‘HR was even on my side’: Penny-pinching manager sneakily docks 1 hour per day from employee's timesheet, employee reports her but manager makes excuses to save face

During the holiday season, many customer service employees might be trying to get some extra hours in so they can make ends meet for all of their Christmas events they plan on attending, or their gifts they plan on giving.

Every hours counts when you're an hourly employee, so a toxic manager trying to commit wage theft shouldn't be taken lightly. You work for the money you have, and any higher-up trying to steal the money from out of your pocket should be reprimanded. Employees in positions of power try to pull fast-ones all the time, so nipping their entitled behavior in the bud is integral to keeping your workplace honest and fair—you are the crusader to protect your fellow employees! The battle starts now.

In this next story, an employee noticed an hour was docked from their time card every day they worked in a week, so they immediately went to HR to report it. The employee expresses that they don't get full lunch breaks during the busy holiday season, so they get their hourly rate during their lunch break to make up for the lack of downtime. HR was on their side and immediately went to the employee's direct manager to remedy the situation—but this entitled manager had a bunch of excuses that explained a whole lot of nothing.
