    I didn’t stop to greet some customers as I walked in with a cane for the third week in a row due to nerve damage.

    I wasn’t on the clock, we didn’t have a uniform, no name tag, nobody would even know I work there until I put my shit on after I clock in.

    By that time I had made it a habit of recording every interaction with management, so I just pulled out my phone, hit the record button, and asked “so to be clear, are you officially reprimanding me for NOT doing work off the clock?” and that immediately shut him up.

    Managers get awfully pensive when they have recording devices capturing them.

      Depending on where you live, you might be better off not scaring your employers with a visible recording device.

      Why not let the law figure out what your bosses were asking for? In the US, attorneys will take these cases for free and be paid only if you are.

        Just chiming in to say all of Canada is one party consent.

          I found this out when Christian Selig (the Apollo app for Reddit developer) announced he had audio showing Reddit lied to him.

            I was so happy to see he had the foresight to do that.

            Was reddit 100% in the wrong on that (if anybody listened to the audio? I think it was shared as a part of Christian’s lengthy post)?
