Janis Ian Recounts Her Renegade Teen Years Janis Ian wrote "Society's Child," a song about an interracial couple in the 1960s, when she was 15 years old, a song that she says everyone hated her for. In a new memoir, Ian recounts her life as an activist and musician.
Echoes of 1968
Janis Ian Recounts Her Renegade Teen Years
< Janis Ian Recounts Her Renegade Teen Years
July 23, 20081:44 PM ET
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Melissa Block.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
And I'm Robert Siegel.
The more attentive listeners among you know that we're running an occasional series among, I admit, a great many series that we're running nowadays, a series called "Echoes of 1968." I take a special interest in it because, unlike most of my colleagues on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, I actually remember 1968.
But evidently, I don't remember it very clearly. I recently saw a new book that I thought was an echo of 1968. Its cover says, "Society's Child: My Autobiography" by Janis Ian.
(Soundbite of song "Society's Child)
Ms. JANIS IAN (Singer/Author): (Singing) Come to my door, baby. Face is clean and shining black as night. My mother went to answer you know that you looked so fine.
SIEGEL: Actually, I figured wrong. Janis Ian's revolutionary hit record "Society's Child" is actually an echo of 1966. She was all of 15 when she wrote it, a rock song in the voice of a white teenage girl addressing her black teenage boyfriend. I think of it as revolutionary because it was a pop music hit, electric instruments and all, taking on a serious social theme. That didn't happen much in 1966. Well, several years later in the 1970s, Janis Ian wrote and recorded another very memorable song, an anthem of the adolescent outsider.
(Soundbite of song "At Seventeen")
Ms. IAN: (Singing) I learned the truth at 17 that love was meant for beauty queens, and high school girls with clear-skinned smiles who married...
SIEGEL: Janis Ian was born in 1951. So, when she was 17, it was 1968.
Ms. IAN: To me, 1968 was the beginning of the end. It might as well have been 1969 because it sort of wrapped up everything that had begun in the '60s. And I think for those of us who had been active in civil rights and been active in the Vietnam War protests, it really became a very clear indicator that we had totally underestimated the powers that be.
I think all of us thought that by the '70s - at the latest, the '80s, all the world's problems would be solved and everyone would be getting along fine. And instead, we saw that Martin Luther King was assassinated that year, Robert F. Kennedy died. We saw that it was going to be a lot more difficult that I think we had thought.
SIEGEL: Where do you think that extraordinary sense of possibility came from among young people in 1968? It seems to have crossed borders all over the world and popped up in different continents, young people believing that, clearly, everything was about to change.
Ms. IAN: I think it was just time. The world had come through the two big wars. And there was that incredible mood in America in the '50s that anything was possible. And my whole generation was raised on that mood, that we could be anything, we had the right to be anything, the women's movement had started, the gay rights movement had started. There was just freedom in the air, Robert, it was just an incredibly heady time.
SIEGEL: Well, you were incredibly precocious. "Society's Child," the song that you wrote, you were famous for it by the time you were 15 years old.
Ms. IAN: That's right. That's a tough way to start with the song that a lot of people hate you for.
SIEGEL: It's a song about interracial dating. I mean, to the adult Readers Digest (unintelligible) you here.
(Soundbite of laughter)
SIEGEL: And it was something that you wouldn't have imagined Teresa Brewer recording a song about interracial dating. You would have assumed folk musicians did that sort of thing, not pop music that lots of teenagers would listen to.
Ms. IAN: But I think that was the other very cool thing that started happening in '67, '68. There was a real push to blend the genres and to let the genres talk to each other. And there were promoters like Bill Graham who would insist on blending genres in the show. So, New York's Village Theater, at one point, if you wanted to see Janis Ian, me, you also had to sit through B.B. King, and you had to sit through Taj Mahal and The Doors, and vice versa with any of the others.
There was a wonderful cross-fertilization on all fronts, on the clothing front, on the music front, even on books and radio. And because of that, I think you saw this incredible flowering of creativity where folk singers were recording with pop in the background, and pop singers were trying to record folk songs, and classical people like Bernstein were actually listening to people like me.
SIEGEL: The idea - this may be completely uneventful to any person in America today, but the idea that a song about a black boyfriend appearing at his white girlfriend's house, that there would be electronic instruments behind that...
Ms. IAN: Hmm.
SIEGEL: ...was in some way utterly jarring in 1966. That was something, if anyone sang about it, it was with, as we now say, an acoustic guitar and not much else.
Ms. IAN: And it certainly wasn't about to be a national hit like "Society's Child" became. You know, when I sat down to write this autobiography, I started going through the old press clippings. And I had forgotten just how volatile it was, how in PTA meetings, they would be bringing up the song and opening up the subject for discussion. The amount of hate mail that I got, the amount of sheer - being spit at in the street, things like that, that I had conveniently misplaced in my memory, came rushing back.
SIEGEL: I want you to recall when the idea for such a song came to you.
Ms. IAN: I was sitting on a bus, either going to school or from school in East Orange, New Jersey, where we were living at the time. I was 14, and I was one of, I think four, maybe five Caucasian kids in an all-black school and neighborhood, very middle-class, very upwardly mobile neighborhood. But still, I was definitely the outsider.
And I was on the bus watching a young couple. He was black and she was white. And they were young, and they were holding hands. And they were just oblivious to the way people were glaring at them, not just white people, I mean, everyone was glaring at them but me. And I started thinking about how hard that was going to be and wondering whether their parents even knew that they were dating, and if their parents didn't know, whether anybody on the bus was going to tell on them.
And it sort of started evolving into the song where I wondered whether the girl would be able to take the pressure. And in the end, I thought, she probably wouldn't. It probably wouldn't last. And that was too bad, but it made for a good song.
SIEGEL: So, the girl in the song, far from being a young, romantic Joan of Arc here, she gives in. She says, well, I can't see you anymore. Maybe when we're older, maybe times will change, she says. She cops out.
Ms. IAN: She does cop out. And that was part of why I found it so odd that people would get so upset over "Society's Child" because to me, the song had the ending that the conservatives or the people who didn't believe in mixing races wanted. So, I didn't understand why everybody was so bothered and making threats against me and threats against radio stations and what not.
SIEGEL: Maybe it was the album-cut length, that some people just didn't get to the end of the song and didn't...
SIEGEL: ...and didn't hear the end of the lyric.
Ms. IAN: That was an argument. And I remember the record company wanting to know, couldn't we cut out the second verse? And I said, well, it won't make any sense. Sure, but it really won't make any sense. That was pretty funny.
SIEGEL: Janis Ian, thank you very much for talking with us.
Ms IAN: Robert, an honor and a privilege.
(Soundbite of song "Society's Child")
Ms. IAN: (Singing) Baby, I'm only society's child. When we're older things may change. But for now, this is the way they must remain. I say I can't...
SIEGEL: Janis Ian now lives in Nashville with her wife. Her book is called "Society's Child: My Autobiography."

