Photos of an alleged resignation policy went viral on Reddit after they were posted to a popular subreddit. The resignation policy claims that the company will withhold all tips and reduce the wages of all outgoing employees.

The thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by an ex-employee's perplexed boyfriend. He posted the thread with the title "My girlfriend's last job has an interesting response to quitting."

These kinds of manipulative policies are often implemented by bad employers in order to gaslight uninformed workers into thinking that the employer has the power to do such a thing. In reality, any policy that isn't legal isn't going to hold any water when push comes to shove.

Commenters were shocked by the policy and questioned its legality.

"My gut says at least one of those is illegal in the US." commented geekymutt.

Another commenter, Ok-Gear-5593, advised that the workers take action. "Send it to your state wage and labor department. The company may be too small for them to care about or rules to apply though."
