I helped the DA successfully prosecute my old employer in a class action lawsuit

So this place I used to work for was just the worst. They were an app and idea development company that took advantage of anyone with money and a dream. Several clients invested their life savings or retirement funds with them, as they had been convinced that their honestly terrible ideas were guaranteed successes, and that the company had inside connections with several big box retailers and a team of pro developers. They absolutely did not. They also claimed they were making great progress on developing their apps when they hadn't even been started on yet. We're talking about apps that clients had payed them 20k or more to make in some cases. When I told my boss I had several issues with the way they did things I was told that “I shouldn't let my morals get in the way of good business”, and that “I wasn't seeing the…

Why on God’s green earth did I just work a 10 hour shift of washing dishes by myself at the busiest restaurant Ive worked at?

Seriously why the fuck is that even legal? And by myself? Seriously? I have no idea how to fight this kinda shit so I just “pulled myself up by my bootstraps and sucked it up buttercup”, but for real isnt anything over 8 hours overtime? And don't they need to ask you if you'd like to work overtime instead of just scheduling you for it?

Don’t let your boss use you, ask what you’re entitled to !

In the beginning of last year i started working at a groceries’ delivery compagny and it was my first time working full time, i only had student jobs on the weekend before. Overall everything was going fine, there were sometimes some issues with the managers but i’ve always been able to tell them about it and find a solution. But then, one day, the company decided to open another place, to cover another part of the city, and it happened to be near where i live, so when they asked if i wanted to work there, i said yes. I met my new boss a few weeks before the opening, and he asked me if i had an opinion on how he should run the thing, compared to the place i was at the time. I told him what i wanted, thinking to myself that maybe i had found a…

This website lets you spend Elon Musk’s Fortune to see how ridiculous it is. Get thousands of yachts, The Mona Lisa, islands and even tanks. And have a receipt at the end. How much is enough?

Am I considered lazy if I don’t like working?

Hey, so I wouldn’t say I’m the most experienced when it comes to my resume, but I feel like I’m seeing a growing trend whenever I’m employed. Currently I’m working a part time summer job at a golf course until college starts, and whenever I get scheduled to work it goes along something like this: I try to enjoy my day, but it always ends up with me constantly watching the clock and having this weird feeling in my stomach the closer I get to having to go to work. The feeling I can only describe would be butterflies in my stomach, but not in the excited/anticipation sort of way. I’ll eventually go to work, mill around and do what I have to do for as long as I’m scheduled for, and then leave. It’s not like I wanna blow my brains out whenever I’m working (in fact, this is…
