You’re not being kind. Hard working service people across the city might make less money during a difficult time because you want to make things up and post them. I believe you are lying about this and that is why you are refusing to name the places where this has happened. I think you’re a very sick and sad individual who desperately wants validation and you posted something you thought would get upvotes. You can pretend you’re a good person, but the fact is you absolutely are not. You are hurting far more people than you are helping but you aren’t smart enough to realize that.

Everyone should down vote this u til the OP tells everyone the restaurants/bars that it’s happening at. Not sure why the OP would want all restaurants and bars to suffer with these allegations rather that naming the ones that supposedly did this.

People who read this might go to Hoboken or NYC instead. You’re hurting the whole city with this bullshit post because that’s what it is unless you’re willing to share the names.

Companies are given huge tax breaks to open up offices in certain states and cities with the expectations that those employees for the offices will pay taxes and spend their money in the state or the city. Companies are unwilling to give up those tax breaks but need to hire people at lower costs, so they hire someone in Texas, payroll them through an NYC office so the company can keep the tax break.

Anyone saying that I am wrong has no idea how this works. I have been dealing with this every day since CoVid started and people started moving out of cities.

Just because you are remote and live in NJ doesn’t mean you won’t pay NYC tax. You still have to be affiliated with an office for tax purposes so if your company doesn’t have an NJ office you will still be aligned with your NYC office and have to pay NYC taxes (and NJ taxes).

I work for a staffing company and have to explain this to hundreds of dumb IT workers who work remotely in Arkansas or Texas but are affiliated with the NYC office. They pay both taxes too.

Either way, don’t come to Jersey City, it’s the most expensive city in the US so if you can’t afford NYC, you can’t afford here either.
