I remember seeing some form of punishment listed on my employment papers I signed when I started my restaurant job saying what will happen if we discuss pay with other employees. Is that not retaliation? I thought we could talk about pay and it’s not meant to be punished?

So even though everywhere seems to be hiring and short staffed I've put in multiple multiple applications and only had a handful of interviews and some were not great. However I had a really good one last week and accepted the job and was very excited. The manager that interviewed me said they provided the uniform. I got a text from the GM this morning saying I need to have navy blue slacks and a brown or black belt neither of which I have and don't have money to get at the moment because of not working for so long (had radiation treatments) and I'm supposed to start tomorrow so now I'm freaking out 🥺

Just started as a remote CSR for Walmart, most remote roles I’ve had were more relaxed, which is why I took less money for this job.

I was making 20-22 an hour and took the step back for remote, but seems like I’ll be working harder then most jobs

After two days they let me know that they decided for a different candidate, but they can offer me different position, but technically I would do. The same things. Just a different name for that position. This position has lower salary of 35K, but I agreed, because of the bonuses. (12% + to the salary + 1K, after taxed). Today I saw the contract and it stated that I would have 35K salary, but it already includes the 12% and the 1K bonus. As I was angry, I was looking for different job and I saw re-newed job offer for the position I was originally applying to…. So they just lied to me about choosing someone else just so I would take the lower paying job, doing…
