Hey,

So this isnt me, this is my sister but she doesnt use reddit.

The short of it is her company does bike to work, shes worked there years but never availed of it, decided last month to apply and she had two options, full payment from her next months salary or broken down over 12 months, she chose 12 months and this is verified in the completion order through her company portal.

Her company have taken the full amount of the bike from her wages this month and after some back and forth with her payroll section and bike to work area they say they acknowledge the mistake but said theres nothing they can do.

She's now down the vast majority of her months wages now and cant afford her bills

Is there any legal recourse here?

Edit: thanks everyone for your comments, ive provided them to her, hopefully she can get it sorted

Has streaming killed off movie outtakes?

Maybe I’m imagining it, but growing up it felt like bloopers/outtakes were everywhere. You’d get them during the end credits of comedies, hidden in DVD extras, or in those “making of” features where you saw actors breaking character and the cast genuinely having fun together.

Now with streaming, it feels like all of that has mostly disappeared. Movies just end, autoplay starts counting down, and that’s it. Even physical releases barely seem to focus on extras anymore because most people never buy them.

Some of the funniest moments I remember from older movies were the outtakes:

- Jackie Chan movies showing failed stunts and injuries

- Rush Hour bloopers

- Anchorman and Step Brothers improv reels

- Pixar and animated “fake bloopers”

- Even horror movies had funny behind-the-scenes moments that humanised the cast

I also miss DVD commentary tracks. Some of them were almost more entertaining than the movie itself. Things like Robert Downey Jr. refusing to break character during Tropic Thunder until the end of the commentary, or Ben Affleck absolutely roasting the logic of Armageddon to Michael Bay during the commentary track. Streaming kind of killed that whole era of bonus content.

It feels like we lost a small part of movie culture when DVDs died off. Weirdly, outtakes and commentary tracks also made actors feel more human and made movies feel more memorable.

Or am I just nostalgic and studios realised most people skipped them anyway?
