Retail Employee Written Up For Taking Lunch, Finds Out Job’s Been Stealing Pay For Months
The antiwork subreddit never disappoints, and this week’s retail job story is no exception. A worker was punished for taking a lunch break, only to discover that their company had been quietly stealing their pay the entire time.
It’s one thing to deal with bad managers…it’s another when they’re literally shaving money off your check. The post quickly went viral as people shared their own wage theft horror stories. Because nothing says “teamwork” like your boss asking you to clock out and keep working.
