Still Me Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 The day I sent in my resignation to my old employer, I also sent several emails internally to human resources, asset protection, and employee relations. I had composed this massive email of things that I was forced to do or illegal things the management there had been doing. As well as retaliation and failure to help me while continuing to have panic attacks at work. Also, the store manager was violating both federal and state labor laws. Basically, what he was doing to my schedule before he would send it off, he would adjust my punches so that it didn't reflect overtime. I would work 45 to 50 hours a week but only get paid for 40. I knew about it, it was like a tongue and cheek kind of thing he would do, and I just let him do it because I didn't wanna cause a problem and I also didn't want my quality of work to suffer. I didn't expect too much tbh because....well....corporate monkeys ya know? well yesterday I got an email back asking me several questions to what I had put in there, wanting specific dates and names etc. My other half says that it's likely that they will investigate the time punches and may offer a settlement for fear that I'm intending to sue, but I don't want it. Money was never the issue; I just want things to change there. I wanted someone to get into trouble for brow beating others into submission basically doing things illegally and potentially violating someone's HIPAA rights.. But in doing so, have I made it unsafe for me to walk into that store again? I mean since I promoted myself to customer, they can basically do whatever they want to me now...

Raptorpat Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 you're reporting your boss for wage theft etc. it seems like they're actively investigating and all that overtime you're owed adds up if they're just going to hand it over to you on a silver platter to avoid a lawsuit or having the dep't of labor up their butt different consideration if it's like a pittance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discolé monade Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 (edited) the company i worked for had a lawsuit brought against it by one person. after an audit by what ever entity the guy went through, the company had to pay him about 11k in stolen overtime. i got a check for 700$. they had to pay about a 100 or so of us, because of wage theft over the course of x number of years.

katt_goddess Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Honestly, they can't do shit to you as a 'customer' unless you are in there actively being a real horrible. And even then, they could only kick you out in most areas. And if they were stealing hours from you, they were either doing it to everyone [ massive fraud ] or deliberately choosing victims to steal from [ discriminatory fraud ]. Either way, since it sounds like an actual investigation is being launched, someone is shitting themselves bald right not and its very likely one or more of the people that you wouldn't mind sharting their last follicle away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
