    Close-up of a note with the word thief written on a Santander Bank document

    Boss wrote “thief” on my check. Filed a wage theft report against my former employer, was told he only paid 80% of what was owned, but I dealt with it. When I picked up the check at the Department of Labor, it had "THIEF" boldly written on the subject line. Super awkward, unfair, and embarrassing, especially with others witnessing it. Is there anything that can be done?

    Boss asks if work will be done on flight or weekend

    Boss wants me to “make up” work day I’m missing because im flying back from a work trip. Boss (well-known influencer) travels a lot and I had to accompany her on a trip. The flight is 14+ hours and she booked my return trip on a weekday. She wants me to either work in the flight or come in on the weekend to “make up” for the missed day. This is after I worked 20 straight days with no days off on this trip. And no, I’m not a personal assistant. PSA - don’t work for influencers.

    Boss requests home IP addresses to exclude visits to website work tracking

    My boss just told us we need to give them our home IP address. We don’t work from home. There’s really no reason they should be asking for this. This is an outlandish thing to ask for, right?
