    Font - r/) r/EntitledPeople - Posted by u/VictOr117 4 days ago 2 e3 3 3 2 Karen doesn't realize I'm a citizen, tries to enslave wife and I with fake "debts" Story about somebody much more well off than I expecting me to meet their financial obligations while demanding that I falsify medical paperwork and commit insurance fraud while withholding pay. Basically, my wife and I had just immigrated back to the US and needed jobs and a place to stay. We thought we'd struck gold when a fabulously wealt

    Font - Then about 3 month's in my wife noticed the pantry (which was itself bigger than our livingroom) was not being re-stocked by the grocery delivery company that normally did these things. We contacted our employer, who flew into a rage that managing that sort of thing was our responsibility so she had canceled the delivery service without telling us. It became apparent that she fully expected us to notice and take care of it ourselves. When I asked her how she expected us to buy groceries f

    Font - Yeah. This b h earnestly thought we should be using our personal paychecks, which were NOT very big, to pay for her parent's upkeep. After much deliberation she grudgingly left us a credit card to go out and buy groceries for her parents, which added to our workload at no extra pay, but we didn't have anywhere else to stay and no other job lined up so we just dealt with it. Well, another few months go by and she contacts us again, she wants us to sign something. The paperwork shows up and

Karen goes nuts screaming into the phone about how much she has done for us and we owe her, how she will report that we are neglecting her parents, and then call immigration on us and have us deported. (I don't think she ever realized I am a citizen and my wife immigrated legally.) I tell her that what she is asking us to do is fraud, and that I'd rather get fired than arrested for a felony. I tell her she has 90 days to find a replacement for us and we will b

    Font - My wife and I continue our services for the old folks while looking for a new place, because they were actually super nice and the situation wasn't their fault. They were also VERY senile, mistaking us for other people they knew, forgetting they had kids, etc etc, so they can't be held accountable for their daughter's behavior as they lack any ability to intervene. Then, instead of a paycheck I get a bill for the last 8 months of rent and a note that she isn't paying our wages until we "p

    Font - Yeah. This L ch actually tried to make us into indentured servants. So, without responding I continue performing my duties. Studiously keeping logs on our hours, and retaining all the "reciepts" for how much more we owed her. 90 days go by without a paycheck. We purchased groceries using the card she provided, which she added to our "debts." We document EVERYTHING. About a week before the 90 day , we contact 2 government agencies. First, the state department of labor to report exploitatio

    Font - There was about a 60 second dead silence on the phone, then hysterical laughter and she hung up. Okay... not the response I expected but f. k it, one more week and we're gone. 8 hours later she shows up in the driveway in a rental car. This bi ch bought a one way plane ticket to come out to the estate and report us to the cops for trespassing on the property. This, of course, doesn't work because we have a tenancy contract and if she wants us gone she has to utilize the legal eviction pro

    Font - She moves in to their house that night and presumably takes over our duties. I would go out on the balcony every day for the week before I left to drink my coffee, and smile as I stared across the big, luxurious lawn to see her standing in the picture window, arms crossed, glaring death at me. To make a long story short, the expensive lawyers she has convince her to pay our back wages with additional interest for violating state labor laws by withholding them. (Turns out trying to enforce
