As long as they are paying wages according to law, probably not much limiting of hours. Exception could be anything over 16 hours. Where I live, 12 hours is the max any employer will let you work. Too much chance of a lawsuit over exhaustion.

Why does Washington tax working people more than speculators

Why does Washington tax working people more than speculators?
The tax rate on working class people is much higher than the tax rate in financial speculation. Is the our Government actually making it more attractive to speculate/gamble than actually work hard for a living.

you ask too many questions. just do your work

We've lumped retired people in with hedge fund managers for taxing purposes. If you point out that the current structure of the Capital Gains tax means billionaires pay 17%, they'll hide behind the retirees who live off their mutual funds and say "You can't raises taxes on the elderly!"

I see why not. Some of the clientele are probably sex offenders themselves and not children.

Oh Ashlie you are a naughty naughty girl. However I don't think you would have a problem being a stripper as long as there are no kids around. Which there shouldn't be in a strip club.

Is it illegal for me to carry my pistol at work in Washington state

Is it illegal for me to carry my pistol at work in Washington state?
I have a CPL and our company recently fired someone who threatened to "Go Columbine on our asses." I just want to wear my pistol under my coat for a couple weeks until the dust settles. If you know the laws regarding this, and can give me the R.C.W. I would appreciate it. I will talk to my HR department and I do have a permit (CPL). They didn't fire the employee for threatening, they fired him because he was a liar and treated his employees like dirt. My problem is, I am at work for 4 hours in the morning before anyone gets there.

Most work places do not allow an employee to carry a weapon. Therefore, if you do, you can be terminated. So, I suggest that you read your employee handbook or ask someone in HR.
2 :
Your company probably has a policy of no weapons on its property. You would need a license and a concealed carry permit.*
3 :
It depends on your employer. If your employer bans firearms from the workplace and informed you previous to your bringing it to work, then yes, it is illegal, and you can be fired. If you were not informed of any such policy, then no, it isn't.
4 :
If your company fired someone for threatening, what will they do to you for carrying? They don't know your intentions, and frankly, until stuff hits the fan, neither do you. Best to carry a cell phone and be observant.
5 :
Unless you work in a place where concealed carry is forbidden by law, such as a bar or a school, then there is no law on the subject. The decision is then up to your employer. In my State - California - an employer is forbidden by law from not allowing employees to keep their legal gun in a vehicle in a company parking lot or parking garage, but he may decide not to allow them to carry it on their person in the work place if he chooses.

Not being from America, I can't personally understand why you would feel the need to carry a gun to work. I'm aware of the second amendment, promising not to infringe on your rights to bear arms but simply because that right is given to you does not mean you need to exercise it, in my country if someone took a gun to work with them we'd consider it highly unusual. I'd be interested to find out why you carry a gun with you to your workplace.

If you have a CPL then you should know the law!! DUH. But since you clearly do not, you can not carry a concealed weapon into any facility that has signs on the doors banning them. So check the front door. If there is a sign, then you are in violation of law and it is illegal. However, your business may have a company policy that says employees may not carry guns. In that case, carrying a concealed weapon is not illegal but it is grounds to be fired. RCW 9.41.300
