The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.
This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.
The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

A friend of mine was at a small business tyrant's tutoring company, and they made him sign a contract saying that he was an independent contractor with a non-compete clause. Obviously illegal and contradictory but it still made it hard for him to keep his clients when he decided to stop being exploited.
Oh, I would definitely advise not to tell one's boss that you're about to be their competitor. I'm fortunate enough that my boss was enough of a spacy dumbass that I genuinely don't think he put it together that me leaving and my clients leaving were connected. For anyone planning something similar: part of a tutor's job is to build a connection with the students and parents they're working with, so it's not unusual for a client to walk when their tutor isn't available. People aren't coming to tutoring because they love your boss.
