Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Absolute bullshit. Unintentional pay "mistakes" would also include a statistically huge percentage of overpayments, but when has that ever happened? What's more there's no question a significant portion of their drivers complained about the wage theft but Doordash ignored their "mistaken" underpayments until the city got involved.
This is systemic, deliberate wage theft that would have continued in NYC without Mamdani.
imagine doing a widdle, oopsy-doopsy, fucky-wucky of
$131million.
Having worked in a few corporations, I guarantee you there are corps are making big oopsies of much larger dollar amounts daily
You're not wrong. My wife works in liability. She's seen some fucking doozies. While it is true that companies do fuck up royally on an entirely too regular basis, it is rare to have a mayor step in on the side of the municipal working class and take their side in a dispute. Far more often, you need a crew of privately retained lawyers working the class to shake it out in your favor.
This is is less than $450 a person
Which is why they thought they could get away with it.
For the overwhelming majority of the country, that kind of money will make/break them. If you steal $450 out some people's pockets, you better ready to take a punch for it.
Wage theft is the largest kind of theft in America.
The fact you‘re forced to do wage labour is the largest theft of capitalism, period. Extracting the surplus value of your productivity … something something Marx Das Kapital.
Wage theft is just more of that, since you won‘t do shit about it. Except, … if you organize to build power and leverage. Only then there might be a chance to change things for the better.
That quote reads just like something an LLM would say after it broke containment. Pathetic!
Probably was someone asking a LLM to write an apology suitable for media.
exactly right… an "unintetional mistake" does not take a class action lawsuit to be addressed
