HiddenLayer5 , in Tennessee hospital faces civil rights investigation over release of transgender health records

Doesn’t matter. Even if they lose every penny the damage has already been done. These people should be punched or worse, not just fined.

mojo , in Hawaii cannot ban guns on beaches, US judge rules

Why do they defend so hard for like the one weird out of 1000 who openly waves a gun around that makes everyone extremely uncomfortable. People around open carriers don’t think “wow freedom!”, they get super fucking uncomfortable.

Burn_The_Right , in Fox’s Chief Legal Officer Will Depart

Nobody gives the tiniest chicken-fried fuck what happens to shitbags at Fox. Wake me up when the place is burning to the ground so I can char some marshmallows.

May they remain unemployable for the remainder of their lives.

By “Full-time” they have to mean 24/7, right?

Edit: Didn’t think an explicit /s was necessary ;)

TransplantedSconie ,

Lol no.

40-50+ hours a week. Two days off.

I love how delusional this company is thinking they’re going to open back up for business like anyone would trust them ever again.

solstice ,

They were running a ~$50 billion company on quickbooks (!) without a single actual accountant on board.

The CEO brought in to manage the sinking ship said they were “grossly inexperienced and unsophisticated individuals who failed to implement virtually any of the systems or controls that are necessary for a company…”

This is the same CEO that managed the Enron debacle, mind you.

So, I’m starting to think these FTX folks are not exactly smart reasonable people.

It’s nowhere near that. Their benefits are paid by the teamsters/dues. Their pay raises from their current top rate is here on page 41. teamster.org/…/UPDATED-ENGLISH-BLACKLINE-MASTER-T…

If the top actual PAY is about $75k/yr, then are they getting $100K/yr in benefits? WTF benefits could cost that much? Are they flying everyone to the Mayo Clinic for checkups every year? Gold toilets? wtf?

AngryMob ,

Theyre adding every single little thing that they can to reach that value. 401k matching, employer’s health insurance, vision, dental, paid time off, those are all big easy ones. But they probably have idiotic values for all the fine print benefits too. Think of free legal advice, financial advice, personal counseling, reimbursements for education opportunities, travel, uniform cleaning, etc etc.

Should it all add up to 100k and be boasted about? No… But of course they will anyway.

Ryumast3r ,

My company used to also include social security and Medicare taxes in my “benefits”. They also included things like “office space” and other things I had to have for work like my work computer.

It made it rack up to a ridiculously high number.

Overzeetop ,

Man, that’s a lot of words. If I read it right, the base rate for a full time driver with more than 4 years in the position is $35.xx/hr. With most good benefits packages in the 20-40k range, and allowing for a few adjustments, I’m guessing that the 170k is probably something like 2600-3000 hours a year. Most 40hr jobs with benefits are only about 1850-1900 hours/yr, including holidays and paid leave.

High_Plains_Drifter ,

It’s actually 40 something now. If you pull the UPS Teamsters National Agreement for 2018-2023 there’s cost of living language in there that put them over $40. So let’s call it $50, plus the $2.50 raise that was just negotiated is $52.50. $52.50x40=$2100.00 x 52 = $109,200. Factor in benefits if you’d like on top of that.

Overzeetop ,

That’s about in line with what I figured. Iirc they are all hourly, not salaried, and there are (anecdotally) very few weeks that are under 40 hours. 170k less $30k in benefits (ex- my fam healthcare for 3 ppl costs me $22k/yr - add disability, life, retirement contributions…) is 140k in direct pay. At $50/hr, that’s 2800hrs.

isthingoneventhis ,

gl keeping people for 4 years, they’re probably going to pull some shady shit and make it absolutely miserable from management side.

The Top Rate shall be $35.94 plus the general wage increases provided in Section 1 above.

Increases are:

  • 2023 two dollars and seventy-five cents ($2.75)
  • 2024 seventy-five cents ($0.75)
  • 2025 seventy-five cents ($0.75)
  • 2026 one dollar ($1.00)
  • 2027 two dollars and twenty-five cents ($2.25)

So that means in 2027, it’ll be $43.44/hour, which at 40 hours a week comes to $90,355.20/year. To reach $170k/year, they’d have to work 75.26 hours a week, I know drivers do a lot of OT, but I’m not sure about that much!

Edit: To put more perspective on this, 170k/year at 40 hours is $81.73/hour, not too far from double their $43.44/hour

SheeEttin ,

The $170k number is total compensation, including health insurance, dental, etc

mikeboltonshair ,

This is the same shit my place is going through right now (we find out if it will be ratified today actually) we don’t have any paid sick days and the new cba has a whopping 3 in there, the company is tacking that on as more money in your pocket like as if it’s somehow more per hour

how is this not a HIPAA violation?

chaogomu ,

General bigotry.

It is a HIPAA violation, but the bigots say that trans people aren't people, so HIPAA doesn't apply. They fucked around and now just might find out. Sadly, they've already done a lot of damage be releasing this information.

@bauhaus@lemmy.ml avatar

so fucked up

lostinapotatofield ,

It likely fell under a permitted disclosure, as the AG stated they were pursuing a billing fraud investigation. Maybe still a case, if the disclosure was unnecessarily broad though.

Per Health and Human Services:

Health Oversight Activities. Covered entities may disclose protected health information to health oversight agencies (as defined in the Rule) for purposes of legally authorized health oversight activities, such as audits and investigations necessary for oversight of the health care system and government benefit programs.

wow, thanks for the very specific answer.

as always, cruelty is the point.

athos77 , in FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried jailed in New York; judge says crypto mogul tampered with witnesses

Are his parents going to lose their house now?

ImFresh3x ,

No. Bail is collateral if a person fails to appear. Bail term revocation and bail bond forfeiture are entirely different things.

athos77 ,

The New York government [pdf warning] says [emphasis added]:

While the case is open, the defendant must obey all court orders and attend all
scheduled court appearances. If not, the court may revoke bail, which means the
bond is forfeited and you lose your collateral.

ImFresh3x ,

He wasn’t charged by NY state. The southern district of NY(SDNY) is a federal court. In federal court:

When a defendant’s bail is revoked for failing to appear or violating a bail condition, any money put up for bond can be forfeited.

Though they can both happen for the same reasons, they are separate things, and one doesn’t happen automatically because of the other.

In this case:

His bail was revoked. His bail was not forfeited.

I don’t think in any state bail revocation makes bail forfeiture automatic. They’re separate actions.

The court would make two separate rulings:

The defendants bail terms are revoked.

The defendant’s bail shall be forfeited.

And the headline would read Bankman bail revoked and forfeited

athos77 ,

Thank you for the clarification: I appreciate it, and I leave a more knowledgeable person than I was before!

ImFresh3x , (edited )

Good natured discussion is contagious. Thank you for being so chill.

I should have mentioned this too::

To be fair, this statement I made incorrect in a way:

No. Bail is collateral if a person fails to appear.

It’s loosely (or more so) implies something that is somewhat incorrect. In a way, implies that bail is only for collateral. And that’s not true either. As you mentioned. The fact that bail can be forfeited for numerous things all lends a secondary purpose of insuring that not only they appear, but also comply with other terms of their bail.

I didn’t mean to imply that was it’s only purpose. I meant to imply it was the primarily purpose, but most importantly I meant to make a distinction between revocation and forfeiture.
