I work at a pizza hut doing delivery work, with the rising cost of gas and food and rent, I am becoming increasingly unable to really even afford to be alive anymore. I had a mental breakdown on Friday and my GM took me off the schedule and told me I can't come back without a note saying I'm mentally fit to work. That didn't quite help my mood in the last 24 hours. So I sent my boss some knee jerk reactions, he is notorious for committing wage theft, committing many health violations at our store, he hardly manages, I've been there for 7 months and haven't even seen a paystub. My boss is a lazy piece of shit who just puts himself on the schedule, clocks in and goes home a couple hours later, but he makes sure to pay himself for 10 hours a day into overtime.
So in my knee-jerk reaction, I told him I was going to go to the department of labor and the local franchise owners to let them know about his wage theft along with his illegal demand for my ability to return to work, or just let me return to work, his choice (the his choice comment comes into play because he likes to threaten people and say (your choice). They're going to be receiving a call after the holiday weekend is over. I don't even know what I can say to them. I'm just so fucking pissed off that scummy fucks are constantly allowed to get away with illegal behavior for probably about a decade (he's worked there's for 15 to 20 years or something). I caught covid a month ago and all he did the entire time was threaten my job. Not one single ounce of concern like “hey how are you feeling?” it was just “get a doctor's note or you don't have a job, your choice”.
