    Sam Borghese, another one of Atre’s former employees, testified that his multimillionaire boss had created a hostile, fear-based work environment. Though Borghese reportedly had a friendly relationship with Atre, he said Atre would also withhold his employees’ paychecks , yell at them and fire them if he felt disrespected. Borghese also told the court that Lindsay and Kaleb Charters performed manual labor on Atre’s farm from sunrise to sunset for nearly two weeks, KRON-TV said.

    After Lindsay and Kaleb Charters finally received their paychecks, they reportedly told Borghese that they needed a break since the work was so intense. Once the two of them left, Atre discovered that the keys to one of his farm trucks was missing, and he bounced the checks, the outlet said.

    When Lindsay and Kaleb Charters argued with Atre about their paychecks, their boss told them that they had wasted his time and that “he was worth thousands of dollars an hour — because he makes millions — so anyone who wastes his time is costing money,” Borghese reportedly told the court. Atre then offered the two of them new paychecks for $1,400, but on one condition: They had to perform 300-500 pushups.

    How can it ever be illegal to kill someone like this.

      This comment is body-shaming, isn’t it? And also racism, ironic as it may be. I dunno, RNAi, I’d maybe delete this one if I were you

        Hexbear is obviously better than basically anywhere on the internet but I feel like I’ve been seeing a lot of that lately, and fat shaming sort of posts occasionally, it’s not a super serious/overly common issue but it would be good for hexbears to consider the harm of that.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
