It depends on where you are and when the picture was taken. In the UK that would have been legal until a couple of years ago. There was a scandal when it was publicised that a lot of restaurants, iincluding Jamie Oliver's chain were pocketing all or part of staff tips. Others shared tip between waiting and kitchen staff so that everyone got the same. Restaurants were suddenly full of customers who wanted to know exactly what happened to their tips or tipped in cash. Tips don't count as part of wages though.

It’s embezzlement. We had a celebrated chef open a seafood restaurant on our island a while back. For whatever reason the GM was doing this unbeknownst to the chef, who was mostly just the name on the building rather than actively working. They had an “executive chef” who ran the day-to-day back of house, who ignored the complaints against the GM. They shut down within 18 months after making headlines for embezzling worker-earned tips & bogus service charges.

I'm no expert, but it's possible this isn't illegal. The owner can argue that any tips given through the card machine are tips to the establishment, not an individual. They can't make that argument for cash tips handed to the employee though. A surprising number of establishments play these sort of games and it's not just an injury to the employee, it's also an insult to the customer who tipped.

I started using Instacart long before Covid. Then I heard that they were reducing driver pay based on tips (ie, you tip it is counted towards their pay so the company could give them less). After that I started tipping in cash only, told them I knew what was going on and that as far as Instacart was concerned I was cheap while handing them a $20 or some such. Some of them literally cried when they realized their customers knew and were responding in their favour. (Though my favourite is the guy who delivered during a snowstorm. I'd ordered two days earlier and had completely forgotten he was coming until I got the notice he'd started shopping. I ran out to shovel so he could get up the walkway and then handed him $25 as a thank you. He was flabbergasted. I felt good the rest of the night. :D)

In 2021, we saw the Great Resignation, where millions of employees said “enough is enough” and left their jobs in search of higher salaries, better opportunities and a healthier work-life balance. But according to Universum, this trend isn’t completely over, as recent research shows that we’re entering the Great Re-Resignation.

As it turns out, 36% of highly skilled professionals in Europe are considering quitting their jobs this year. And when it comes to why employees are jumping ship, being forced to return to the office is a significant factor. Workers also aren’t happy with having stagnant wages and lack of growth opportunities in their careers.

I'm Pretty Sure My Boss Started Using Spyware To Screen Capture My Laptop. So I Left This Up

Computer screen in a toxic work environment showing a meme and a message about spyware capturing screenshots.

I work from home because they couldn't find anyone who can do my job in the state they are.I think my boss hates not being able to micro manage me, but consistently gets on my case about things and then says he's not trying to micro manage me. I'm in a highly specialized tech role and the only one here that can do my job, so they literally need me not that I need them.

This morning, I had an update for my laptop. Not unusual. We have very high security and it's always something being added. It ran quickly. Didn't require a restart. I thought nothing of it. Hours later I realize that every maybe 20 or 30 minutes, my monitors kind of blink, like they go black for half a second, and make a tone. It took me too long admittedly to realize it's probably a screen capture. They installed spyware on my laptop to see what I'm doing.

So I have had this on 1 of my screens for the last few captures. If I'm wrong, well, no one sees it but me (and you). But if I'm right, well I'm getting fired anyway so who cares about calling them out to their faces.

My Manager Deleted The Hours I Worked From My Check

Screenshot of a pay period summary showing zero total hours worked, highlighting a toxic work environment issue.

I’m allowed to clock in when I do complimentary training sessions with my clients. When I opened the app to do so today, I noticed the 9.5 hours I worked from last week were removed. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not much. But it’s the principle of it. They manipulated me into staying late every day, and then deleted the hours without even letting me know.

And yes, I do plan on quitting. Currently trying to figure out where I can train my clients in the meantime.

Yup! In the USA, you can file your complaint with the department of their employment and housing or something similarly name, depending on your state. An investigator for reach out to you and then reach out to the company. If this truly happened, they can give you what is called a “right to sue“ or negotiate with the employer to offer you a settlement. They can also fine the employer. In the past decade, this has become such a common complaint that they’ve mostly streamline it with the federal government. I can only speak from the states I live in, but they have also streamline the complaint process. It is very illegal and very winnable.

When I worked for AutoZone, payroll tampering was rampant. They know it and don't care because they know the employees can't afford a lawyer to fight it. And yes, it happened at more than one store. One store the manager would even rewrite the schedule so employees could file for sick pay. You had to be out 3 working days to qualify, so he'd rewrite it so one of your scheduled days off fell within your sick time thereby disrupting the 3 or more days out. Another store just simply deleted any and all OT which was pretty much a guarantee as the stores are grossly understaffed.

Universum’s data also found that many employees are unhappy with their current company’s lack of investment in training and development. It’s difficult to find any motivation to stay in their current positions if they could be in the exact same spot five years down the road.

