  • “We at Apex Roofing & Restoration are truly heartbroken by the senseless death of a minor at a job site in 2019,” a spokesperson for the company said. “The tragic incident occurred when a subcontractor’s worker brought his sibling to a worksite without Apex’s knowledge or permission.”

    That’s why they do this subcontractor shit, not just as an excuse to deny the people who do their work benefits but to deflect blame whenever someone is injured/dies.

    The latest penalty of $117,175 comes from the Wage and Hour Division, but in December 2019, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration also cited Apex Roofing $159,118 after it said the company exposed employees to fall hazards.

    In a citation, OSHA officials said employees working nearly 50 feet above the ground didn’t have safety ropes and weren’t properly trained.

    Turns out they have a whole history of safety violations surprised-pika






  • The IRS tried to get me to pay 5 grand in taxes on a forgiven loan that never even existed to begin with. Like they even gave me an account number, I called up the bank (who I’m fully aware I’ve never borrowed money from) and they couldn’t find anything either. No amount of “this loan never existed, I spoke to the bank who confirms this loan never existed, I’m aware of all of my debt and I’m 100% positive I’ve never borrowed from them, what the fuck are you even talking about” would convince them. Finally I asked them to send me their documents supporting the loan, evidently that was enough and they’ve since dropped the issue. Still had to fight them for five years on this bullshit.

    I’m not rich either, when you factor in my student loans I have a negative net worth.
