Antiwork

This subreddit is awesome. But some of the things I see folks commenting here don't really make much sense to me based on the workplace experience I have. I'm specifically talking about the denied PTO/Vacation/Day(s) off threads. And more specifically the replies stating the employee should just let the employer know they are unavailable or will still not be attending work on said days. Are you all collectively not working jobs that have a penal system for absences? Where I work, we have a points system. Call off, one point. Late, half point. No call absence, 3 points. You hit 8 and you're gone. I'm curious because I have never had the option of just not getting paid for the day and that's the end of it.

I had two jobs. I worked full time at a retail store as a shift lead (Pet Supplies Plus) I hated it, I found a second job (flight school) and went to part time for the retail one. We got a new manager at the pet store maybe a few months into this of me working reduced hours as shift lead. I work with her once and she takes me to the back to have a talk to get to know me. She knows I was a previous store manager at a similar retail store that closed down due to covid. She asks me questions about issues I thought were a problem and I answer honestly. She also tells me it seems I don’t want to work because I’ve taken all of my PTO at once (80hrs) but it’s only because the previous manager never put it in, and you…

Hi all, I work in CA, USA, for a large corporation. That’s all the details I’m able to divulge. Where can I anonymously report for possible labor law violations? I was at another location helping out (not by choice but I was compensated OT) and the staffer said she is told not to clock out for 30 minute lunches and just keeps working her whole shift most of the time. Even if there’s no “paper trail” of this conversation, I’m guessing it will show on the time card statement because CA accounts for meal period violations.

So I work at a Local restaurant chain in town that's considered relatively mid scale. I worked at one of their locations from January to late May. I ended up moving and found another job for a about a month before deciding to reapply to the company I had worked at in the beginning of the year, just a different location. I got an interview and got hired on right away. The General manager had told me since I had only been away from the company for a month they still had all my stuff on file in their system. Okay, seemed cool, I really didn't think anything of it. Fastfarwad to now, I'm trying to do my taxes and I realized the numbers just didn't add up and seemed really low. So I did some more digging and figured out how to look at my pay stubs and the…
