Antiwork

So I have been working at this company for quite some time now. The money is good, I’m good at it, I made a few friends, but my boss is a horrible human being.

We’ve had osha stop us before from working in unsafe conditions but he got away w it. I heard if you build a case w osha or the EEOC in your state there’s a payout reward I was wondering if anyone had any education about building cases like that?

Apparently they got investigated and were not happy. I would see them around town and they would be passive aggressive towards me. Today, my mom told me my boss contacted her in the comments of a Facebook post to tattle on me(I'm 20) for reporting her. My mom said it wasn't her fight but she saw the paychecks and they were wrong. Just the audacity to say that stuff in public…like…what? She was paying me under minimum wage and taking the credit card tips, as well as having us clock in and out wrong so she could pay us even less than that. I was working like 60 hours a week and only made $12,000 USD/year. Lesson learned for…