At the same time, many workers’ priorities have shifted in recent years. Nowadays, having flexible working hours, the option to work from home and an opportunity for a healthier work-life balance are invaluable to employees. Gone are the days when people lived to work; most of us today are simply working to live.

When the rules violate laws, they’re not legitimate rules. Hence, not all rules are rules. More importantly, a bottom line revenue is much higher with happy employees.

We spend less in incentivizing them & fostering a healthy & joyful environment than we lost in destroyed/damaged goods or theft. Make it mutually beneficial and everyone will benefit! That’s our mantra.

We’ve all heard of “quiet quitting,” but have you heard of “revenge quitting”? According to Harper’s Bazaar, this is the latest trend that employees around the world are hopping onto. This is when employees reach a point of feeling so burnt out, frustrated and dissatisfied with their positions that they simply decide one day that they can’t take it anymore. While some experts advise that workers don’t make any snap decisions and quit at the drop of a hat, the relief that comes from knowing you’re finally free from a toxic work environment can be priceless.

Depends on your state. California requires a PTO payout. We had to put a cap on how much PTO a person could earn and then remind people to use their PTO when they're getting close to the cap. The unused PTO sitting on your books is a liability and acts as debt on your balance sheet.

They used to close out and pay out any PTO at the end of the year where I work. A couple years back it changed to use it or lose it. I plan it out now so I use the last of it at the end of the year and have Christmas to New Years off.

Depends on the state. Which is why "take as much vacation as you want" is a huge scam. That translates as: we don't accrue PTO for you, so we don't have to carry that liability on our books, and if you quit we don't owe you anything

One job I had, they wouldn't pay out unused vacation time if you didn't work a 2 week notice. Once you gave notice, they'd tell you you're no longer employed there. Then not pay because you didn't work the notice. Me and another guy refused to leave until we either worked our 2 weeks or they gave us a check. They paid.

But...If their SOP/SOG states that they pay out full rate for PTO, and this is what they did, and you have paystubs from previous PTO usage pay, then this is actually illegal. Because, they cannot pay you, below State/Federal Minimum Wage. Also, some states may have laws against this type of maneuvering, too.

A rise of 0.1%, in fact. I'd put this one down to a genuine, albeit ridiculous, mistake, as someone has just put the 0.10 into the calculation, which would be correct on its own, (as 10/100), then also divided it by a hundred for a second time. Hanlon's Razor applies.

My dad stayed with the same company from his early 20s. The company had a brochure that employees could choose a gift after certain time spent working with them. When he'd done 20 years, he got a microwave oven (way back in the 1980s when they weren't that common in the UK, so it would have been a couple hundred pounds value). At 30 years, he got a colour TV set. The company was then taken over by another, and by the time he reached 40 years employment, he got a £5 book token. He retired a couple years later, and got another £5 book token. They asked him if he'd be willing to stay on because there were so many people leaving "for no obvious reason" management claimed, and he took the opportunity to tell them exactly why they were losing staff.

In the USA, this is dependent on each state. There are 50 different policies regarding this. For example, in my 2 states, as long as someone has a doctors note they can take sick leave. They also have the right to take a medical leave of absence for themselves or immediate family. That’s not questionable anywhere. However, most rank & file file employees are “at will,” means they can be terminated without cause. However, if there is cause such as discrimination of a protective class or manufacturing reasons to terminate, they can file a complaint with both their state and the federal government for wrongful termination. This post is probably a retail job or food and beverage/hospitality, where there are specific dates that really do need all employees working. Those, of course,, would be certain holidays or days around them. For example, Mother’s Day for a restaurant that serves brunch. If you work for a good employer or a cooperatively owned business, you won’t see this cráp.

There has to be a reasonable expectation of working on busy days. Businesses would fail. If you people would stop going there on those days the merchant would realize it's not profitable enough to keep open! Our gas station/retail store's busiest days of the year were thanksgiving and christmas. I get some professions require this: Pilots, medical staff, people who supply gas to emergency vehicles... But the only reason these other places stay open is because YOU GO. So stop! That being said, if you know this going into the job, I don't blame the company. I get the frustration of the manager writing this posting.

So if you happen to find yourself in a toxic work environment, what can you do about that? Healthline says it’s important to first recognize that it’s not your fault. You’re not causing the negativity in your workplace, so don’t feel responsible for fixing it. Now, it may be helpful to take your lunch break outside or in a private location away from the stress of work. And remember to set boundaries to keep your work-life balance as healthy as possible. Try to minimize how much you think and talk about work in your free time.

My Company Filed For Bankruptcy And Refuses To Pay Us

Pay statement screenshot showing gross and take-home earnings with hours worked, highlighting toxic work environment frustrations.