I have some from my Grandfather.
He served with the Canadian Army in the European Campaign after D-Day
Here is his Army portrait

Relax,
I'm sure his grandpa is cool, and has some Killer stories.
I'm proud of Canadians who serve and who've served. I want to hear about their victories and triumphs. If his grandfather saw action - which I am sure he did, he must have had to fight in combat. So if he fought in Combat, chances are he killed a few people - and that's how it works. There is absolutely NO SHAME in this.
Mr Rogers had 72 confirmed kills in Vietnam… Many unconfirmed.
All tanker aces, snipers, ship captains, and pilots are compared on a "kills" basis. It is a point of PRIDE in doing your job, and being good at it, and being able to show that and recieve recognition as a HERO for your country for doing these deeds. I encourage FMG to talk about it openly.
Maybe he put 100 Nazi officers in their graves, who knows, until FMG says - that would be a worthy accomplishment to be proud of!
He did see a lot of action. Here are some pictures he took during battles to prove it.
Not sure what city this…was… before it was destroyed.

If you look at the first German POW up close he's smiling for the photo op. Probably tryed his best to befriend as many Allies as he could so he didn't get shot!

@McLovin1985:
My grandfather told me, that of all the people he encountered during WW2 it was the Germans that he liked best.
@ABWorsham:
It reminds me of that scene in Saving Private Ryan where they decided to let that German solider go because he was pleading for his life and being friendly etc. Then the bastard found another troop division and killed one of the Americans… I'm sure things like that happend…
I would have done this exact thing. All's fair in love and war man.
If it was Vietnam however, I would take no prisoners.

