You're not shit next to me. My genes are just light years superior to yours and I don't even need to look at you.

Fraud suit in the making

You don't pay your employees, as a director and executive officer, that's personal liability. Bankrupting the company won't even make that go away.

Purposefully keeping people "employed" in unpaid positions as a feeble attempt to prevent the cost of covering unemployment is similarly bad. Plus paying people under the table, presumably to avoid paying payroll taxes. With recorded evidence.

He's fucked.

Duh. Why should they get paid for something that never happened?

Nobody's getting paid? Au contraire my man

hey vice journalist, we got this juicy audio and we need you to pick a really good quote that we can highlight in bold font right below the audio box... oh i know

“I’m on the phone, but I can barely hear you all because of this fucking hum.” —Ja Rule

how do these people have jobs

"journalist"

God it's so true, same with places like buzzfeed. It amazes me some of these people not only got hired, but haven't lost their jobs yet

are you saying you arent desperate for play-by-plays of every utterance by incredibly relevant cultural figure ja rule?

WHERE'S JA????

I wrote for a community college newspaper that would have called me out for that shit. Does vice have any actual editors on staff?

You can't not pay people, these fuckers are so stupid, they really think anyone's gonna come next year

I'm so willing to bet there are retards willing to throw money at them. Just look at kickstarter.

If they stay their jobs will be to help organize all of the mass amounts of lawsuits on their way.

This surely will end well for the Founders. If DS9 has taught me anything, all Founders are assholes.

Odo was... no, now I think on it, Odo was a dick too...

Wouldn't even say goodbye to Quark properly: dick.

NOT SO FAST. Loses meaning.

"We're not going to fire you or lay you off or pay you. I'm just going to do some more coke and then probably some more coke and that's pretty much the whole plan at this point."

"Last Friday, Billy McFarland, the 25-year-old founder of the disastrous Fyre Festival, told his shell-shocked employees that their paychecks covering the past two weeks would not be coming. Nor would he be firing them, a prerequisite for unemployment benefits in most states. Instead, McFarland offered to let his dozen-or-so employees stay on in unpaid roles, where they could work to grow the business to a place where they might get paid again."

What a dick

Yeah, life doesn't work that way buddy. The courts are going to ass-fuck you.

You mean surprise buttsecks?

Wow, that's like "it'll look good on your portfolio!" taken to its natural conclusion. Except most people won't even be able to list working for him on their resume because of what a disaster it was.

They can list "worked as volunteer in refugee camp"

Haha. At least the people who paid money got some shitty sandwiches and tents. I bet the people working it had to sleep in the sand and eat only what they could catch.

the only thing the people who organized fyre fest have going for them is "at least they could have beaten the shit out of the organizers of that other tumblr fest with the ball pit

christ almighty, the blithe retardation of these "entrepreneur" types never ceases to amaze me

told his shell-shocked employees that their paychecks covering the past two weeks would not be coming. Nor would he be firing them, a prerequisite for unemployment benefits in most states.

Well, first of all, he can't "not pay them". It's not an optional thing. He has to pay them to every last cent and if he doesn't, he is gonna get so arsefucked you would think it was a casual /r/drama's regular Saturday night.

Second, I am not 100% on the US specifics, but reducing the wage dramatically usually counts as constructive dismissal in most of the civilized world. In essence, your working conditions were so changed that it's like having a new job.

Third and final, you can't have them work for free legally. Doesn't this fucking guy have a lawyer or an accountant or someone who wasn't hit in the head with a brick repeatedly when he was a newborn? You HAVE to pay people to work at least minimum wage. Interns can be unpaid because (theoretically) they do no work to support the company.

he is gonna get so arsefucked you would think it was a /r/drama's regular Saturday night.

You say that like regs here get laid.

You HAVE to pay people to work at least minimum wage.

Like Uber drivers?

Yeah. I think in the US tipping professions/service professions have a lower minimum wage (for whatever fucking reason) but they have to be paid that minimum wage.

Someone explain to a confused Canadian why American companies don't like their ex employees to get unemployment?

It can make your unemployment tax rate go up. Either case, this guy should've talked to a lawyer - saying, "I'm not firing you, but I'm not paying you" doesn't stop your employees from quitting filing for unemployment.

Hopefully JA Rule hangs himself.
