Even if OP in the first didn't stick around, she still should've been mailed a check for the unpaid overtime. Same with anyone who ever worked for him and got hours cut. Shouldn't matter if they still work there or not.
Yeah I noticed this, too. In fact if OP’s boss can’t prove they did mail out the last check then not only do they still OP that last check, as well as all the unpaid overtime, but he also owes OP big time for being late on the last paycheck. Some states you only have like 48hrs and every day after incurs additional fees
Probs bc they said themselves that they have to live paycheck to paycheck? Finding a probono lawyer is not as easy as it sounds by what I noticed with other stories.
@@EvaHoshizora But then what about those other employees who got the backpay for all the money they missed over their time there? Even to former employees?
Fire marshals can basically say "No, This isn't a building, it's a bonfire waiting to happen." Because pretty much every fire safety code exists because of something prior that caused a fire.
That's basically why OSHA and every safety regulation/law exists. Because dozens or hundreds of people died because of unsafe practices; they died for those rules to be implemented to save other lives.
Fun fact: the reason why engineers have to enter a registry in California is because of the St. Francis dam failure that directly killed upwards of 600 people and injured thousands. The man who designed the dam was a... oh, brace yourself for this... 'self-taught engineer'. Yo, many of the victims' bodies were straight up just washed away, never to be seen again. *People are still finding bones of victims from that incident to this day.* Regulations exist for a goddamn *reason.*

Listening to your content has helped me so much. After two years of dealing with postpartum, I couldn’t even convince myself to get up long enough to vacuum most days. As a stay at home mom, that doesn’t cut it lol. I found these videos and listen to them while I do pretty much everything around the house. Idk why, but they helped get me back to being fully functional. Thank you so much rslash ❤️
Thanks guys ❤️ I have days that still aren’t perfect of course, but it’s genuinely night and day now. I got my life back. I hope he does see this so he knows his true impact.
My therapist has had me purposefully pair things I enjoy doing with things I struggle with. Like watching rslash while I do the dishes. Good on you figuring the technique out for yourself! I have found it very helpful to set myself up with good routines so that things get done without me thinking about them very much because I'm just pushing through my routine. Best wishes to you and yours, and don't be afraid to get help if you need it. It's out there, sometimes you have to look pretty hard, but it's out there.
Boss: "You don't tell anything unless I give you permission next time!" OP: "Okay." *Ignores all his crap, and reports his ass* Boss: *Surprised Pikachu Face*
Landlord: has an unfinished building not up to code, without a permit City "you have to fix this" Landlord "let me get my lawyer" Fire marshal "LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING"
I really wish there was another break in or something, just so OP could say to the cops "My boss says I can't tell anything to you unless he gives me permission."
Do you play valorant? I swear I remember you. You played kj and I played sage it was on breeze. Maybe I'm talking to someone I've never met in my life but eh
Usually it actually *is* for tax purposes, it just so happens that lying or cheating your way out of taxes is supposedly illegal (billionaires don’t apply for some reason but that’s for congress to work out)
@@smartaleckduck4135 yeah, they’ve been shrinking the IRS budget and staffing for years. Last I knew, 45 had made it so there were only like 2,200 employees? which is about the same it was in the 1950s so if billionaires just don’t pay, there’s no one to audit them
yea everyone just jumps to OPs side and congratulates her for being so brave and stunning while ignoring the fact that she let this go on for years, helped cover her boss's illegal activities, helped screw over her coworkers, probably gave food poisoning to her customers for years... sure she ain't as bad as the boss but that doesn't mean she's a good person or the hero of the story.
@@theswedishdude1 I'm pretty sure she admitted that herself and accepted responsibility. Also, she mentioned not really knowing just how illegal everything the boss was doing was and that makes me think she was probably really young when she started working for him. Plus, her desperation for a job didn't help because hungry people make poor shoppers. Not saying she shouldn't have reported earlier (she should have) but I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt in this case as she seems genuinely remorseful for not doing it sooner. I will also mention that if OP is in America then it might have been harder to leave/report due to how the country runs businesses and the lack of good unions (there are some but they're pretty demonized despite being there to protect workers from shit like what OP's ex boss did). We also have to take retaliation into account because OP would definitely have suffered from that if the boss had ever found out.
OP definitely SHOULD have spoken up. However, the system is rigged against that. If she had spoken up too soon, he'd have gotten away with it due to the lack of paperwork. It wouldn't have been as severe. Also what protections are there for OP when retaliation happens? The man's spouse is STILL RUNNING. His direct family is still operational, and likely connected to his bank. if there truly was a good system, she'd be barred as long as she's married to him due to the risks. He was barely punished in the grand scheme of things. He isn't suffering.
@@Blackdragon99omfg An anonymous tip to a health inspector and a surprise inspection might have been enough. There were already violations. The wages would be different. OP was inexperienced and still learning, though.
@@theswedishdude1 In America, poor people don't have the luxury to report rich criminals most of the time. Especially if the rich criminal in question is the one dropping pennies in your outstretched hand. What gave OP the courage to stand up and do something wasn't the build-up of time, it was the hint of a financial safety net. Remember, OP's folks said they'd cover rent for a while; AND the OP had managed to scrape together roughly three months of bills money. If it weren't for the safety net, OP could've wound up in debt or homeless by reporting everything. People who can barely afford a decent meal and a roof don't have the wiggle room to bargain on their paycheck.
@@bradleyj.fortner2203 Trust me when I say, she probably had her own reason (that she didn't list) about why she would walk away from that. She just didn't want the money. She did it for the other people who were working under him.