@Gargantua:
hey fmg what army did he serve? cuz it seems like te pow shots are canadian soldier and the first battle looks like americans.
This is a picture of my great grandfather in his World War One uniform, Capt. Archie Worsham of Camp Hospital 112.
Because Communists like politicians - don't deserve to live.
And I should make it clear…
Then the bastard found another troop division and killed one of the Americans…
that this would have been my course of action.
Thanks for sharing your picture. Does anyone else have some to share?

My Dad, Clifton W. Harwell, was in WW2. He will be 87 next month and still works every day at his job! He runs his own small business, Harwell Printing Company and has done so since 1956. He was an enemy artillery spotter using the "sound and flash" system to call in counter-battery fire against the Germans in the European Theatre of Operations. His unit was the –-(temporarily forgotten the #) FOB, standing for Field Observation Batallion in the 15th Corps, assigned the Patton's 3rd Army. He is a big (read BIG) Patton fan and saw the General on three different occasions. He saw a lot and has at least a hundred fascinating "war stories".
Years ago, my Dad he agreed to go see "Saving Private Ryan" with me,…and to tell the truth after the movie was over I could see he was dealing with some 'memories" of his service. He started talking them out and then wrote one down as an article in the country newspaper he edits and prints. He received a lot of good feedback from his readership and was encouraged by them to write some more articles. As he did so he not only ended up with a book's worth of memories but it really helped him to deal with these experiences and get past them.
I am obviously very proud of my Dad and his service. I have several dozen pics of him in the Army that I've had digitized and put on a CD. I would be very happy to share some or all of them with everyone in this forum if you can explain to me how to do it..
By the way, we started playing Axis & Allies back in the 1980's and about 8-9 months ago started playing the A&A 1940-Global version with a huge map, 48" x 108" professionally enlarged for us. I ask you,…how cool is it to play Axis & Allies with a real life WW2 vet? Tall Paul
Mr "ABWorsham",
I think that's a really fine pic of your granddad in his WW1 uniform. Are you named after him(the 3rd) or is your A&A.ORG handle in his honor?
By the way, you're info lists you as located in East Texas. Would that be anywhere close to the Longview, TX area? It would be nice to have a new player in our games if so. Also, my Dad and friends play in Shreveport, LA, just down the road. Tall Paul

My avatar photo is of my late father, armored division, 1st and 20th, under Gen. Ike. Was the top gunner/spotter on a Sherman. He enjoyed watching my brother and I and friends play Axis and Allies, though never played himself. I had the fortune to join him at an army reunion once, wow… the stories I heard. Despite growing up in the great depression and seeing the atrocities of WWII, his nickname was 'Jolly", because he was.
@Tall:
I'm named after him. He was the first, I'm the the 4th, my son is the 5th.
I live near Tyler, 45 mins away from Longview. I'll play A&A anytime. Give me a pesonal message and I'll give you my email and phone number.
Does one have to have a minumum number of posts to be able to up-load pics(of my Dad in WW2) or is it that I just don't know the process??? You're allowed to call me ignorant(grin) if you inform me how to accomplish it.
I was able to change my settings and add a pic of my Dad there, but it is so small and it feels a little unusual having his pic on my account. If it were his account, it would be named "Big H" as that's what he's been called for decades. Thanks, Tall Paul

WW2 75th Anniversary Poll–-#11---JUNE 1940
World War II History • • RJL518
Mussolini (and many others) thought the war all but won by Germany - hence the quote you post. From that starting point, with his political views and territorial aspirations, declaring war was an easy decision.
When you say "at this day and age" I think you mean with the largely pro-facist Italian mindset of 1940? So ignoring hindsight and my own morality?
Please clarify RJL.
WW2 75th Anniversary Poll–- #7--FEBRUARY 1940
As I recall, when the Norwegains protested to the British that Britain had violated Norwegian neutrality by entering Norwegian waters and boarding the Altmark, the British retorted that the Altmark had violated Norwegian neutrality by anchoring in Norwegian waters while retaining a cargo hold full of prisoners of war. The British also apparently implied that the Norwegians had been either openly complicit in this action or, at the very least, negligent in not discovering the German ruse. My understanding of international law is that belligerent ships entering neutral waters are required to release any prisoners of war they are carrying – a good example being, ironically enough, the British prisonners who were released in neutral Uruguay by Captain Langsdorff when the Graf Spee (the ship supplied by the Altmark) anchored in Montevideo harbour. At any rate, the British position vis a vis Norway was basically, "You drop your protest and we'll drop ours." Which they did.
WW2 75TH ANNIVERSARY POLL #6–JANUARY 1940--THE MECHELEN INCIDENT
@RJL518:
Do you guys think that Germany DID change their attack plans after the plane had crashed?Â
I haven't looked at the linked article, but one thing to remember is that the German plans for invading western Europe changed substantially (and many times) between the fall of Poland and the invasion of the Low Countries – so it would be hard to say whether this incident was (if at all) exclusively responsible for any particular changes a plan that was already evolving.

