Co-worker just got chewed out and lost a shift after refusing to take the order of her rapist who showed up at the restaurant we work at

I’m fucking livid. My co-worker was raped while she was under age and at her shift yesterday apparently her rapist showed up and just the site of him traumatized her. She was sobbing in the back and unable to finish her shift. Not only did our piece of shit manager cut her paycheck down the the 15 minute increments of when her rapist showed up but apparently he phoned her yelling about “commitments to your team” so loudly from inside his office everyone in the kitchen could hear. And on top of that she’s lost two shifts as “punishment”. I’m so angry and disgusted i have no idea what to say when I see her.

Ibbü hires independent contractors as Experts for various product categories on samsung.com (Computing, Home Appliance, Mobile, and TV). These Experts receive no set hourly pay, just a commission (1.5% of every sale), meaning they are not paid if the customer does not purchase a product on samsung.com.

Every Friday Ibbü will send out warnings to Experts who've underperformed in customer satisfaction or sales. Once an Expert has received 3 warnings in their Ibbü Mission they will be terminated. Experts also don't have any further access than a…

When are we going to start becoming more active? Because I’m only getting more tired and I know others are too. I worked 10 years in retail and food and I’m fucking exhausted. It’s fucking time.

The longer we wait, the more tired we get, and eventually there is just no energy to fucking fight. What is the fucking holdup? We outnumber them a million to one.
