Does anyone else find that even though the cannabis industry is booming, budtenders lack basic benefits like decent pay, healthcare, PTO, vacation, maternity leave? My company was acquired recently by a much larger company and they considered my pregnancy a “pre-existing condition” therefore I got nothing for maternity leave although the prior company had pretty much accepted my claim. There’s much more but I’m pretty disgusted in this industry.

My nephew is a budtender and he was “promoted” to assistant manager and put on a low annual salary. They then put him on a 50 hour schedule without paying him OT. He was doing that for a month until I found out about it. And advised him that’s illegal. Now he asked two weeks ago “am I an exempt employee”. HR is “still working on it”

Umm yeah, some of the dispensary owners don’t know basic labor law.

I don’t think mat leave is required though?

The cannabis biz is not profitable. I recently sold most of my licenses because I couldn’t make money at it

May I ask what state you work in? Also, is this OT law the same in every state? I work in the industry at a manufacturing facility. They've been known to require salary staff to work 50+ hours weekly without any compensation.

Third question: I’m new in the DC area, are PDMs invited to firm socials? Trying to make friends! Thanks in advance

Looking for opinions. I’m an IW with 2 yrs experience working from home at a Fortune 500 company w/ excellent benefits, target salary 75k.

Most people make much more than this once their comp fully ramps up, but, I would have to work in the office. I declined the offer, but now the CEO wants to meet with me several months later.
