I didn’t think Airbnb could get worse as a company, but I was wrong. This exploitation of desperate people is disgusting.

Work is requiring us to sign arbitration agreements

I feel skeptical about it. Private healthcare company. Non-union. CEO/owner is at work daily. Mostly younger workforce and definitely considered a stepping-stone place. Now, they want arbitration agreements signed as a condition of employment. Im not aware of any current or imminent issues or things coming up, but the company is growing and expanding. Anyone familiar with these? Of course, their company presentation on how this is a good thing emphasized “oh with arbitration, we keep things local, and discreet, and resolved on a small scale,”…. uh huh huh.. also no reported publically, no ability to sue- at all-, and no class action option. I feel skeptical. Not sure what to do.

My friend need 3-7 days to feel better after ER visit, but boss is saying she MUST have a doctors note to not come in tomorrow.

Long story short, my friend has a kidney infection and she can barely do anything. Her work is saying she needs a doctors note after not being at work for a few days. She can’t get in with a primary care physician yet. Can they legally do that? Tennessee.

I’m a bartender and my boss took $500 from my tips.

I worked a Christmas party tonight with one other bartender today. Usually we tip out $5 a day to the kitchen, we don’t hire chefs. The owners just cook. Anyways for the Christmas party my co worker mentioned we’d be tipping out more but the amount was insane to me. It was very busy and we worked incredibly hard and I only got $400, we split tips so she also made $400. Now I’m not greedy but I worked the exact same company party last year with her and we made more than that yet our sales this year were basically doubled. So I asked, turns out the owner took $500 from our tips as tipout. His reason being we didn’t tip him out last year but we literally asked him if he wanted tip out and he said no. Keep in mind it’s a “family owned” bar so all…

Request: Let’s Crowdsource a Resource List by State

We should make a sticky post or something in the sidebar that lists, for each state/country, what shenanigans bosses commonly pull are and are not legal, websites to report violations, etc. Seems like every post has 20 comments like “I think that's illegal but it depends on your state, not sure, etc.”
