'My girlfriend might have been Quiet Fired': Barista calls out pay discrepancy, boss cuts her hours to zero and ghosts her

This guy's girlfriend better start looking for a new job as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, there were red flags long before she was "quiet fired." First, there was the fact that when she applied for her current barista position, she was promised free meals that were automatically deducted from her paycheck. Those "benefits" were taken away from employees soon after her hiring, but she noticed something strange about her subsequent paychecks. It turns out that they were still deducting the lunch money from her checks well after the benefits were removed. When she called her boss out on this shady behavior, he barely acknowledged it but then decided to cut her hours to zero when he released everyone's shift schedules the following week. Of course, he attempted to ghost her when she followed up.
