Unlawful termination

Ive been unlawfully terminated by a well known US software company for voicing concerns about a direct FTC business rule violation by company wide unethical sales practices.

I was hired in a team of Offshore reps working on a freelance contract. What can I do?

How is it OK that Yahoo!, Google, Facebook, and many other GIANT online businesses have zero ways to contact them?

I've been burned by all three of those companies and all they offer is an FAQ page (NOT helpful). I know it mints them tons of money not to have to deal with complaints or answer for egregious mistakes but come on.

CEO greed

I remember reading a story of Nintendo's CEO taking a pay cut because they where struggling. That was a rare honorable thing. But this guy here and people look up to rich mother fockers.

Outback Steakhouse’s new CEO gets $500,000 signing bonus—even though he got one from Delta just a year before https://fortune.com/2024/08/27/outback-steakhouses-new-ceo-gets-500000-signing-bonus-even-though-he-got-one-from-delta-just-a-year-before/

I can’t find any free ai cover makers anymore.

Have you noticed that ai music maker websites are getting more money-hungry? Well, there are popular websites that used to be free, but now cost money. They are scammers. There are also websites that look free, but they require credits to buy ai voices, and when you try to get one as new user, it says “not enough credits”. The only way you can get credits on those websites is buying them. ABSOLUTE BS

CVS

I almost never go to CVS , I used to frequent Walgreens or RiteAid. But since they closed the local Walgreens about 2 months ago and the RiteAide closed soon after and I needed a few things I stopped in. Toothpaste 8.99 $80 for my nicorette gum and $7 for regular chewing gum. I can get all this much cheaper elsewhere. The lady that works there says if I sign up for care plus ultra program for $5.00 per month I will get 20% off all this stuff. I was like no thanks, I'm never coming back here, too expensive. Big corporate greed, really pissed me off.

DON NOT GO TO BURGER KING!!!

I don't know if anyone else has noticed it's been forever since I have got Burger King. I stopped yesterday with my daughter. We order 2 meals both medium mind you. The cost was $34 and change ! I thought I was buying stock in the place. The size of the dries has shrunk and drinks yet price more than tripled. I thought McDonald's was getting bad at $23 for 2 meals. That is just insane. Them rasing prices that much when other places haven't had to shows they are just greedy has nothing to do with inflation. I get people with money don't care probably don't notice. The problem is if people go and pay those prices they are just going to keep raising them and the food will get less and less. Time to take back out country the gov could careless. If we all ban together and stop giving these places our hard earned money maybe they will smarten up and if not owell they go under it's their own greed that caused it. I rarely go to those places I mostly eat at home because healthy and cheaper. For a special treat we stopped never again.

Carvana keeping delivery fee but isnt delivering.

Went through the entire process, never heard from carvana. Followed up, was informed my order was cancelled and I would not get my delivery fee back bc I didn't request it in 24 hrs. from the time they cancelled my order but didn't let me know. I did one good deal w carvana in the past, but I guess greed took over since they steal now.

Whole Foods

When Amazon bought Whole Foods, many loyal customers wondered how long it would take Mr Bezos to replace managers with accountants and grind down Whole Foods to compete with Piggly Wiggly.

A while back Whole Foods raised the price of butter by over a dollar a lb but labeled the revised price as "New Low Price"! That's Chutzpah!

Now it's begun in earnest.

His accounts have degraded the bakery - Seedation Bread gone. Multigrain Bread gone. Can't wait for Whole Foods to introduce Wonder Bread at its "New Low Price".

An Amazon sign has gone up on a previous location of a Shoppers Warehouse in Potomac Yards. Bread will have 2 yr expiration date.

But Whole Foods customers should happily accept these degradationS because Jeff Bezos is ONLY the 2nd richest person in the World.

Double Billing in California?

I have a case where my company, a service provider, has been double billing clients for years. I don't mean by minutes, I mean by hours. Double, triple, quadruple billing. It is obvious and documented. Isn't this beyond unethical and enters the illegal realm? Anyone have experience with this? If it were simple things like billing two clients that had a 5 minute service call, and the minimum is 15 or 30 minutes, then ok. But what I have seen is regular double or more billing in the hours+ range.
