I have lived here 18 years which is half my life and experienced and witnessed unscrupulous abuse from business owners and managers. Be it being forced to work off the clock, not being given breaks (or receiving mandatory compensation for such occurrences), not being paid overtime, being sexually harassed by bosses, being harassed by abusive management for speaking out on behalf of others, and so much worse.

The authorities are flaccid lame ducks and seem to kneel to the interests of these abusers. What I really want to know is does the overall Santa Barbara community support workers in the sense that they object to the sorts of things I listed above?

I really love this town. My greatest gripe is seeing honest hard working dish washers, cooks, servers, house keepers and other such essential workers just treated like shit. Do Santa Barbians really care?

I have a nice condo @ the Carousel in OC and my friend is unable to make it due to work. The room has 2 beds and there is also a sofa bed in the living room available. I am crashing in the master with my own bathroom so there is a bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchen up for grabs.

The condo has both ocean front and bay front balconies where you can see the fireworks. It is available immediately and for the next few nights. I am a 36 year old chef here with my doggo looking to make the most of this situation. Whoever has a considerable offer feel free to DM. If nothing good comes up I'll just keep the place to myself.
