Why do so many musicians/industry people open Donut shops

 

That’s terrible. I feel awful for those employees, especially all that were exposed to Covid

Production work must’ve been running dry for him

 

or sell coffee can't forget that

 

(Glances at Bayside)

 

also glances at knukle puck

 

A local coffee shop out here in SoCal went through a very similar situation. Management cut hours under the guise of “slow business due to covid” (multiple employees told me they were doing just fine) and they didn’t provide employees with masks despite selling branded masks weeks into the pandemic. The union took their case to the labor board and actually won their case. I think DFU should do the same. All these small businesses are just like any other business and will treat you like dirt any chance they get.

 

I've almost exclusively worked for small businesses (in various industries) and in very specific ways, they tend to be worse than big corporations.

Although "worse" isn't the ideal word, because it's not a competition and all work abuse is abuse. It's more like, there are very specific ways that small businesses are uniquely abusive. It's horrendous and because of the intimate nature of small businesses, the owners almost always have a martyr complex they use to heavily guilt their employees for asking for... anything, really.

 

Dealing with this right now. The implied value of "employee loyalty" is jacked up to 10 and any request to make your life easier (work-related or otherwise) is met with tremendous doubt - what's it going to cost the company, etc. It's awful.

 

I'm really sorry to hear that. I know what you're talking about though: my old boss used to CRY when I asked for my paycheck to be on time. And the list just goes on.

No "bad apples", either. I have yet to be employed by a small business where things like this never happened.

 

My large grocery company that should be obvious but will remain nameless cut hours despite our profits increasing TEN FOLD in the last ten months.

 

Which one? If you don’t mind me asking

 

Augies. They had a few shops in the IE. The owners mentioned multiple times that they didnt have enough money to pay employees but then they hired a PR firm for damage control and also tried to open a brand new wine bar.

 

Oh! Never been but I remember seeing that controversy on Instagram

 

Awful. Hope he's convicted.

 

wasn't there another person that accused Soulja Boy of holding them hostage/abuse? like, a couple years ago? or is this the same?

 

who

 

Welp, if you read the article, you'll find out.

 

i did. have never heard of any of them. sound like gross people. fuck em. wouldn't feel any different if I had heard of them.

 

It's just kinda weird 500 pages into a thread about accountability in music, when news about accountability in music is posted your reaction is "who"

 

fair enough, it was out of pocket i guess

who it is doesn’t matter

 

To be fair, it quite often that someone in here will post about some artist or band I’ve never heard of and if I was to ask who that is, I’d at least expect a simple answer and not someone swatting my hand over it.
