West Virginia Worker Exploitation.. BOSS FIGHT! SHOWDOWN EMPLOYEE'S VS EMPLOYER 

employers like that dont deserve good employees

All this over asking for a raise. These bosses are heartless

Bro that’s messed up he’s being a horrible boss

Unfortunately it’s so widespread. Nasty, disrespectful, dishonest, crooked bosses and managers. The surprising truth is that they actually don’t care if you quit, and they prefer that you do quit so that they can hire new staff that is clueless and gets paid minimum wage because they are new. The longer the staff is ‘loyal’ the more expensive it gets to keep paying them. It’s all about the money and not loyalty

Employees are the Heart, Soul and Backbone of any company. The Boss is only the Itty bitty Roof. The Roof can't stand without strong support....aka...Employees!!!

Just gather company information and everyone quit at the same time and go to the competition

Goodshit man love how y'all stuck together

Seven years on minimum wage. There are no victims, only volunteers.

Respect they all had each others backs good for them

Hope that manager got fired.

I’ve had bosses like this, walked out without saying a word is a good feeling. Just make sure to not need them as a reference. That’s why the Covid loophole is a beautiful thing. Also, what is the company you use to work for? I’d love to give them a Google review.

Yeah. That will get you a raise.. or a ride straight to jail

To Todduke: Togetherness is your manhood and courage. If you were doing this yourself with co-workers laughing at you -- you would think again.

The boss knows he can get replacements the next day to do the same job………otherwise the boss would be negotiating a raise

I mean... you deserve what you tolerate. If you have been making min wage for seven years its 100% your fault. Why fight for money at a bad job? Leave and find a better job.... its simple ppl.

You all deserve raises at least a merit increase, my goodness. I respect that you all stuck together. He can try to throw one under the rug but all of you naaaah take ‘‘em to court. What a weenie I hope you are all in better places.

Whew, what a bad scene. I try keep emotions bottled up at work, though I really want to tell the boss she’s a worthless bully who contributes nothing.

This is why bosses insist you don't talk with your coworkers about how much you're paid, despite it being perfectly legal. They don't want you to know how much they're screwing you over.

Sheeesh he is terrible, just like my boss (about to be former boss lol) I hate toxic bosses like this who create a hostile work environment. Anyways, hopefully he’s not alive anymore.

If I asked my boss for a raise, and he fired me, then threatened to call the cops…at that point if the cops are coming anyway I’m going to give you a REAL reason to call. Better make that call quick, you have about a minute before I get to my car and back 🤷‍♂️

Still though, you guys refusing to leave property is a criminal offense. Also why stay at a minimum wage job for 7 years!???

That’s why i will never give my all to a company

Most of these employers failed to realize the difference that it makes to raise everyone's salaries to match the cost of living.

You don’t get raises anymore. The only raise you get today is when you’re offered a higher paying job.

That is why the living wage is very important. As we all can see these hard-working employees are making $5 an hour while the raging owner does not want to pay them anymore than $5 an hour. This is absolutely horrific. I'm hoping these men were able to find better paying jobs.

This is why I have been self employed for 24 years!

Why would you stay at a place that didn't give a raise in 7 years?

You all should walk out together

You are well within your rights to do so he cannot fire you for that contact OSHA for violation

That's pretty tame. One Monday I came into my office to find my wall clock on my desk with bullet holes in it. I got along well with my boss. Right from the start I knew he was an alcoholic, and he got wasted every day. I had even been asked to pick up some of his booze when I went to the bank. He paid me very well, I worked part time in the roll of General Manager and CFO. After 4 years he was headed into drugs. He jumped up at me one day when he had too much to drink. I left. I found out later that him and his wife split, the plant was raided by the police, and just a couple of years later he shot himself in the head. Joe you were a hell of a nice person when you were sober, and I'm sorry your demons were too much to bear, rip. Edit: This was in Canada, and handguns aren't as prevalent, as they are in the States. It was the largest manufacturer of it's kind in Canada. I was the only woman in the place also.

If you’re making minimum wage and been there for seven years, that’s your fault, buddy

It’s nice when the worlds shows it’s true colors, I find it beautiful. 99% of the worlds is backwards it borderlines sham.

I just walked away from a piece of 💩 boss like this. He’s gone through hundreds of staff

10 bucks says he's the owner's son!

Money grubbing boss only wants to pay the bare minimum.

The colors of those walls are enough to cause them to leave!😂

big W never let another man tell you youre worth less than what you know you are.

Bosses are greedy pricks. They don't create the wealth, the workers do.

Well done mate

Leave….you are not entitled to anything, it’s a free country, it’s his business ……..leave and get a better job…. He doesn’t deserve you…..

Where exactly is this happening? The accents seem kinda all over the place.

Employees like this is why I dont go back to the workforce. Retired at 42 and not having to put up with the over-aware is one of my lifes perks.

Should have left 6 years ago after not having a raise

I worked for 7 years at a convenience store for $6 an hour. Never got a raise and lost my 30 cent shift premium when I became the store assistant manager and switched to working 1st and 2nd shift. Never cried. Just kept working.

And Now. After being underappreciated for YEARS, the employees still wont leave this place, even after being told the policecare coming. Worlds Dumbest Employees!!!!

Yup don't leave until you see paperwork! I left when my job told me I was fired before, went to unemployment and they told unemployment I left on my own! Luckily the HR wrote unemployment back stating that they did indeed fire me!

A European accent in WVU is so rare to hear its so trippy 😅

Employee on the right is clearly a Boss

You’re asking him to pay you to be there. You got some audacity. Find another job.

