Wrongful termination?

Just asked to start talks so I can schedule a therapy appointment, gm asked very intrusive questions and called me a baby. I then asked about workplace to workplace pay as I noticed my timeclock was missing a few hrs between sites and a good bit when I first showed up at the office(I'm an HVAC tech under a general contractor) and the GM literally said if you're asking questions already it's not going to workout and then started called the cops when I went to ask HR about it Edit 1: I'm in the grand ole state of SC

Job is fully staffed, runs an Indeed anyways.

Been working for a place for a few weeks with an impossible to achieve sales quota, a 30 day $500 retention bonus AND despite being fully staffed they constantly run ads on Indeed. Wanna bet no one actually lasts 30 days? 🤣🤣

Can i go after an employer that never paid me my final paycheck??

So…. Admittedly i walked out of this place after the owner threatened me and wasnt paying people because he was blowing all his money on drugs. He owes me around 1400$ technically and this is from 2ish years ago. Honestly at the time i didnt realize thats illegal. Could i still potentially get that money???

Boss Told Me to Stop Working

I need some advice as something feels really fishy about this situation. I recently discovered that a new hire was making significantly more than I was. I went to discuss this with my boss and let him know that if I wasn't afforded a raise that I would be putting in my resignation. When he mentioned the company policy about not discussing wages, I made sure to make note that it was against the law to prohibit employees from discussing wages. When I left I asked that my year end bonus, my PTO, and my final paycheck would be paid out at the end of the month. This morning I received a call from my boss. He let me know that my bonus, my PTO in my final paycheck would indeed be delivered at the end of the month and that I also would not need to work anymore. For…

Boss rescinding flexible hours after I came to work “late” because I had completed my duties the day before.

Im a physical therapist and I do a lot of prep work and see patients all day long. We have a system where if they schedule more than 5 evaluations, they block some documentation time. Well, it just so happened that my documentation time was first thing in the morning. I had finished all of my prep the day before so I figure I could come in later in the day. Well, one of my coworkers snitched and apparently they're enforcing my hours versus being flexible (which they touted as an advantage before I was hired). I accepted a job at Kaiser because of the benefits even though it meant I had a 5$/hour paycut. I'm salty but I don't know how to respond without shooting myself in the foot. I need your help anti-work. How do I respond ?

Thanks to this subreddit I am moving on

Over the Christmas break I had a decent amount of time off to reflect and evaluate my situation, based off of reading many of the sh*t show horror stories and experiences people have had to deal with in their working lives on here. I identified with so many different situations and decided to browse. I went to the first reputable company in my industry local to where i live in the UK and coincidently found a job posting for my current role advertised (coincidence or fate?). Anyway.. today I got the official offer, with a £38k increase from my original £32k salary, plus the opportunity to earn a further £20k per annum in overtime as well as yearly pay rises and a profit related bonus. From £32k to potentially £90k! Thank you posters for r/antiwork for making me realise that if you are unhappy – do something about it!
