My boss doesn’t give two sh*ta about my mental or physical health, even knowing I have mental and physical disabilities. This last pay period, I worked 130 hours and am only getting $1,500 for it. I had an appointment with a lawyer for personal reasons that I had to cancel because I have to close, after he said he’d close for me last week. I’ve had several mental breakdowns already tonight. He broke several labor laws last month (August) and broke Illinois ODRISA as well. I didn’t have a day off for almost 20 days. What do I do and who do I report this to? I feel like this company doesn’t care about it’s employees, especially the managers who do nothing but try and only get bit in…
