    Font - Try to get me fired... Enjoy the end of your law career. I'm John, I worked in a pizza shop back when I was in college. I worked with Sarah, a vindictive lady who would stir up a lot of drama. Sarah would pick a target and then bully them into quitting.

I was ineligible for student support due to my parents' income, even though they didn't support me, and I desperately needed this job. Matt, a new hire, quit after Sarah's ha ent. Sarah's attention then turned to me, Sarah would approach my supervisor and spout bi it like:

This while the supervisor was actually cutting pizzas. - She would shout at me with extreme hostility. - She'd wouldn't warn me if pans were hot a major sin in kitchen jobs. - She conspired with her friends to accuse me of slacking off, even though they'd never complained about me until Matt quit.

    Font - This took a toll on me. My hours were cut, impacting both my financial and mental well-being. I even considered dropping out of college because I was struggling to afford rent. Sarah was illegally claiming student welfare despite being employed by the pizza shop. You can only claim the welfare if your are unemployed. Sarah, in the first year of her law degree, was also aspiring to become a lawyer.

    Font - The thing about being a lawyer is that you need to be admitted to the 'bar' to begin practicing. The law industry is very strict, even proven allegations of plagiarism in college would make one permanently ineligible to become a lawyer. Frankly, she was stupid for defrauding the government. There is an anonymous complaints line for welfare fraud. Most of the time the welfare department never follows up. Occasionally, however, they would send officials to investigate. This was one of those

    Font - I sent an anonymous tip, stating the business, her schedule, her name, and her number. I was on shift when some officials from the welfare department came in, informing that multiple complaints were made against Sarah. I think my boss could have just told them to scram since they probably didn't have a warrant, but instead of doing that he licked their shoes, showing them all of the CCTV footage.

    Font - The officials then questioned Sarah. She panicked, confessing to everything. I felt no sympathy for her. As a law student she should've known to remain silent. Long story short, Sarah received a suspended sentence which would most certainly disqualify her from becoming a lawyer. She dropped out of college, while I continued working at the pizza shop and eventually graduated with an associates. I have an alright job now.

    Font - Fun-Yellow-6576 3 hr. ago Good for you! My ex-SIL was receiving unemployment and had received and refused several good job offers because she wanted to use all 26 weeks of her eligibility. After bragging about it one day at a family bbq, 6 of us called the fraud hotline and turned her in.

    Font - She was contacted and denied it, but when several of the jobs she turned down were mentioned to her she lied about the offers. A full investigation was handled, she lost her benefits AND had to pay back weeks of the disallowed benefits. T47 Reply Share

    Font - law-breakers is a different story, we want people who do that, but we don't like colleagues who break the law themselves). Good riddance to bad rubbish and thanks for keeping the likes of her out of the profession. ↑ 11 Reply Share
