I work in a high stress mental health job working closely with the most severe cases. After working the job for nearly two years I decide to make a change and put in a 4 weeks notice. Two days before I turned in my notice it was announced that employees that worked from January 1st – present would receive a bonus for their hard work. I was excited that before I left I would be getting a nice bonus. When it came time to paying me the bonus last week everyone else got one except for me. I confronted my boss about it, and they said that I would have to talk to HR & that one other employee was in a similar situation and nothing ended up happening. Any suggestions? Do I consider hiring a lawyer?

TLDR: Every billion dollars of personal income creates about 42,000 individuals with an income of 0. An 29% flat tax would have created a zero deficit budget in 2021, less in 2022. Adhering to the tax tables would have generated income instead of deficit. I had asked AI to show the math on this, generated text is not allowed. So here is the math and source links, using the year 2021 instead. 1,000,000,000 divided by average household income ($70,784) so approximately 14 thousand households with zero income. multiply by an average family size of 3.3 (lets just call it 3)… 42,000 people making jack shit. (2021) 23.32T income, 6.8T expenditures including mandatory and discretionary. 29% flat tax would have created zero deficit with everything paid for. in 2022 GDP increased 2T and spending stayed the same, so a smaller flat tax would have covered it. Adhering to the tax brackets…

What am I supposed to do?!
I have a head cold, I know it's a head cold, I get them at least once a year when allergies are bad, or like right now, when we have fire smoke all in our air. Who goes to a doctor for that anymore? Especially when all they will do is tell you to just take allergy meds, ibuprofen and or Aleve for the headache, and if necessary, chest congestion meds if it gets worse. Also, and my manager knows this, I take public transportation(getting a car soon), so why am I going to go make at least 2 bus drivers possibly sick, plus a whole bus of people? If I'm not willing to expose my co-workers, or the office people whose desks I lean over and clean everyday, why tf would I do it to people on a bus? I'm at a loss and don't know what I should…
I’ve been seeing a lot of post relating to shitty working conditions and culture. I don’t think we are against working, but rather want to work with fair conditions and compensation.

I'm almost certain that's not legal, but I'm sure someone knows better than me. Same manager told me when I was first hired “We start everyone at 8.25/hr but after your tips it's basically $13-14/hr :D” after I told him I was making more at my last job lol
