Most Corrupt Bosses Ever | People Stories

[@_JustAnotherKid__]

So essentially, keep tabs and proof of things so companies don't screw you.

[@Davtwan]

Always have your paystubs and time cards. Always.

[@spritemon98]

I'll hopefully remember to do this when I get a job

[@WASDLeftClick]

That’s capitalism for you. Corruption is incentivized as long as you can get away with it. The damn honor system doesn’t work on the scale of national economies:

[@KnakuanaRka]

Yep; make sure you have the receipts, record everything and CYA.

[@willmunoz1638]

Most corrupt thing employers of mine have ever done (over multiple jobs): Local community recreation center I volunteered for: asked me to mop a floor Subway restaurant: asked me to mop a floor Local estate auction service I worked for: wage robbed me out of 100 bucks over one summer by calling me a contract laborer instead of computing my hourly wage as promised, which also screwed up my IRS paperwork Chickfila: asked me to mop a floor Most of my employers don't do corrupt stuff lol

[@MrDlt123]

In High School, I had an employer that kept pushing the entire staff to work later hours (on school nights) but was clocking us all out hours prior to closing, saying "Well, if you guys worked faster, we'd be done by now." Anyway, we quit en masse, and the boss eventually got canned by corporate for the stunt.

[@spritemon98]

I'd secretly take or take pictures of the documents I was being told to shred

[@carljacobs1837]

I just flat out kept them. Documents that needed to be kept forever, being government contracts. I didn't steal them, hid all of it at work. Tiny electronic parts that sold for .65 cents to everyone except the government, then it jumped to $6500 a piece. We sold over 250,000 pieces to them in a year. Payroll records that were for people that never existed. That company suddenly went "bankrupt," sold out, moved offshore.

[@ladyr4699]

Kroger employee here: it’s 100% true. They said they couldn’t afford to keep paying us the pandemic bonus pay, but then the ceo got a $22 million dollar bonus

[@janedoe-hq9vn]

Are they still a union and force people to pay union fees, even though they don't do jack for the employees?(at least that had been a person I know experience)🤔

[@rebound1340]

@@janedoe-hq9vn yea some unions are corrupt and terrible, my mother who works as an administrator in nursing home always talked about how they were willing to just fuck over their employees as long as they got their cut

[@kaitlyn3168]

That sucks. I really liked kroger. I shopped there from time to time. I hope you guys got compensated afterwards. Sorry to hear that

[@cosmicHalArizona]

Graft & corruption?

[@Thor_Odinson]

And didn't Kroger actually close some stores when some cities implemented "hero pay". I don't shop at Fred Meyer(Kroger) any more.

[@jdarnone]

I worked for a company once that an entire department got a $5 raise per paycheck, and then automatically had that $5 donated to charity so the department would have 100% participation. Then the company gets to say, "Look at how generous we are"

[@janedoe-hq9vn]

Curious to know if the $ actually went to charity...im skeptic of charities too...American Red Cross CEO helped herself to 7 figures during 9/11...

[@WayWardWonderer]

At my old job they LOVED to give everyone the magical time of 39.5 hours per week during the holidays and were on your ass to make sure you clocked-out right on time so they didn't have to pay you for working 40 hours because then we were entitled to time and half. It didn't matter that the store was overwhelmed, understaffed and everyone was exhausted, they were adamantly against paying anyone a decent wage! Don't miss that job one bit...

[@rochellethundercloud346]

1.osha violations abound 2.health code violations abound 3.worked us damn near to death 4.not pay 5.no breaks,period,dock a full week pay if we use the restroom during our shift

That’s just slavery with extra steps.

@ rochelle thundercloud that’s SOO illegal and they can’t do that . Please call the labor department even if it’s years ago just to make them aware to keep an eye on them and hold them accountable!!!

[@Dkrule1]

22:50 I worked for a Kroger as well, fry's food and drug in az, they kinda forced everyone with 40 hours for the first time...and then after the hype ..they cut everyone down to 10 hours and hired too many people, getting rid of good mangers so they could get cheaper ones, to the point they had no idea what they were doing,,,it was god awful,,,and someone just told me they got fired for what the manager told them to do

[@acetrainerarcane1755]

3:09 This happened to my sister with a car she bought, but instead the breaks needed to be repaired only a few weeks after purchasing. They kept saying that they couldn't do anything and eventually my dad helped my sister with taking them to court since he was very familiar with cars. Luckily they won and got the repairs done

[@F40PH-2CAT]

Never let employees ban you from CARRYING your phone. They can make you not use it, but never agree to leave it in a locker or your car, etc. I had this issue with an employer, held my ground and they eventually caved.

[@k.chriscaldwell4141]

Yeah, I know a guy that works at a big box place. He carries two phones. One to give his employer on the way into work, and the other to keep him connected and to provide a camera as needed.