They forced us to do overtime, I had 94 hours in a two week period and on last Friday, April 11th, on pay day they decided to lay us all off and refuse to pay any of us. Then filed chapter 11 bankruptcy. I have like 8 coworkers and they have kids and family they can't support now with no job and more importantly no paycheck.

The company refuses to talk to us. We have reported them to the department of labor. They weren't helpful at all. We were government contractors providing security for a site they were building. But now we have no finacial security of our own.

The picture above is my last pay day. To prove they didn't pay us on April 11th like they were suppose to. Apparently the company was talking about suing us for slander for speaking against them. They got money for lawyers but not to pay us.

It’s also important to stay out of the drama that may be taking place in your office. Stay focused on yourself and your own goals, Healthline recommends. And make sure that you have some sort of ritual or relaxation plan to ensure you can decompress after a long day at work. Find a few key trusted coworkers if you can, and minimize interactions with anyone you consider toxic. And if the environment is taking a huge toll on you or your mental health, don’t be afraid to start planning your exit.

This does indeed meet the guidelines for an unsafe work environment, and you absolutely have federal protection in the USA to refuse to work in an unsafe work environment. Any action taken against you monetarily or related to your status at work would be considered retaliation. You would not need a lawyer to sue. You can file a complaint with your state’s fair employment agency for the federal department and an investigator will reach out to you. This typically gets resolved thru mediation, the employer getting a small fine, OSHA quiz training for employer and you without a job or at least an uncomfortable one.

Went home when that happened 2 weeks ago. I'm not going to,sit in an office without power due to a storm taking out the power for a huge part of town while they fix it. Storm was Saturday night. Power was not fully restored to that part of town until noon Monday. We did have emergency generators but they did not connect to air conditioning. We are a healthcare facility. It was amusing that the lab equipment is connected to emergency power then shut down because the room was above the safe operating temperature.

"Employee Appreciation Meal" My Company Once Provided

So, Jessica Muse, usually the school systems provide these, but PTOs can and do. In one district we were provided with ramen one day and a moonpie another. We were told it was because we did not contribute to the hospitality fund. And no offense, if I am dealing with grading your child's papers, handling their emotional issues, sometimes privately assisting them, and in general being present in more ways than I am paid, all while being paid far too little, then yes, this is an insult.

A year ago last Valentine's day, I got laid off from my job of 5 years. I have 30+ years experience, and they didn't like the pay rate I was getting. So they replaced me with a person with 3 years experience. In September of the same year, I was called by them to help them with an issue their new guy couldn't fix. I told them I had another job, but I was willing to help, but they have to agree to my terms. I wanted 4X my old hourly rate, with a 4 hour minimum. And the manager that decided he could replace me with someone with a tenth of my experience had to apologize to my face and stand next to me while I did my work. If he left, I stopped working. Needless to say, they didn't accept the terms. Funny part was I already knew what the problem was, and I could have fixed it in 5 minutes.

I had to do this at my last job (I'm a computer consultant and it was a professional salaried position). They didn't accept my first request because I didn't include a letter of resignation. Then I submitted it again (I wanted my unused vacation) and just said, "I quit because:" and left a bulleted list of reasons I was quitting. They rejected it again because my last date wasn't in my letter of resignation. The same last date that was in the form I had to fill out online and attach the letter of resignation to. I told them as much, but I don't remember if I filled it out a third time or they just accepted it.

The dates in this screenshot aren't using the US format, so it might be important to note that in countries where at-will employment isn't the standard and companies can't just fire people for no reason (e.g., Canada), employees also have to provide a certain amount of notice before quitting. The employer can't drag you to your job (they probably wouldn't get effective work out of someone that way), but I'm given to understand that there are usually fines involved.

No More Water Bottles On The Floor Without A Doctors Note? Is That Legal?

Cluttered office desk with water jug, pink water bottle, tape dispenser, and phone in a toxic work environment photo.

Today I was told I am no longer allowed to carry my small water bottle unless I have a doctors note. I explained that I do not drink water infront or around customers. That I have to run and help customers on all 10-11 self scan machines. I could understand if I was a cashier but I didn't think that it was fair to make this new rule after l've worked with the company for two years and never had an issue with my water bottle.

After having a meeting I was told that security has to audit workers and workers leave bottles around so now no one is allowed to carry water unless they have a doctors note stating they need to have water on hand. I asked why my manger was allowed to have a gallon of water on her desk and my 8oz water bottle wasn't allowed. All I was told is the office isn't the main floor and customers don't see it and my water bottle was a personal item. I guess I have to schedule a doctors appointment to have them print a paper stating I need to stay hydrated at my 7-8 hour shifts.
