'I'm being singled out': Boss ‘quietly fires’ employee after they report upper management for taking their tips

If there is one thing that employers cannot stand, it is their employees speaking up for their own rights. You should be as quiet as possible in the workplace, and never ever even consider raising issues that are related to your work and/or your employers. An employee who does this kind of thing will probably regret it later on.

Much like the employee in this Reddit story, who thought they were doing the right thing, but their employer definitely did not agree. OP (original poster), noticed that all the upper management was taking money out of the tip pool, something they are definitely not allowed to do, so OP reported it to the Department of Labor (DOL). Somehow, the boss found out about it, and started retaliating against OP - cutting their hours, making them do tasks that are not in their job title, etc… OP now wonders if they should, again, report their boss to DOL.
