I work at a place where the owners make money by billing insirance. They bill over $100 an hour while most employees are lucky to make $20 with paltry PTO.

Some of it is hilarious and some of it is horrifying. How did I find out? Well it certainly wasn't disclosed to me prior to being hired. I found out from a coworker, while we were discussing how frankly unethical the working conditions were sometimes. He just drops the bomb: “You know (boss) murdered a guy right?” Of course I didn't fucking know that. He told me the story, told me to google our boss' name and look at the photos and read the articles. Thankfully I…
