The professional world has far too many shady bosses that are trying to pull fast ones on employees that they vastly underestimate. There had to have been some kind of morally centered voice echoing with pleas in the back of this guy's brain to just pay his employees like he was supposed to. But alas, no such action occurred. So, the labor board made the very necessary intervention. For another pro revenge tale check out the time that a client tried to screw an employee over by locking out of the system, and then it totally backfired.

    Font - Don't want to give me my last paycheck? Make that a double. This happened to me spring 2017. In 2016 I was unhappy at my current position with not very many hours, and too much drama, I started shopping for a new job. Got a few offers nothing that l'd take as the one I had allowed me to have weekends off so I could work my second job. I eventually landed an interview with a brand new construction company. So I sat down and who walks out? An acquaintance I work with on the weekends. We sta

    Font - So needless to say I'm offered the job on the spot, as I have a real work reference right there. I take the job as it was "exactly what I was looking for" with a work vehicle as a perk an "expense account." Turns out that was me just spending my own money and getting reimbursed. One of many shady practices and red flags. Edit: this was supposed to be a company credit card not a reimbursement account. Being American I needed some health care. I ended up having to borrow money for a medical

    Font - About a year goes by and I see one tradesman after another get hired on then fired. It was a repeating pattern so I knew my time was limited if I paid him back. I also knew l'd have have a tough time getting paid even if the amount earned was more than what I owed. So I began looking for another job. Found one easily enough. More perks, a way more reputable company. I knew I had time this just right, so I planned my exit with only three days worked on the pay period. So when I received my

    Font - Boom it all goes down in a shit show, I returned everything. Owner threatens to call the cops. Says I owe him way more and I did. Claims I broke everything in my vehicle. One of the beautiful things about a boss that is never on site, is most everything is done by email or text. I send him screen shots of everything including a picture of my zero balance owed. Texts back l'll get my last check in the mail. Thanks for more evidence. 2 months go by I called twice after a few weeks. Got hung

    Font - File a wage claim with the department of labor. Lady straight up tells me there's not much she can do because all the boss has to do is dispute it. And then it will go to a hearing be dragged out possibly for years over a few hundred dollars. Email her everything. She complements me on my thorough documentation. And says I might have a case. She then tries to contact my former employer. Gets hung up on. Gets placed on hold. Then she got yelled the by bosses girlfriend. Who happen to be th

    Font - No hearing was needed. Op here is your check, please come by the department of labor labor to pick it up. I go to pick up my check. She then hands me a form, and says that if l'm satisfied check that box but if l'd like a more thorough investigation if one is warranted. And she strongly suggested that I check that box so I did. One week later I received another identical paycheck. Which I had to go pick up. In the meantime my friend who worked in the office, started documenting everything