[@skylarjnelson6898]

make minors stay out past curfew to finish up closing. most of the people i work with are in their teens and have to be home before 10 unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. yesterday we had a lot of people call out so it was basically just me and these girls closing the whole restaurant. apparently one of them is grounded now anf has to miss her next couple of shifts. she told the managers she was going to be in trouble when she got home but they didn't care. now they're out one server during our busiest time.

[@geoffa87]

I used to work as a recruiter at a local temp service, and whooo boy the shit that flew there. Temps not getting paid OT, one client asking me to not send them any non-white candidates, trying to weasel out of commissions owed, etc. I might have dropped a dime to my state DOL when I left.

[@janedoe-hq9vn]

Worked for a company that would put my hours in exactly at 10pm and exactly at 6am...not exactly when I punched in and out. I started keeping a log, documenting the times when I punched in and out. Brought this up to payroll and she blew me off until I showed her my little book. Then, she tried to cover herself by saying they were able to "round " up hours. No. No. They DID do this to the people who were working on their Visas which I'd criminal. They felt they couldn't stand up for themselves, worried they would be fired or worse...I left that company. F them...did get time corrected....be mindful of your check...take action and document.

[@sevenn7pure]

I worked for a place that the owner was selling pirated copies of MCSFT software. I should preface by saying they actually did prison time for doing the same thing a few years earlier. Over time, we figured out that they were doing the same thing and a bunch of people walked.

[@shayalmasy101]

You know where I live if my scheduled hours are cut below the hours I signed a contract on you can actually get unemployment and still work until they give you your hours back. So that happen to me when the boss was trying to make me quit and she cut my hours and I wouldn’t quit at all. So I went on unemployment and enjoyed my time until she had to pay for it. The next month I got my hours back.

[@diamante47100]

I broke my old bosses jaw because he withheld money form my mother because she wouldn’t date him .. got off Scott free after his corruption was in veiled

[@DarthLahey479]

On more than one warehouse job, per instructions of a supervisor, I’ve got on a skid that he had on a forklift, on he lifted me up to one of the racks to fix something that was broken or falling.

[@micearenice8963]

That's spot on about Kroger. People doing so much overtime to fill hours

[@SageofStars]

Caught a boss editing time sheets(Was one of two assistant managers), told him directly, catch him doing that again, we report to the police. He never did again(And yes, we could check), though he did later try to get us to 'donate' time to hand out fliers corporate sent to help boost business. They also sent extra hours to help facilitate this, but he would have hated to give up that bonus he got for coming in under hours.

Kroger is crap. That's why they are going out of business. I worked there for a week while I was waiting to ship with the Army over half a decade ago. They just stopped giving me hours. Literally no hours. Didn't realize that was illegal until years later

[@bobwalsh3751]

Mandatory overtime. Firing an employee because they called OSHA to report a violation. Not allowing employees to unionize and threatening to fire any and everyone who ever even stated the word union on company premises. Follett in a nutshell. EDIT: Oh and forcing one employee (I know of) to work (light duty, but still) while receiving workman's comp, threatening to not pay her if she didn't.

i never worked in this place, and i can't give details, but i'd like to tell you all a few things about this place that aren't closely kept secrets and let you put two and two together. -our city had to compete with other cities to get this place with us. we expected them to provide much-needed industrial jobs to the city they chose. my city won by selling the land it would build on for ONE DOLLAR. -they hired a lot of people in my city- at first. not long after opening, mor and more foreigners came in, from all over the world, to work at this facility. gradually, preexisting canadian workers are phased out. -as this was happening, there were some news stories of canadian companies abusing foreign worker programs to get more of these foreign workers to work for them. these stories faded into obscurity, but there are plenty of better-circulated news segments about employers wanting more immigrants to come to canada because "canadians won't work." -the company was supposed to provide well-payed jobs, but as more foreign workers come in, i noticed that they all seemed very poor. they took the bus to and from work; my family, some of whom have been employed by this company at one point or another, often participated in charity events to help these workers make ends meet. for worker from one particular nation, the company had built tenements in all but name. many of the rest live multiple families to a house, saving up to buy property so they could become landlords. i couldn't tell you why they didn't go home, or find work elsewhere in the city, but things are looking up for the foreign workers and their families. some of them are in management positions now, and their kids, generally speaking, seem to be doing very well for themselves.

Big apple expects you to work your 8 hour shift without a break if you’re at a 24 hour location. But because it’s illegal not to take one they don’t raise hell over it. But I’m expecting my bosses boss to talk to me about how I need to help customers regardless of being on break. If she tries this I’ll be recording it because I don’t like being bullied over my customer service skills.

I don't get the owner not being allowed to take tips. Obviously if the agreement was separate tips or if he was taking an unfairly large share or not actually working with the floor staff it's bad but if he was working with his employees he has as much right to the communal tips as anybody, and probably a lot more need of them with the cost of a new business
