So a while back in April I went to Six Flags. I was quite excited, as I had not been to Six Flags since I was in Middle School. However, it sucked ass.You pay 40–50 dollars for a ticket, and in exchange you get to ride as many rides as you want in a 11 hour period. However, at most, one will ride perhaps 5–6 rides, maybe 8–10 if he is lucky. Why? The lines are long. Not just regular long, extreme long. In the amount of time one stands in line for a ride, you couldWatch 2 Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network/Disney cartoons, or a single episode of Breaking Bad.Finish a 45 minute classComplete 5 matches of Team Deathmatch on a normal COD game, or get to perhaps round 20–25 on COD treyarch zombiesComplete a workout that can burn almost 500–600 caloriesPrepare a delicious mealI don’t fucking know, something that takes 45 mins-1 hourAnd that is just for one ride. That adds up. For the amount of time one spends waiting in long lines at Six Flags in one day, one could…Take an AMTRAK train from NYC to Philadelphia 2 times and back, or Boston to NYC 1 time and backFly from NYC to LondonWatch 6, maybe 7 episodes of Breaking Bad, 3 American movies, or 2 Bollywood moviesPlay 25–30 matches of Team Deathmatch on a standard COD gameEtc.But it gets better (or worse)The scumbags that run the park don’t allow you to bring in your own food and drink. That’s reasonable, as the park restaurants have to turn a profit, but they go to extremes. No food and water includes, lets say a 500 ml bottle of tap water, or a butterfinger you got at a gas station for 78 cents. They allow nothing, so you have to buy their shitty $40 pizzas or their $4 Dasani bottles so you don’t starve or dehydrate.Oh, you want some water but the security confiscated your bottle? Fuck you, pay me. You want some food but don’t want to go broke? Fuck you, pay me. You don’t want to spend 1 hour for a ride that lasts 30 seconds? Fuck you, pay me.(What is the difference between the Mob and the Six Flags Entertainment Corporation? One is an organized racket filled with greedy rats that have the intention of making as much money possible, without any concern for people, the other is the Mob)It does get worse. Down in Georgia, summer temperatures can go to more than 100 degrees. The lack of air conditioned areas makes it god awful, as you are covered in sweat, and need water, so you end up spending 10–15 dollars on water just so you don’t die. The employees are awful. If I were to say that employees at Six Flags are lazy, incompetent, and fucking stupid, I would be complementing them. I waited 40–50 minutes in line just to get some food. The line wasn’t even long, the people running it were slow. Ever seen the movie Zootopia? Remember the scene with the DMV filled with sloths? WELL I’D RATHER HAVE FUCKING SLOTHS RUNNING IT THAN THESE PRICKS!And this isn’t a rant against amusement parks in general, as I would argue the Universal Studio parks in Orlando are better. Yes, they are more expensive, and the lines are long, but I don’t recall them being as long. Plus, Universal Studios is more clean and efficiently run. They don’t treat bottles of water or cans of coke like hand grenades, and they don't pat you down to find one. There are much more air conditioned areas in case you can’t handle the Florida weather. I also remember how even though the line in the food court was several fold larger than the line at Six Flags, but we managed to obtain and pay for our food in a fraction of the time.Anyways, fuck Six Flags. I hope they go bankrupt again and don’t recover.(Cool fact, did you know the name Six Flags comes from the original park in Arlington, Texas called Six Flags over Texas. That name comes from the six flags representing the 6 nations (Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate States of America, and the United States of America) that once controlled parts or all of Texas. Coincidentally, six is also the amount of flagpoles I wish the CEO of Six Flags would shove up his, well, you know.

In California, it is “actionable” to be required to do that on your _own_ time.In short, if a company requires work that’s unpaid and you’re not on salary (are an hourly employee, but not being paid that hourly rate for said work), then you could sue them and/or bring it up to your state’s labor board as a potential violation.Meaning, any company that requires this sort of work to be done without payment as such would do well to review that policy with legal counsel.Note: We (SwiftCloud ) have legal staffing firm clients and attorney clients, but are not an attorney. Laws for your state or jurisdiction will vary.

