'Imma get fired LOL [worth it]' : Shady management tries to pull a fast one, law student employee hits them with legal knowledge that epically shuts it down

Many people during their college years take a job to cover their expenses while they study for their eventual full-time career. For example, you don't need a 4 year degree to wait tables or deliver pizza, so you pick up this kind of service industry job while you continue your education in something that does require multiple years of education like a doctor or lawyer. 

Yes, that's right, even future lawyers work in service industry while they're in school (except for like rich nepo-babies..). And for any toxic manager out there, we hope you hire a law student and get your tush served back to you when you try to pull some illegal crap on your hardworking employees. This is exactly what happened with Reddit poster u/Old-Invite3028. The Redditor is in law school and working a side gig as they take their classes. The manager tried to pull some a shady fast one and said if employees continued to not clock in or out properly, there would be financial punishment. 

This law student epically messaged back with out any care in the world saying, "I swear I'm not trying to be obtuse but I'm in law school so whatever, the withholding of wages for the reason of disciplinary action is illegal." BOOM. They didn't share their management's response, but the Redditor knew it wasn't going to be pretty and didn't even care.
