Every thread in this sub is full of people telling the OP to sue. But we never hear the follow up. Can you guys share your lawsuit stories about a time you took an unfair employer to court and won?

I work at a company that is over 100 years and multinational. I had 2 years of experience in my home country, after which I shifted to Canada. My manager told me this. “You're doing a great job. You have the potential to get there. I thought it would take you 2-3 months to get here, but this is good. See, to me, you aren't someone who has 2 years of experience but someone who graduated and somehow worked for 16 months. I know I shouldn't say this, but if you work only 8 hours, you won't get there. When someone offers you $3 for a job where you can learn and $5 for a job where you don't, you should take the $3 job.” The fact that he deemed my experience irrelevant pisses me off. First of all, he said 16 months, bitch, I interned there for 6 months…

I just had a heartbreaking week of cards and gifts from students devastated to be losing me. It feels narcissistic to even say that, but my heavy bag is full of proof even my lacking self-esteem can't argue with. All week I kept telling my students to hold out hope — my replacement could be great or even better — but they know that's highly unlikely and so do I. I know what the job demands and what it pays. Their school abused me, overworked me, and underpayed me. I'm leaving for a slightly less toxic teaching job, but even that's only for a year or two and then I will have to return to computer science, which makes me miserable but actually pays well. A student of mine just stopped by before getting off the train to reiterate how much I'll be missed. I hate this so much. I…

if you absolutly have to get a job then find another co worker to bargain with them to your boss for a raise, cuz of fdr era laws like National Labor Relations Act you cannot get any retaliation for it this obviously only works in the us cuz of this law but many other countries likely got something like this cuz they have something called rights at your job

My company is almost 100% remote work from home and has been for almost 3 years now. There's only a couple of positions that have to be in the office. I'm not in any of those positions, however we have a mass meeting we're being required to attend in the office. They're telling us travel time will not be paid, but the meeting will. It's in the middle of the work day, so we have to clock out to get there, not clock back in until we get home, and they'll add the meeting time for us. We're expected to make up the time that day or use our vacation time. This honestly isn't a massive deal for me since I like 7 minutes from the office, but we've got some employees who live an hour away. I feel like the travel time should be paid, since it's absolutely mandatory…