Hey Garg. Man I wish I could ask him. I spent one weekend with him at his cottage the week after the at the time Premier Bill Davis was there. A few years later he found out he had aggressive cancer. Being a man's man he didn't want anybody to see him in his weak and dying state and died with only his wife at his side a few weeks later. I'll ask my mom tho, we were just talking about them as her 90th b-day was last week and mom went.
Man that Berlin Air Lift was one hell of a heroic effort. A pivotal moment in the cold war in my opinion.
75th WW2 Anniversary Polls–#1 AUGUST 1939
Yes Marc, but in that case UK and France could just as well accepted the proposal from the Sovjet Foreign minister Litvinov and marched into Germany in 1933 to arrest Hitler. After all, Hitler did threat to attack USSR in his book Mein Kampf, so nobody could say they didn't know. It looks like the capitalist Brits hated the commies so much, they wanted Germany to grow strong and kill the commies. So no, I don't think the Brits or the French would have done anything to prevent the war from starting. It had to be prevented by someone else, like the Terminator coming to 1936 by accident, and mistaking Hitler for John Connor

Leinster react well to shock opener
21 December 2009 09:40am
By Westgate
Michael Cheika's Leinster produced another impressive European performance
© INPHO
Leinster head coach Michael Cheika says he has been impressed with the way in which his side have responded to a disappointing start to the defence of their European crown.
Having stormed led the Magners League outfit to continental glory in May of this year, Leinster began the current campaign as one of the tournament favourites.
But a shock home defeat to London Irish in the opening round of action led critics to question their credentials and suggest that an early exit may well be on the cards for the Dubliners.
Since then, Leinster have been in imperious form, racing to a bonus point win against Brive in France in Round 2, before claiming the maximum 10 points from their double header with the Scarlets.
"We have reacted well since London Irish," said Cheika.
"We haven't panicked. We just got back to our game. We had to make some difficult decisions on certain games and we have also had to try and build for the league as well.
"So, bar that first Heineken Cup game we have done well - I'm happy that we're still in it."
But while Cheika admits that the champions' current form is particularly pleasing, he and his players have no intentions of getting carried away.
Leinster still have to host Brive before travelling to London Irish in the final round of the pool stages for what could well be a winner takes all fixture.
And with five games still left to play before they can celebrate joining Leicester Tigers as the only side to defend the Heineken Cup, Leinster know the hard work is still to come.
"There is a good togetherness and maturity but, at the same time, there are still massive things for us to do. There are some big games coming up in January," added Cheika.
"There's no point in being happy now and not being happy at the end. We got ourselves into a hole losing that first game at home and we still have a lot to do to get out of it.
"We used our get-out-of-jail card. We used it down in France last year (when Leinster lost to Castres) and we used it too early.
"We understand that there are still big challenges ahead of us. No one is getting carried away."

Brand video storytelling has been exploding due to the evolution of technology, price points have come right down and social media platforms are integrating video into their platforms. For brands, video presents an outstanding opportunity to tell a compelling brand story in a visually appealing video package. Telling a fantastic story through video is about the currency of emotional connection and if you are able to get your viewers to feel something, it is more likely that they will share, like, comment and even respond to your call to action.
If brands wants to get the very best out of social media, it is imperative that they embrace the art of storytelling. Get storytelling right and you will get more people sign up to your story, to your brand.
Social storytelling can be described as taking information that is not exciting and making it feel important, relevant and exciting. Brands that tell stories and excite audiences see an enormous return on investment, as customers start to feel involved and are more likely to buy. Stories have a narrative structure that our brains follow and this is something that we experience everyday. Take any powerful brand that is using storytelling and you will see that the ideas and concepts it conveys in its storytelling marketing make the audience feel something, feel an emotion.
Tapping into storytelling through video is a powerful way to connect with your target audience through emotional connection. Video elicits an emotional response from the viewer and even a brief interaction with your brands' video can trigger an emotional response. There are many benefits for using video, with the opportunity to tell a story being influential. Video is a passive experience, so your viewer only needs to watch, with no requirement for active engagement.
There is a plethora of ways to use video for your business, allowing you to tell a story and send a message. Some examples are interviews, case studies, product or service reviews, viral videos, explainer videos, online tutorials, social videos and culture marketing videos, to name a few. Depending on your brand goals, you may experiment with an array of different types of video to promote your business.
Why your brand should use video?
· Viewers who completed a product video were 25% more likely to convert than those who did not.
Using social media to make your video go even further.
Tapping into storytelling through video is a powerful tool and the great news is that you don't need to be a big brand to benefit from a video campaign. Take some time to connect with real stories that can connect your business to your target audience in an authentic way, which will result in boosting your brand awareness and brand loyalty.

