'I believe it came out to a little under 100k': Company cheats delivery driver out of tips, has to backpay all former employees and pay fines

There will always be employers out there who think that they can step on the little guy's toes while dipping their hand into their wallet in order to turn a profit.

Like it's not that difficult to get up in the morning and put on your business persona and treat other people with the slightest amount of respect.

'I jumped in my truck, called his boss, and went home': Jerk construction operator abuses wrong contractor, gets fired

There are times when you've gotten away with doing the wrong thing for so long you grow accustomed to getting away with it — like that u-turn you pull while dropping the kids off at school, speeding on your favorite route to work, chopping up kidnapped victims in your basement, or — in a different manner — those late nights playing GameBoy under the covers as a kid.
