UPDATE: “Happy Holidays, here’s a bonus! …Now give it back.”

Previous post was removed for sharing screenshots on the wrong day, my b. However there was a happy ending and I managed to hold my ground and keep my bonus. I'm still keeping an eye on my paycheck to reassure that they don't remove any of my wages, but otherwise everything has seemingly worked out after getting the owner involved. I did see a couple questions concerning how my wage was “decent” but not “liveable.” The simple response is that I live in California, and “decent but not liveable” is a very common trend here.

As for the water issue, I mentioned that we don't have accessible water. Someone brought water and cups for a holiday party so I held back from contacting OSHA. I did this because I had a similar situation with a prior job and as long as a company has cups/water or otherwise bottled water on property, they won't get marked up for it. So yes, as questionable as it is, I literally have to wait for them to run out of cups. Won't take very long, though.
Wish me luck and sorry if any rules were broken. Made sure to read them over a few times before posting this update!
