There is nothing more satisfying than managing to get someone to admit they are doing something wrong, or even at the very least, to get written proof of the wrongdoing, so you can do something to actively fix it. 

The boss in this Reddit story didn't actually admit they were doing anything wrong, but the employee still counts the conversation as a victory. OP (original poster), has noticed that her pay does not match the hours she clocked in at work, and then she discovered it was because her boss has set the clock system so that it will round up and down in order to pay the employees less. So if a worker clocked in at 10:02, they only start getting paid from 10:15, and if they clock out at 17:55, they only get paid until 17:45. Shady? You bet.

Scroll down to see how the employee cleverly got written proof of the illegal action. After you are done, click here for a story of a job candidate who lied to the hiring manager and regretted it.
