'Definitely do NOT do that': College kid gets first job and is given bogus advice from sketchy boss, internet comes to the rescue

Do you remember your first real job? It's an exciting and terrifying time. This isn't a family member paying you to do some chore, this is a legit tax-paying business that is paying you to do a job. And that feeling when you get that first job in the field you want to be working in? The pressure is like nothing else! It's welcomed, yet stressful. Capitalism, amiright? Usually during your first real job, someone who knows their way around the ins and outs of the place will take you under their wing and become a mentor of sorts. You hang on every word of this person. It's not until way later that you realize, they aren't really the top dog at the place either and maybe you shouldn't be taking everything they say as great advice? This college kid at their first job got outright illegal advice from their boss, like, the kind of advice that says this boss is doing some sketchy things, and now is filled with dread about this job. She used to be considered employee of the month, but now she doesn't even want to go in. See what happened and the Redditors that came in with actually good advice below!
