I think my old boss intentionally mailed me the wrong taxes slips.

I used to work in a restaurant that had five locations and now they're down to two ever since there was a change of management. The owners are a husband and wife duo – and well, one day he steps down as the manager and she replaces him. That's when shit hits the fan. She allowed availabilities changes one month notice (so if you want Mondays off, it's gonna be in a month), only gave 15 mins of overtime pay, trained people to do tasks out of their mandates but the increase of pay depends on how long you worked there, and not the skills/tasks you do. Some of the people she fired are for justified reasons, but there were more people quitting and their relationship would turn sour. I didn't want that, I wanted us to part on good terms.

She allowed availabilities changes one month notice (so if you want Mondays off, it's gonna be in a month), only gave 15 mins of overtime pay, trained people to do tasks out of their mandates but the increase of pay depends on how long you worked there, and not the skills/tasks you do. Some of the people she fired are for justified reasons, but there were more people quitting and their relationship would turn sour. I didn't want that, I wanted us to part on good terms. I finished training new staff when I gave my two week notice. She tried to get me to work one shift per week but I was adamant – my new job had better benefits and was in a different field (I work from home now for the government). I was told to bring back the uniforms and we wished each other well, so I thought that was the end of it.

Fast forward to this week – I was finishing my taxes and was missing this one (we used an app to clock in/out and they had my taxes slips, but because I quit and had not kept it active, I couldn't access it). So either I wait till she filled her own to have the info online or till they are mailed to me. Mailed version was sketchy from the start – the income was around 1000$ and tips was below 200$. I worked there for 7 months and yes it was minimum wage, but that was too low. So I went online and noticed how they were not matching (income was around 9000$ and tips was 800$ this time). I called my government to confirm and the agent was confused as to why this happened because she submitted the slips online first. I tried defending her in my head her actions but really, had she claimed this was a mistake….. The discrepancy is too big for it to be one.

TL;DR my old boss was a shitty one and she filed her taxes online accurately, but not the slips she sent me – thus possibly getting me in trouble.