Q: How to properly define an Haskell function isPrime? I'm trying to create a basic function to test primality of an integer in Haskell.  I have code which will work in an ad hoc sense, but continue to get an error message when I try to pass it to a function. Note that I'm writing the definitions directly in GHCi, using :{ and :}.
The idea is to create a list of N modulo {all integers up to a rounded sqrt (N)}, and then test the resulting list for a zero other than the initial index.  The following four functions all work:
rndRoot :: (Floating a, Integral c, RealFrac a) => a -> c
rndRoot = round . sqrt

oneToRndRoot :: (Floating a, Integral t, RealFrac a) => a -> [t]
oneToRndRoot x = [1..rndRoot(x)]

modulo x y
  | n < 0 = x
  | otherwise = modulo n y
  where n = x - y

mapMod x = map (modulo x)

This also works:
mapMod 49 (oneToRndRoot 49)

However, while the repl accepts this definition without complaint...
mapModToRndRoot x = mapMod x $ oneToRndRoot x

...  it spits out the following error message when I try to use it:
Prelude> mapModToRndRoot 39

<interactive>:475:1:
    No instance for (Floating a0) arising from a use of 'it'
    The type variable 'a0' is ambiguous
    Note: there are several potential instances:
      instance Floating Double -- Defined in 'GHC.Float'
      instance Floating Float -- Defined in 'GHC.Float'
    In the first argument of 'print', namely 'it'
    In a stmt of an interactive GHCi command: print it

The ad hoc solution which seems to work fine is just to use two arguments rather than repeat the same one
mapModToRndRoot2 x y = map (modulo x) (oneToRndRoot y)

Prelude> mapModToRndRoot2 33 33
[0,1,0,1,3,3]

A: Inspecting the type of mapModToRndRoot give the following:
mapModToRndRoot :: (Floating a, Integral a, RealFrac a) => a -> [a]

So, to call mapModToRndRoot 39, we'd need to assign a numeric type to the literal 39 that is an instance of RealFrac, Integral, and Floating. However, none of the Prelude numeric types satisfy all three of those constraints, so we get a compile error.
On the other hand, mapMod 49 (oneToRndRoot 49) works just fine. Notice the type of the below lambda:
\x y -> mapMod x (oneToRndRoot y)
  :: (RealFrac a, Integral b, Floating a) => b -> a -> [b]

By using two literals, GHC is able to assign different types to each of them in order to satisfy the type class constrains.
Edit: Here is a solution suggested by @duplode:
rndRoot :: (Integral a) => a -> a
rndRoot = round . sqrt . fromIntegral

My original suggestion fromIntegral . round . sqrt is susceptible to all the usual wonkiness that comes with using floating point arithmetic.
Edit: As @WarrickMacmillan points out, the signature of oneToRndRoot must also be changed. Below is the entire working program fully annotated.
rndRoot :: Integral a => a -> a
rndRoot = round . sqrt . fromIntegral

oneToRndRoot :: Integral a => a -> [a]
oneToRndRoot x = [1..rndRoot(x)]

modulo :: (Ord p, Num p) => p -> p -> p
modulo x y
  | n < 0 = x
  | otherwise = modulo n y
  where n = x - y

mapMod :: (Num b, Ord b) => b -> [b] -> [b]
mapMod x = map (modulo x)

mapModToRndRoot :: Integral a => a -> [a]
mapModToRndRoot n = mapMod n (oneToRndRoot n)

