Update: Hotel overnight worker "forgets" second language to get even with boss who won't pay $100 bonus

As a hotel employee doing the night shift, this person plays an important role at their workplace. Alongside working as the night auditor, they were a good person to hire because they speak multiple languages: they know both Portuguese and English, and are currently learning Spanish from another employee. You can imagine why being multilingual would be beneficial for any kind of worker in the hospitality business. Knowing as many languages as possible is key, and since English is one of the most widely spoken languages across the world, that one is especially good to know. Knowing numerous languages was so encouraged at this hotel that there's a nice bonus for any employee who does so!

However, the bosses at this hotel establishment weren't holding up their end of the bargain. They kept promising that the next paycheck would contain the language bonus money… then the next one… but it never showed up! You'll have to keep reading to find out what the employee did next, but to keep it simple, they acted their wage!

It's a good reminder that just because your boss tells you to do something outside of your job description, doesn't mean you necessarily have to do it. The managers can pay up or discover the consequences for withholding money from their employees!

While we're talking about money, next up, read about these workers who detailed the reasons they quit their bad jobs, like one person whose final straw was when their "Paycheck bounced, I was done."
