The job market is pretty strange right now…

Bosses complain about the lack of workers and then they cut hours and hire new people…

What’s that all about?!?!

And a woman named Moe shared a video to TikTok where she talked about her own experience…and explained what she thinks is really going on.

In her video, Moe said, “Because they don’t want to give you paid breaks. When a company does this, it’s so that one person can work four hours a day, another person can work four hours a day, [and] another person can work four hours a day, etc., and every single person will go through only getting a 15-minute [break] instead of two paid 15-minute [breaks] and a lunch.”

Moe continued, “The company is cheap as f**k. A certain orange company used to do that to us all the time.”

Hmmm…