Has anyone else found the shipwreck? It talks about a guy finding a crappy ship and he gets stranded so he calls his alien friend to pick him up. Anyone know if this is how you find more ships? repairing them and all.
During the Alpha I believe that we will only have access to one ship but perhaps in the final this will be how you find more ships. Hopefully I've answered your question.
Regarding unlocking new ships we have several options in mind, but most likely not finding/repairing ones that you can discover in space. The shipwrecks have the main purpose of making the world a bit more lively and entertaining through the logbook entries.
Will there be a system implemented that keeps track of all the logbook entries that we have found?
Regarding unlocking new ships we have several options in mind, but most likely not finding/repairing ones that you can discover in space.
Could these perhaps be in the sealed containers? Sometimes an outlaw ship for parts or a Terran ship you can keep for your own?

VIDEO: Rafael Nadal's hilarious chat with Stefanos Tsitsipas leaves Roger Federer in splits
by Ajit Singh Khanna | Posted on Sunday, September 22nd, 2019 | 0
A lot many things can go wrong when you play doubles for the first time together.
Rafael Nadal and Stefanos Tsitsipas realized just that when they paired up to represent Team Europe against Team World at the ongoing Laver Cup in Geneva.
During one of the time-offs in the third-set tiebreaker, Nadal hilariously suggested Tsitsipas' signals were beyond him.
"I didn't understand [what you were signaling]," Nadal told Tsitsipas with a big grin on his face.
"I did like this," the Greek youngster responded while showing his fist.
"Like this? You said the same place. Any finger? You cross," Nadal said, much to the amusement of coach Bjorn Borg and the rest of their teammates including Roger Federer.
The duo, however, were handed a 4-6 6-3 6-10 defeat at the hands of Team World's Nick Kyrgios and Jack Sock.
Meanwhile, Team Europe leads Team World 7-5 ahead of the tournament's final day, scheduled to be held on Sunday.

Wage changes for Rockpool staff, but penalties bypassed
By Ben Schneiders
September 9, 2018 — 12.05am
Rockpool Dining Group has slashed the amount of unpaid overtime its chefs are working, as celebrity chef Neil Perry claims the fine dining empire he fronts is now one of the "very few, if any" restaurants that comply with workplace laws.
Full-time chefs — many of whom are migrants — have said in recent weeks that their hours have been cut from about 60 hours a week to a more manageable 40 to 44 hours a week.
It comes after a Fairfax Media investigation in June revealed overwhelming evidence that permanent chefs were required to do excessive unpaid overtime — a clear breach of the law.
Neil Perry's restaurant business is now subject to a Fair Work Ombudsman investigation.

Staff were being paid for 38 hours a week while working 20 to 30 hours of unpaid overtime.
That had pushed their wage well below the minimum rates of the award - the wages safety net - with some weeks their pay equating to as little as $15 an hour.
Fairfax Media can also now reveal that many casual kitchen hands and chefs at Rockpool Dining Group are not being paid any Saturday penalty rates, pushing their pay well below the minimum industry wage.

