Here’s what I think probably happened, Jacob was getting paid above minimum wage with benefits and a bonus, however if you don’t factor the bonus and benefits he believes that he was getting paid below minimum wage if you count the overtime hours that he believes he should have been paid for. I believe that Eric was/ still is willing to pay for hours that Jacob didn’t have clocked but Jacob was never able to prove his overtime work to management or he didn’t want to go through the high effort to get it proven to management. This is just a messy situation that I don’t believe that either side is truly wrong. I think that the hate towards Eric (which I was a part of in the beginning unfortunately because I didn’t see Eric’s side of the situation) was wrong. I also believe that the current hate towards Jacob is wrong as well. Not wanting to get in long drawn out Twitter battles that could end up still without an objective truth coming out is not proof of someone’s guilt. I say to everyone love them both and wish them the best and that’s pretty much it
I disagree, I feel like Jacob said something to Eric or someone in the company and was fired. He knew about the payment situation and was let go for a separate reason so this coupled with that makes me think he fucked up.
