of their rights and how to enforce them. Also, investigations into this started in 2020: over a decade after I left. Do you think nobody had reported this in all that time? Looks like the system wasn’t working as well as you think it does.

Yes and: IIRC, the USA has at least $8b of wage theft per year.

Here it is somewhat normal to "forget" so that you have to ask for it every time. My current employer has thousands of employees. "Forgetting" is good business. If money is tight they have people ask twice. You get a response like, didnt you already report this? Surely someone is working on it?
