why did you have to report them? that's kind of cruel, don't you think?
How else was he supposed to get the employee and employer to pay their fair share of taxes? Seems reasonable to me. Working under the table is not acceptable.
Someone I used to know with an MBA from MIT did four years in the federal pen for income tax evasion, money laundering, hot computer parts, etc. Came out and right into another software marketing job.

This is a quandary that has troubled me almost as much as the homeless situation.
Both are a case of American double standards, and we do not seem to be working to resolve the dichotomy.
Basically, though our justice system says once someone has served their time, they are done, but publicly we discriminate against them forever after. (Your friend should be glad he did not touch a child.) It's probably why we have one of the world's highest recidivism rates.
The bottom line is that employers are free to choose whomever they wish, and proving discrimination is costly and time-consuming. We don't even want a Big Brother system performing the monitors, even if the felons had the money to press charges.
I've come to the conclusion that there is so much corruption in today's big business that I don't want any part of it. I am focusing my job search on serving employers that serve my community, and share my values. If that fails, I will find a way to make my own job. It won't have the benefits of Corporate America, but frankly they've become so watered-down in the past thirty years that it won't really matter.
I suggest your friend use the local job training programs to refine his innate talents -- NOT robbery related, and find work on the basis of what he can do, not what he's done.
The last company I worked for had a case-by-case policy. We wouldn't hire anyone who had been convicted of a violent crime, end of story. We did have a few felons who had gone to jail for drugs and rehabilitated themselves..
That's funny because drug offenders have astronomical recidivism rates.

Yes, but like the post said, it was a case by case basis. I don't see why businesses are so discriminatory of felons, well felons who are not businessmen or state governors, etc. If a person's crime had nothing to do with theft, embezzlement, robbery or like offenses what is Dollar General afraid of?
Just on a side note, I heard that ex felons aren't entitled to any federal assistance? If that's so, what happens if an exfelon manages to get a job, but then gets laid off, does that mean they can collect regular state EU but not the federal EUC extensions?
If my employer hired a guy that had committed a violent crime in the past, and then I became a victim of additional violence because he snapped one day because he didn't like the fact that my stapler was red and his was black, you bet your butt I'd sue both him and the employer who failed to take a reasonable stadard of care in the hiring process.
Oh god..........typical woman......talking about suing people left and right. That's why this is still a man's world and not a woman's. Women sue.........men punch back. LMAO!
Men fight....it's in our blood. If I get into a fight in a bar because some guy threatens me or says something to my wife.....I could go to jail and become a felon. My life could be ruined.
Back in the day.....men solved their differences with a little rolling around and bloody noses. And we wonder why our kids, especially our boys are so screwed up nowadays. Take away their recess, indoctrinate them into a feminized world.........LOL! And women say men are ruining the world. Pathetic! The world especially corporate America is becoming too goddamn feminized.

Yeah and the don't fight fair......cough Lorena Bobbit.....cough! LOL.
Seriously though, I'm sure I'll probably get an "infraction" or be warned by the city data "Monitors" by the above post but it's true. One of the reasons corporate America is so screwed up is because dare I say it the female species. Look at HR. It's one of the most inefficient, most financially draining, most fluff based, filled with policies and procedural crap entities of a company. And guess what....it's dominated by WOMEN!
Look at the academic atmosphere our young boys and teenage boys are growing up in nowadays. We've taken away their physical education, recess, and are suing them for playing tag or "rough" housing. I mean my god I feel sorry for male kids that have to go to school nowadays. It's a completely feminized environment. Look at Hollywood. Look at the commericals on t.v. Men are constantly being made fun of and we are always portrayed as stupid, dirty, unkept, etc. LMAO! Women have been sold a bill of goods that's for sure. They were sold on this idea that if they entered the workforce and became career women and bucked their predominantly natural instincts of being a mother and raising kids or taking care of their husband or family etc. that they would be happier. Nothing is further from the truth. Women are miserable nowadays. Look around society.......eating disorders, hypertexting, obsessive shopping, high divorce rates, promiscuity that rivals most men. Oh brother.......... And now us men are sittiing around holdling our dicks asking ourselves well what the hell are we supposed to do? We were supposed to be the bread winners, take care of women and be the man.
Both sexes have been having major identity crises for decades now. And it's only getting worse!
Just like we've all been brainwashed into believing capitalism is the only answer to all of planetary earth's and humanity's economic woes.........women have been brainwashed by feminism.
