Starbucks said the staff, who were leading efforts to organize a union in Tennessee, had violated the company rules. Please make sure you do not buy their products…Go to any other brand that treats the workforce better. Make sure your dimes and pennies do not contribute to this company's revenues. I think this is the least we can do to support the Right of Employees to have a Union.

Oops. It’s r/legaladvice. Sorry; my intentions were good.
I have seen many, many posts about where “Employers” claim or say that, discussing your wages at work with your co-workers is not allowed or is against their policy. This is in-fact false and the employers are telling you a lie. According to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) it is your 100% right to discuss your wages at work, during break, etc. This is your right as an Employee whether you are represented by a union or not. Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA or the Act), employees have the right to communicate with other employees at their workplace about their wages. Wages are a vital term and condition of employment, and discussions of wages are often preliminary to organizing or other actions for mutual aid or protection.

My worst reason for getting fired, ever

But the worst job I’ve ever had, and the most insane reason for being fired is one of those stories that even 20 years later it pisses me off. I was about 16 years old and got hired as a front end cashier at a small local pharmacy. My training consisted of “stand here and ring people up, and keep stuff stocked.” I taught myself everything, and would often get yelled at for not keeping all of the items stocked, simply because I had no idea where the rest of the stock was kept. I’d been there about a week, when we had a family emergency. We got a call that my sister was unresponsive at her boyfriend’s house. We called EMS on the way…

Just had to rant to myself
I’ve been at my company almost a decade. I make “ok” money, but found out kids starting out are making a dollar or more than me an hour. I woke up in the most Office Space mindset I’ve ever had to my alarm, turned it off and went back to bed. Strolled in two hours late and claimed I had a “medical emergency”. Even had PTO cover it. We’re already short staffed and plenty of people are hiring in my field so I’m just riding this high til they decide they want to compensate me for my experience or let me go. I highly recommend it. EDIT: I’m also letting every new employee i talk to know about the lack of pay raises in their future. Just in case.
