How many OP’s on this sub are bad employees who don’t work hard and post when they get in trouble at work but disguise it as if they are in the right?

Curious. EDIT: I realize that there are alot of problems with employees rights and alot of the posts on this sub are valid. But I'm wondering if some employees are in the wrong but they post here to blow off steam after they get in trouble.

My job sent me a letter saying I got a $0.50 raise but I haven’t gotten actually been paid this amount

Hey there, so my job sent me a letter in the mail back in January stating that I will be receiving a $0.50 raise starting January of this year. I recently checked my pay stubs while doing taxes and noticed that I've been being paid the same rate as before, this entire time. I want to bring this up to payroll, but I don't have any “proof” of the letter as I had thrown it out already, believing that it was taken care of. Unfortunately, it was the only document whatsoever that stated this raise, and I foolishly didn't expect my job to just…. not give me the raise they said they would. How do I approach this situation?

I am absolutely miserable at my job, and want to quit: But I’d have to pay to do that.

I moved to another state about 4 months ago, and had a job offer in the same industry I’ve been in (and have been happy in) for the last 3 years. The boss at my job now is by far one of the most toxic, greedy and tyrannical people I’ve ever worked for. I should’ve seen the red flags upon taking the job, but being in a new state I just wanted to start working. My workplace is a revolving door of employees, and people are constantly quitting. She makes everyone she hires sign a document saying that they’ll pay her $350 if we leave on our own regard. I can’t stay here, I’m miserable every day. She’s ruined my passion for the industry I’ve been in for 3 years, and she’s ruining my happiness of living in another state. I rarely get off days, she doesn’t provide breaks or…

“Tipped” positions

So I'm going to lead this off saying I don't have this problem, but I heard commercial on the radio and it made me think. “Non-tipped positions start at 18$ an hour”, how much do you want to bet almost every position in the casino they were advertising for is “tipped” in some way. I refuse to take tipped positions anymore. Sure there's great money to be made some nights but others you walk out with bare minimum pay and a feeling you just wasted a day slaving for nothing.
