If they think they can get away with it doesnt matter. Obviously the only people commiting wage theft are the ones who think they can get away with it. Its up to the employee to ensure they do not get away with it.

Placing the blame on the victim to not be taken advantage of instead of blaming the one who is taking advantage of others is myopic as fuck.

No where did I blame victims. The original post made the claim that a lot of employers will refuse to pay. I said no a lot of employers wont do that because they would get sued out the ass. He said “if they think they can get away with it” which is a redundant statement, no employer who doesnt think they will get away with wage theft is going to still commit it. So then the original argument is still a lot of employers do not commit wage theft because they would get sued if they did. Employees should continue to take legal actions against employers who do not pay.
To think that employees standing up for their legal rights is victim blaming or licking capitalist boots is braindead.

This is literally victim blaming.
You literally do not understand the mechanisms behind systemic exploitation.
The original claim wasn’t that they will simply just “refuse to pay”, it is that they will take advantage of the convoluted system in order to exploit the vulnerable and desperate workers they are responsible for.
Trusting the legal system that was designed and run by capitalists to uphold the interest of workers is braindead bootlicking. Literally. Fuck off your naive bullshit.
