You can commit theft by stealing your employees’ wages, which may result in their homelessness, starvation, etc, and if you get caught the worst that will happen is you gotta pay them the amount you stole.
Would I get this same deal if I walked into Walmart and took $200 out of the register? Of course not.

I think that has something to do with corporate personhood. This happens a lot, and usually nothing is done about it at all.

Sure but corporations can still be held liable and have penalties exacted upon them. That rarely ever happens with regards to wage theft.
The best you can hope for, as an employee or as a functioning member of society, is that years of litigation result in a settlement.

Do you think these Krispy Kreme workers denied overtime pay had years worth of capital to finance a lawsuit, let alone float their expenses for the duration of the DOL investigation? Laughable.

Wage theft happens everywhere.
If you’ve clocked in you’ve probably been victimized by your boss without even noticing.
I never noticed until I started enforcing labor policies and shit and I was like no fuckin way most people volunteer to have wages stolen.

What is the incident? I thought he fucked a prostitute and paid her to not publicize it. Shouldn’t Stormy be the one considered the criminal in this incident?

Not a problem for me... Let's just say I've stolen at LEAST as many hours ;-)

When an employee has certain skillsets it becomes quite difficult to fire them. One of my coworkers at my last job threw a giant orange mallet at an office lady (on multiple occasions), and his welding helmet... and various other things. He wasn't even reprimanded. They just avoid him now.

I didn't like the guy, and I thought he should be fired. He was a grumpy old man, like 5' tall... One time some people came in to discuss heat stroke or some shit, and somehow they ended up giving him a blood pressure test.. and it was like 180.. They told him to go home and he told them to fuck off and went back to work.. Motherfucker was hopped up on adderall and painkillers every day.

Why would they need capital for that? Wage an hour law has statutory attorney's fees. Meritorious plaintiffs have no problem getting attorneys.

People making a hair over minimum wage don’t have the time or money to engage in an extended legal battle that they likely won’t even win, merit or not.
The inherent precarity is why employers get away with this shit. I think it’s pretty obvious that wage theft wouldn’t amount to $50 billion a year if meritorious plaintiffs always got their due.

Certainly people avoid litigation, but it isn't for lack of attorneys willing to take low-dollar wage cases.

Trump lied to his attorney when he said there were no more classified documents at mar-a-lago. The lawyer then submitted a false affidavit to the court based on that lie.
