the worst part was that it was an elderly employee who couldn't afford to retire.

someone so thoroughly beat down by the system that they can't afford to stop working, helped perpetuate the system that's fucking them over without (probably) ever realizing that they did it.

I would bet that a lot of people cheering this dude on would’ve turned him in for 50k. A system predicated on misery means that it’s often surprisingly easy to get someone to compromise their ideals by floating them some cash. 10k probably would’ve done it, just not as fast. People are desperate for respite. People who only have a few years left even more so

The 50k is taxed as income too. “Treasure trove” earnings. Dude will owe like $7800 come tax season, hope someone warned them
