Film and TV stations are offering AI positions at $200,000 to $1 million annually while Hollywood writers have been on strike for more than three months.
Should be noted that this is, effectively, a publicity stunt. The studios are never going to pay anyone on a W-2 $1m, let alone some asshole they only need to parade for the cameras before the writers cave
W2 is a tax form employers provide employees that shows what they made, state and federal taxes withheld, and other relevant information. The business keeps a copy, provides a copy to the employee, and submits a copy to the government for record keeping/tax purposes.
1099 is another form that gets referenced as well. It’s a form for “independent contractors.” It’s supposed to be an accounting for contracted work, but it’s often abused. In too many cases across many industries, some employers will misclassify employees to save themselves money and put the greater tax burden on the person working for them.
