Somebody is going to get steamrolled by Icelandic labor laws. And it's not going to be the employee.

Edit: like this is seriously illegal in Iceland. Also, if you're going to be a corrupt and immoral business owner (evil really in this case), the number one thing you DON'T do is broadcast your nefarious intentions over a recordable medium.

I was absolutely sure this was some USA-as-usual post on lemmy. How insane do you have to be to write something like that in a country with working labor laws?

I wanna see the prosecutors face, tbh.

Even in the US this wouldn't fly. But the fact it's in any other developed nation other than the US, double yikes.