You don’t fill out W2 forms, employers issue them to employees in January to report earnings and withholding. I assume you mean the W4, which tells the employer how much to withhold. There is no reason to fill one out before being hired, particularly since it includes your SSN which you shouldn’t divulge to anyone unless necessary

NOOOOOOO. You are talking to a military romance scammer. I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does provide all the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave. Trust me, I lived it, you are probably being scammed. I am just trying to show you examples that you are most likely being connned.Below is an email response I received after I sent an inquiry to the US government when I discovered I was scammed. I received this wonderful response back with lots of useful links on how to find and report your scammer.

Thanks for the A2A, John.The question is: “"Is there a Canadian equivalent to the I-9, which all US jobholders must fill out to prove legal residency in the United States.”Jeff provided a very good response. Everyone who is employed must have a SIN number. Everyone over the age of 18, and therefore legally obliged to file income taxes whether or not (s)he has an income, must have a SIN number. While there is no obligation for minors to have a SIN number, many parents will apply for SIN numbers for their children, especially if they have RESPs (Registered Education Savings Plan) because the federal goverment will also contribute to the savings in the child’s RESP.Employers must ask for and record the SIN number of every employee. Employers must provide each employee with a statement of income that includes the SIN number.SIN numbers are only required by a few government agencies, and even fewer private organizations (e.g., banks) and then only (ultimately) for tax purposes.Canadians are discouraged from using their SIN number in any other context. The SIN number is considered a sensitive identifier and not to be used lightly. Indeed, most government agencies are not allowed to ask for a person’s SIN number. See: Protecting your Social Insurance NumberYou must have a SIN number to be legally employed in Canada. In order to obtain a SIN number you must be a Canadian citizen, or a permanent resident, or a legal temporary resident (e.g., on a work visa). (See What documents do I need to apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN)? )The upshot is that, once the employer knows you have a valid SIN number, it is assumed that you are legally entitled to work. The employer would know if your SIN is valid because (s)he has to submit payroll taxes and ensure that appropriate income taxes are paid on your behalf. If the SIN number is not valid, Revenue Canada will let your employer know pretty quickly!Edit: added “not”: Indeed, most government agencies are NOT allowed to ask for a person’s SIN number.

I-9, W-4, state W-4, and some sort of state new hire form. The New hire form is for dead beat parents. Don’t inform the state in time and guess what? You become personally liable for what should have been garnished from their wages.From the sound of your question I infer that you are trying to make this a DIY project. DO NOT. There are just too many things that you can F up. Seek yea a CPA or at least a payroll service YESTERDAY.

Online work, freelancing (aka independent contractor) and distant work. A lot of graphic design, tech (aka Computer Science) and numbers related work can be done from your own home. You will probably won’t get the benefits of working for a huge corporation, but it sure beats being homeless.The term “Legally allowed to work at X country” is complicated to apply to independent contractors hired over the internet because technically, the internet is not a country.I used to play in a Private Server for the videogame World of Warcraft. They offered developpers who applied for their team a salary between $4,000 and $5,000 USD a month. It’s quite low for a developper job, but the only requirements were having access to Skype to talk with your team mates.There are many legal companies that offer distance jobs.You can be a private accountant for small LLC’s or individuals and work from anywhere in the globe. A graphic artist has many websites availables to freelance and sell their workThe problem is that many freelancers don’t report self-enployment income tax. And some banks in the US (or other countries) do allow foreigners to open bank accounts just by providing your passport, proof of income and an address.Therein lies the problem. You don’t report taxes in the US because you’re not living in the US and are not a resident or citizen. But also, the tax offices (the IRS in the US or the Canadian Revenue Agency in Canada have no jurisdiction over foreing banks, so they don’t know that you’re making money.Freelancing is legal, but reporting taxes is something of a mix between legal income and working-under-the table income.The thing is, when people do that, they are often limited to a single bank account. If you start sending money from your US bank account to your Canadian bank account, the CRA might get suspicious because you’re supposedly unemployed, so they will wonder where you’re getting that money from, and might even ask for proof. Are you selling drugs? Traficking people? Or do you have a proof of self-employment income? Once you give that to them, they will obviously tax you and apply any penalties for tax evasion.
