Missing any of my final two weeks will result in a minimum wage paycheck? Wtf

I found a new job that pays a lot better and hopefully won’t take advantage of me / treat me like shit so I put in my 2 weeks at my current job. I was just told that if I miss any of my final two weeks then all my hours for my final paycheck will become minimum wage. Wtf, is this legal? Edit: nebraska

Quitting my job without notice?

Hey guys hope all is well today! So I got hired on at a new job yesterday got a start date and everything (next week) making $3 more an hour and a overall better schedule.

You get into an accident, your paying for it.

Former boss was a peach. Quit not long after this message because of an other message that was sent to the entire team about me. I asked for more fryer oil and got asked, “What the fuck are you even doing when you are here? Place your fucking orders on time and you'll get what you need.” Orders were due at 3, I was scheduled to come in at 5. 2 weeks after I left, I got a call from a former coworker telling me he was standing outside the restaurant and the windows were covered and the locks were changed. Our “Above average wage” was a joke too.

I’m incredibly exaughsted

Hey, everyone ove never posted here before, but I thought I'd give it a shot. For some context, before I get to my main issues, I have never had a decent amount of money. When I was living with my parents, I skipped meals so my siblings could eat. I got my first job at fourteen so I could help pay bills. I got soft kicked out of my parents' place and went through my savings in less than a year because nobody would hire me, and starved for months on end afterward because I couldn't afford enough groceries to make it to the next paycheck. The funny thing? I work at a place that puts shit into space. space. I help build the stuff that leaves the atmosphere and get paid 17.75 (which is more than minimum, but where I live, I barely afford food). I can't afford to…

Lawyer tells me we can sue my previous job for refusing to give me my paycheck after I quit their toxic workplace, and found even more violations. But wants me to travel to his office in New Jersey to do it, and I have no idea how to afford to get there.

So to make sure people understand the context and get caught up, here are the original two posts regarding this issue: My job REFUSES to pay me my last paycheck because I quit for a less abusive job without prior notice. : antiwork (reddit.com) Urgently trying to find solution for showers before starting my new job, lack of funds due to previous employer refusing to pay me my last paycheck. (Homeless) : antiwork (reddit.com) I'll also do a summary here. Basically, my previous job was trying to cancel-out my wages because I quit without giving a two-week notice due to the toxic and abusive work environment, so they claimed I forfeited my check and they could refuse to pay me. They have continued refused to issue the money for that last pay period (and the bonus on top but that's not as important), and up until recently no legal help…

My eating is becoming a trend?

I eat off camera maybe once a week and it’s become a trend? I guess my manager has learned my eating pattern.

Threatening to hire more employees like that would be a bad thing
