Sketchy temp agency trying to make me feel bad after I find better work

I decided to pick up some extra shifts during the fair but after no communication or instruction, I decided it wasn't work the little bit of cash. I informed the person coordinating the job and got a response hours later that left a bad taste in my mouth. I could have been polite but the way they addressed it, without ever having met me, really didn't sit well with me.

Never paid.

Well I view this sub from time to time and finally find myself in a fk work position. I recently lost pretty much everything from a situation with my ex so had to move in with a family member. I just took the first job I can get an off the books construction job. Anyway was working with this guy a few months and it was a nightmare. “He would tell me hey no work tomorrow, then call me at 9am alright come in I need you” Or hey be ready for 8 tomorrow the I would get a text at 7:30 am nevermind today no work. Besides all the random annoying shit like that. There came a point where he said he wasn’t paid for a job and asked if he can pay me next week. I said yes well he didn’t pay me for the next week either.…

Notice Period Pay Dispute

Hi everyone, I’m posting on behalf of my partner who has was given her termination letter on the 26th of September in which she is stated to have a notice period of 4 weeks with her employment ending on the 21st of October. Today, she was sent an email from her boss telling her that there is no need for her to work the remainder of her notice period and will be paid for the time she is owed, but only until the 14th. Is this legal? Any help would be appreciated and I am happy to answer as many questions as needed.

Selling company laptop?

Has anyone ever sold their employer given, company laptop after being fired? I do IT consulting work for fortune 100s (W2 remote). They give me a company laptop. Currently I have two. My last two clients were complete stooges. Toxic workplace, discrimination, etc etc. Fired by both (TLDR). What I’m wondering is, has anyone ever sold their corporate laptop after being fired? Would anyone actually buy it? I’m thinking either hobbyists who need spare parts for custom builds or mom and pop computer repair shops. All the software is owned by the company and operating system would need some tweaking as well. I just think it would be the ultimate middle finger move. And yes I realize it’s both illegal and unethical.

I work at a California Indian Casino. Can they prohibit me from discussing wages?

I know it's illegal to prohibit employees from talking about wages in California, but what about at an Indian Casino? Apparently we are not allowed to talk about wages there. I make $15 an hour. I am the lowest paid employee in my department. I want to call them out on this.