However, the group is able to avoid paying penalties to some of its casual workers thanks to a near decade-old ''zombie'' workplace agreement that undercuts current pay and conditions.
The non-union agreement was struck in the aftermath of the Howard government's controversial WorkChoices period.
Over a year, a casual worker doing regular Saturday shifts could be underpaid as much as $2500 when compared to the minimum pay rates of the award, the wages safety net.
Rampant 'exploitation' at Rockpool restaurant empire
Neil Perry said, via text message, that the business had made changes to how it operated.
''We have made a few changes to better reflect the award, it's always hard in restaurants,'' he said. ''But I believe we would be one of very few, if any, that are complying with it currently.''
High-end restaurants have a bad reputation for excessive working hours and not complying with workplace laws.
Last year, Fairfax Media reported that celebrity chef George Calombaris had underpaid 160 staff more than $2.6 million.
Recently, the ABC reported allegations about unpaid overtime and underpayment at another high-end restaurant business, Shannon Bennett's Vue de Monde. Vue denied the claims.
Chefs at Rockpool Dining Group restaurants say they are now working fewer hours, but working even harder while at work as the reduction in hours has not been met with an increase in staff. Senior management was under heavy pressure, sources said.
There have also been surprise pay rises given to many staff.
A Rockpool Dining Group spokeswoman would not comment directly on whether its cuts to hours were an admission of wrongdoing.
But she added the group continually reviewedemployee hours while ''taking into consideration a range of factors, including seasonal fluctuations in bookings and key events''.
Rockpool Dining Group was created in late 2016 when Neil Perry sold his restaurants for a reported $65 million to a company owned by Quadrant Private Equity.
The group owns 16 brands including "premium" eateries Sake and Rosetta, "casual and fun" restaurants including Munich Brauhaus and The Bavarian, as well as the flagship, Rockpool.
Perry remains a shareholder in the combined entity.
In recent weeks, current and former workers have provided the Fair Work Ombudsman with rosters and pay slips and other information.
The ombudsman has also made site visits to several Rockpool Dining Group restaurants, sources said.
The ombudsman would not comment but called on workers to come forward with any information that may be relevant to its investigation.
''The Fair Work Ombudsman is conducting an investigation in relation to Rockpool,'' a spokeswoman said. ''As this matter is ongoing, it is not appropriate to comment further at this time.''
In mid July accounting firm PwC was brought in by Rockpool to undertake an audit of payroll, rostering and record-keeping to be completed by the end of August.
That deadline was missed and the group now says it expects the work to be completed this month.
A Rockpool Dining Group spokeswoman said it was undertaking a thorough review of salaries and engaging with ''the Fair Work Ombudsman throughout''.
''Should the reconciliation identify any amounts that are owing to employees, we've committed to taking all necessary steps to pay those amounts in full as soon as possible.''
Future Fund a major beneficiary of Rockpool wages exploitation
The spokeswoman also defended the non-payment of penalty rates on Saturday. ''Casual employees are paid hourly rates in accordance with applicable agreement or award terms.
''We have an enterprise agreement that applies to a number of casual employees. The rates in the agreement have been updated over time in accordance with the Fair Work Act.''
Under the Fair Work Act, workplace agreements must meet a test that ensures all staff are "better off overall" than they would be under the award.
But the agreement used by Rockpool Dining Group was struck during the transition from the Howard government's controversial WorkChoices regime which allowed considerably inferior pay and conditions.
Even though the non-union agreement has long expired, it remains legally valid until replaced. These are often referred to as "zombie agreements".
Leaked pay records and other internal documents show some casual workers have been hired by a different company to the one that employs its permanent staff.
The records show them being paid the same hourly rate on Saturday as they are during the week. If they were paid award rates they would be paid time-and-a-half.
Rockpool Dining Group is expected to turn over $300 million in 2017/18 and make operating profits of $40 million.
Many chefs have likened their working conditions to slavery, with migrant chefs saying their visa status made them vulnerable to significant underpayment and excessive work.
It is a breach of workplace law for an employer to require excessive unpaid overtime that pushes wages below minimum rates.
The hospitality industry has a culture of long and unsociable hours and the restaurant award allows management to "buy out" penalties and overtime for a 25 per cent higher hourly rate.
However, under the buyout, permanent workers must still be paid more than the award overall.
Chefs at Rockpool Dining Group would only need to work between one to five hours a week of unpaid overtime to be underpaid, Fairfax Media's analysis found.

as ClearContext is using the contacts-priority to calculate the message importance, all the contacts you have need to be in your Outlook Contacts.
In a company, this is not very convenient, as most of the contacts are already in the Outlook GAL (Global Address List). Until now, I added those company contacts to my Outlook contacts... Am I missing something or is this a feature which can be added in the future?
1. On setup, we analyze email history and prioritize your contacts based on email volume. Any important contacts that are found in email history, but not in your personal Contacts list are extracted and placed in the ClearContext Contacts folder. This inlcudes users who exist in your Global Address book, but not in your local contacts. For example, if you communicate a great deal with your Supervisor, and his contact information is only contained within the Global Address book, after CC setup, his contact information will appear in the ClearContext Contacts folder with a High or Very High Priority assigned to the record.
2. In regular use, as email is received, we look at the Global Address Book to determine if the message comes from a known sender. So, when a new email is received, first we look in the Personal Contacts folders to see if the sender exists. If not, we then look to the Global Address List. This ensures that all senders within your global address book gain priority over messages coming from a completely unknown sender.
If there is a user in the Global Address Book that you would like to adjust priority for, you are correct in assuming that the way to handle this is to make a copy of that Contact in your personal address book and adjust the priority there.
We are investigating alternative ways to handle GAL contacts for future releases, but at this time I am unable to say what that would look like or give a timeframe for implementation.
