I pay a wage tax to work in Reading because I don’t live there. Is it like that for Philly? Live and work there, no tax, commute in, get taxed.

I haven’t actually worked in Reading for 3 years as I am remote now. I still pay it. Not gonna complain because I would like Reading to get it’s shit together.

Bingo. First company I worked for after college was salary and my manager forced OT on shit that was his job.

Maybe a year into being there we get switched to hourly and suddenly he was on your ass to clock out. I left about a year later and shortly thereafter got a letter from the DOL that I could take legal action if I choose to. Would have cost me more to get a lawyer for what amounted to a couple grand so I didn’t bother.

Absolutely agree with that. I don’t give a shit if they don’t have their own police force in these places. If PSP is going to do local police work, they should be getting paid for it. But they just say “we can’t afford police, do it for us but we aren’t paying you.” Let ‘em rot. Public services require money to operate, they aren’t a fucking charity.
