Employee gets fired over email at midnight with no warning, reports company to the IRS for misclassifying him as a contractor: 'It's mind-blowing how fast things can go sideways when companies cut corners'

In today's economy, it's not uncommon to juggle multiple jobs just to keep up with rent, bills, and the ever-increasing cost of living. Side hustles aren't just trendy anymore... sometimes they're actually necessary. Whether it's freelance work, gig apps, or 1099 contracts, a lot of people are grinding after hours to build a financial cushion. I've done it too, and honestly, I respect anyone who can balance multiple gigs without letting one slip.

But sometimes, companies take advantage of this hustle culture. And when they do, they deserve to be called out.