In all honesty… how do you stay at a job making min wage for 7 years?????

Less than 10/hr??? I hope they ALL LEAVE

I live with my parents because my boss pays shit. He makes fun of me for living at my parents house

75% of the United States workforce is 'at will.' While we don’t have the full context of the video, it’s likely that the workers didn’t simply 'ask for a raise' but rather were trying to coerce the company into giving them one. In an 'at will' employment scenario, both the employer and the employee have the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time. If workers want better compensation, they need to understand the importance of mutual agreement, not ultimatums.

This is how some people make money and then sail on their yachts at the weekend as though they haven’t got a care in the world.

Here in NJ you’re screwed. They can come in and fire you for any reason any time unless you are under contract subject to collective bargaining. It’s called “at will.” It sucks.

Never spend over a year or two at any job, unless you know you get compensated at the top level you can. And sometimes it takes losing a job to find out what your level can be.

Self employment is the best way to go.

To the young man who refuses to leave. Listen, once your employer behaves like the employer in the video, just leave. Consider yourself fired and go file for unemployment benefits. Also, share the videos and your story about your employer on social media.

You really just said you’ve worked somewhere for 7 years at minimum wage

Totally should send him a link to this and say "read the comments" so he can see you guys aren't the only ones who think is actions are abhorrent.

Well, that's your fault for staying for 7 years at minimum wage.

It's weird that someone from Britain lives in Down South in West Virginia

I had the same issues with the Mcdonald’s I worked at. Like throughout the time, the starting wage would change and go up, but depending on the people that got hired at that time where the wage was set at, they would get paid that amount, depending on which date they started. like for example, three years ago the starting pay was $12.25. but there was an employee there that got hired a year before that and the starting pay at that time was $10.25. So for all the newer employees I got hired are getting paid $12.25. The employee that got hired a year ago is still getting paid the starting pay a year before the pay was increased 🤦‍♂️. And I cannot tell you how insane that was when I first heard about it and how incredibly unfair it was that these newer people are getting paid more compared to the people that been there a while or longer are still getting paid from the old starting pay.

7 years of work and minimum raise is insane, would've quit by year 3

Why would you stay at the same job for 7 years and no raise? After 1 year you should have been out

And thats the reason why theres unions. Not to protect the lazy...that happens in every job. Its to reward the honest worker.

how dare you ask for a raise. the boss works hard to make sure you dont get any more money than what he feels you deserve and you have the nerve to ask him for more money? he was right to fire you. (satire post)

Good on you guys !

I knew it was bad here but dam that takes thr cake. 7 years, how yall not take him on a tour of our wonderful coal mines. Better men than me

Theres a bunch of you guys and this reach a point that can not be tolerated as a employee, call a union asap!!

Is he from the UK or is he American he sound like he was from Birmingham

Seven years!?

Would have less bosses if we just started beeping the fuck out of em to remind them no human really has authority over you

Missing the first part of the video so we don't really know what occurred prior to this. As far as the guy who got fired, nobody is required to hand you a piece of paper to throw you out of their business. And the guy who complained about getting his starting rate for seven years...why didn't he just find another job? Nobody is holding you there and if you already know you work for a greedy boss/owner who doesn't appreciate you then just find something else. Bosses like this who take their employees for granted are everywhere but unemployment is the lowest it's been in 50 years so jobs are plentiful.

Looks like it . Nobody can afford a razor or bath soap

7 years at minimum wage sounds like a motivation problem. Yeah it’s a shit job, that’s why you leave ASAP

Bro if you can't get more than minimum wage at another place.... Didn't know what to tell you. You stayed for 7 years? Find a new job.

Why stay 7 years?

What’s the boss’ name and the company ? So we can share our thoughts with the owner ??

Why would you stay somewhere for seven years while making minimum wage???? You can go right now to sheetz and make 15 bucks an hour for operating a cash register.

Well, i guess that will teach you to make a reasonable request .😮😮😮 geez

If I don't get a raise within 6 months, I'm already planning on my exit route unless I'm really desperate lol Staying at a job for 7 years and just expecting a raise is crazy.

Why would you work for minimum wage for 7 years????

thats when you all quit at once.

You call the cops on me in my presence you better take of sprinting 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I asked for a raised my boss sold the company

Why are people so quick to call the police? Like screw actually settling something yourself. Let’s just call the police because we’re lazy.

West Virginia 😂 never go there or you’ll never come home

In the mean time might as well go get a fast food gig, they're getting a raise in April. 😆

That Parable in the Bible where the guy pays everyone the same. No matter when they start it. Yeah, I have a trouble dealing with that too... Praying for your stay strong. Move on, love yourself first. How can you expect others to if you don't?

Why do you even want to stay? After 7 years at minimum wage? I’d grab my stuff and leave as fast as I could.

What was the company name? I couldnt make it out.

Why did you stay at a job for 7 years making min wage? Part of this is on you for not.... waking up? Like 5 years ago

7 years at minimum wage? Just by connecting the dots and the looks of these people they seem very lazy because why not leave and get a job that can pay the bills? Evethe english man said he enjoys the job alot though he’s making minimum wage that just says to me that job is a kick back office job and waited 7 years to make more than minimum wage omg.

All yall should walk out and when he cries for good people to come back he has to double yalls pay or loose his business 😂😂😂

Fucking low down boss. What’s the company name again? Post it So I can post it Everywhere

Need a part 2

You stayed there six years too long.

If you’re making minimum wage for 7 years, that on you.

This video shows these jobs don’t give a fuck about you talking bout “we’re a family” and how much they love you they love you so much then increase the wages so people can keep up with inflation
