Friends!
News Pt 2, Electric Boogaloo!
I spent 5 days (25 phone calls) trying to reach the training manager at Wal-mart to confirm that I would be at today’s orientation to no avail. I texted the manager that hired me to let her know and she should that should be fine.
It was not fine, friends.
I was not on the list for today’s orientation. They did put me on Monday’s list, but I spent $20 of my last $70 on transportation. So, yeah, not thrilled with that turn of events.
I start working at Old Navy in earnest on Sunday, so that’s great! But I will need transportation money for that, too. Thankfully, the mall isn’t as far away as Wal-mart is, so there’s a small mercy. And if I get out at 10pm, which I do for most of my shifts, the one friend we’ve got in the apartment complex with a car can pick me up, since he gets off work at 9.
But I’m not in the best spot financially right now! The biggest need is for transportation, obviously (along with dog food, people food, & upcoming phone bill). I think that $100-200 would be enough until I start getting paid again.
So please keep reblogging and spreading the word! And if you can spare anything at all, it would be so, so, SO appreciated. It really means the world to have your support. When I’m able, I will pay it back. Believe me, I have a list of everything I owe and I am determined to work on paying you all back as soon as possible.

signal boost i know and i'm so so so sorry thank you for the help we've received thus far and for help we may still receive it means the world to me please reblog please share elsewhere if you're so inclined and please know that the instant i'm more financially stable i'll pay it back from the bottom of my heart thank you

yes! my favorites are The Tiger and the unnamed werewolf fridge poem
for context these are the poems
also I almost forgot but the r/ambien Gives Us The Sleep post takes a completely serious third place in my favorite poems list:
and COMING IN HOT at NUMBER FOUR on my list, it’s Fragment 147! an accidental poem created when the original parchment containing a text by Sappho was used to stop a wine jug more than 2,000 years ago- eventually the wine dissolved most of the parchment, leaving just a few words and BOY do they prove that the Universe has a sense of irony.

Ok, but if you’re an independent contractor in the US and this happens? Find a lawyer, because you might have just gotten a huge payday.
Your position was just referred to as employment. Independent contractors do not have employers; they do not have employment. Congrats, your contact at this company just provided evidence that you were illegally missclassified.
This contact is claiming that you have set hours you’re obligated to fulfill. Unless a work task can only be done at a set time for practical reasons (i.e. you’re an audio freelancer paid to support a live event that occurs at a particular time and requires a certain amount of pre-show setup), a company cannot set an independent contractor’s work hours. This is further evidence that you were missclassified.
The whole exchange establishes that the company is interpreting an employer-employee relationship rather than expecting a service. Discipline and potential for firing (you cannot fire an independent contractor; no longer purchasing their service is not equivalent) establish that this person views themselves as a manager. Independent contractors cannot have managers.
This one text exchange could:
Get you back pay for the full duration you’ve worked there, to bring you up to the compensation that an employee would have gotten
Get you back compensation for lost benefits that an employee would have gotten
Get you back pay for the additional self-employment taxes the company should have covered
Get the company to pay back taxes to the government
Get the company to hire everyone who performed a similar role, or face further penalties and fines
A win would encourage the rest of their missclassified workers to sue for the same, or give them leverage to demand a better deal
If the company is going to screw you over like that, may as well make them pay for it.
Since this is getting a lot of reblogs, here’s a federal source that can help you determine if you’re illegally classified as a contractor:
Misclassification of Employees as Independent Contractors | U.S. Department of Labor
dol.gov
You can also file a form with the IRS to force the company to correct your classification (assuming you meet the criteria), without necessarily having to sue:
Independent Contractor (Self-Employed) or Employee? | Internal Revenue Service
Learn how to determine whether a person providing a service to you is an employee or an independent contractor.
irs.gov
Keep in mind that this is just federal. Most states also prohibit missclassification as an independent contractor; and even if states have more lenient rules, companies still have to comply with this federal law. The rules have largely been bipartisan and existed for decades, so they’re common.
States also have an interest in having regulations about missclassification: it’s a significant loss of tax revenue. Your self employment tax does not fully equal what a company would have paid for you in payroll taxes.
A lawyer can help point you in the right direction if a company is currently missclassifying you.
Fantastic addition
