I think this news is relevant because the few times you see people go to prison for financial crimes happen when the rich themselves are hurt.

I feel bad for my previous employer
But not really… I used to work at a pretty well known private members club as the head bartender. Most of the clientele were in the influencer business, or celebrities. Basically I was hired before the location opened, and there was only one person above me in my department, the bar manager. Upon opening we immediately found ourselves completely unable to keep up with all the bullshit going on around us. Every single day we were forced to work over hours, with not enough staff, and had to bend the rules constantly. Even if one of the members was abusively rude to us, we had to just take it and move on. The club consisted of 6 bars over 3 floors. Normally we'd have a minimum of 2 bartenders per bar but after a month the upper management forced us to downsize and many of the bartenders were made to…
At my current (soon to be former) employer, the greenhouse gets 30+ degrees in winter. I get faint easily, and the kids complain about the heat. After I opened a window once, they told me that it was a policy breach … and then removed the damn opener handles. Bro you could have just asked me I also still haven't been given the WiFi password after a year and a half of working there. Think “going to the front desk whenever the internet resets” kinda deal

Hello, everyone Long time lurker, first time poster here… I'm a store manager at a corporate convenience store in northern Maine, USA. I've been the store manager since just before the pandemic started (February 2020) and some of my employees have been here for years (7-26 years).

We have a step pay system that was implemented shortly after I started where basically from a new hire you get a raise at 90 days, 1 year, and then every 800 hours you work. For new hires starting at minimum wage with the step…

Hello members of r/antiwork, here is my post about this rule because it just happened to me, and I'm wondering if there are any tips out there. At a lot of jobs, you have to call in sick before a certain time. For mine, its 10 AM. Now, I'm (16F) still in high school, so this is an after school job. Before 10, i don't have time. I have to get ready, bike to school, and attend classes. My first break isn't until 10.15. This morning, i felt fine. Nothing weird going on at all. During my first break though, I started getting a headache. Bam, it's 10.15. Too late to call in. I get permission to go home, so I call my job in order to mark myself absent. I did this immediately after, so maybe around 10.30. Got a whole rant about it, which I can understand. It's…
