“Thank you for doing the work. It’s done now, so I don’t need it any more, so I won’t be paying you. Also you can’t sue me because you read my magazine once back in the 80s and it’s in the fine print, but here’s a t-shirt with our logo across the front and back, and a commendation on your CV. It says, ‘good worker, no complaints.’ That’s exec talk for, ‘you can screw this guy over without worrying, so go ahead and hire him.’”
“I’m not paying you today. We got lots of profits and I don’t feel like wasting it on employees.”
They do this with wait servers, cooks, farm hands, and construction people. They also conduct layoffs to create more short term profits
