Bank of America is facing a proposed class and collective action lawsuit that accuses the company of failing to pay hundreds of hourly workers for time spent booting their computers, logging in, and launching required software before officially starting their shifts.

The complaint, filed by former employee Tava Martin, focuses on a routine familiar to many in the modern workplace: unlocking encrypted drives, signing in through multi-factor authentication, connecting to a VPN, and launching business-critical applications. According to the filing, these tasks could take up to 30 minutes each day and were required before employees could access the company’s timekeeping system to clock in.

This is so odd. Less than 1 hr old and 75 lengthy comments. Why??

Thanks for pointing it out.

To establish a history. There's midterms less than a year away. And this place is going to be at least as infested as Reddit.

Reddit will have the consent and cooperation of the admins. Lemmy will have an open API and not many ways to stop it.

Bizarre but it's also correct

We need more commie bots to fight the capitalists bots...

On Reddit, to cost them the money and mental bandwidth.