Sometimes when you are young and already heavily devalued in society, you just want to move on and get away from the bad things that you didn't know was bad until you are too far in. If she is really owed backpay, it'll come to her in a different way I'm sure. Especially if she lives in the USA (I'm assuming because of the mention of OSHA). I got fired from a job and sometime after that they were under investigation for not paying what they owed, so I got backpay in the form of a treasury note.
For the last story: Op: -~calls building inspector~ Building inspector: Hold up. Let me get someone else. ~calls the fire Marshall~ Fire Marshall, arrives: I'm about to end this whole man's career.
that’s actually what’s done, building inspectors handle the buildings except the fire suppression systems. fire marshal handle the sprinklers, alarms, fire escapes, entrances and exits, and standpipes(those bright red hose connections to the building and inside). they can literally close an entire building complex if they aren’t satisfied, and do so until they’re satisfied and not a damn thing can be done by anyone without a court order!
When you described the store with the terrible sanitary practices, I was imagining Gordon Ramsey walking through there yelling at everyone ^.^ I sure am glad he got what was coming to him.
Yep. Sounded exactly like a kitchen nightmares candidate described by an employee. Would have served that owner right to get ripped a new one by Gordon. But honestly this guy seemed to be beyond rescue even for Gordon.
I was hired on the spot for Domino’s. Sure the job sucked, I worked more than legally allowed in one shift for a minor, and literally no one got breaks, but they were so short on staff that it made sense. This was also at the beginning of May 2021.
Nuclear revenge has sort of been put on the back burner, since so many teens trying to be edgy were making up obviously fake stories. As for TreeLaw, there's just not that many full stories with updates on there. It hurts, because I love watching idiots pay through the nose like they just took a cheap drink in some Tijuana bar with a girl who looks like they should be paying for it, only to wake up in a bathroom minus a liver and a couple kidneys.
antonio conte in the thumbnail: he's a succesful soccer (football) coach, he's also known for getting very heated during matches. it's so funny to me you chose him for showing "a pissed guy" 🤣🤣
so OP had no problem with screwing over her coworkers, helped boss cover illegal activities or giving her customers food poisoning for years but when the boss yelled at her then it was time to shut him down... OP isn't as bad as the boss but she sure as shit ain't the good guy in this story.
Uh did you not see where she said she wasn't comfortable with *ANY OF THE BOSSES PRACTICES ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME TO MESSING WITH HER COWORKERS TIME!?!?!?!?!*
@@strudel_reviews yet she went along with it for YEARS. it's one thing to be uncomfortable and then make it right but to do it for that long and not do anything until he yells at you is selfish and disgusting.
I absolutely agree with you. That amount of money would make huge difference in OP’s life. If anything it could help with paying off any debt, be used as a rainy day fund, or put into investing for retirement.
First story : OP, I’m glad you’re in a better place now… but, like Rslash said, I wish you had gotten your back pay… you are owed that money, after all it’s rightfully yours!
The first story reminded me a story of a well known sub shop in my old shopping center. I was a business neighbor. I had friends from that shop. One of the old managers was just like the owner except he was a sleaze ball. My close friend and former fellow manager was fired for no reason. I knew him from his old job.
I worked for the Fire Commissioner for a state in which I no longer live, for 30 years. All those building permits and the Certificate of Occupancy that are required, are required for a reason. If that building had a C of O, it was either a forgery or issued fraudulently or was for the building as originally built. Once any modifications were made, other than strictly cosmetic, the old C of O was no longer valid for the areas where changes were being made. That is why you NEED Building Permits and City, County or State inspections. Do not screw with the Fire Commissioner or any office that reports to them = you WILL get burned!
OP isn’t a saint either. Literally KNEW what the boss/owner was doing for YEARS and only did something when he got mad for being yelled at 🙄 So he never thought about the countless people eating expired and disgusting food? They’re just like the person who literally saw a coworker spit in someone’s food and didn’t say anything until the end of the shift and went to the manager.
To be honest OP and her old boss are the reason why so many people get sick from eating out.I understand if you really need a job but OP is almost as bad as the owner. He probably caused a lot of people to get sick and this place is probably subway.
@@azisles02 not quite true, a manager's job is to make sure the boss's wishes are acted upon. If the boss wants to serve shitty food, that's their problem. Now, keep in mind I'm not saying this from a moral stance, just an economic one.
Exactly. This is why I fully believe in karma. Those that don't believe ... I stay away from because I know when it hits them, they'll be Tina of shrapnel.
For the first story, you can tell that OP's boss is literally squeezing out as much money out of his employees and store items so he could get more money in his pocket in the fallout. The one thing I've learned from watching RSlash is if anyone (especially entitled jerks) comes from money, there's a good chance that they're gonna do anything to get more money in their pocket. Whether that be from child support, having a monthly money payment from parents, having a job or smooching off of their partners.
It makes me so happy how Rslashs fans are so active and make cute little comments to hype him and his content up. I watch these everyday and it’s a part of my daily routine and it’s really cool to see other people have this routine too. You guys are cool
first story: I wonder why OP's expenses were so high, that with OP working as an area manager and spouse working long shifts, they had barely any savings and were like one step away from homelessness
I worked as a manager at a pizza place in college and still only made $1.25 above minimum wage. Just because OP was a manager doesn’t mean she was making significant money. It was probably barely more than minimum.
@@Annie_Annie__ OP themselves said 1.5x above minimum wage, that's almost nothing... They were making roughly $1700 a month, working 40h a week paid... Depending on where OP lived, that is barely enough for rent and bills =/ Edit: Also, there is no mention of kids, so that might be another expense they are not mentioning.
OP was with the sub company for 6 years, not 5(interestingly the same amount of time I was at my first job, also a sub company, except my boss was awesome). They probably let their coworkers suffer that long to have a good pile of evidence.
The first red flag should have been being hired on the spot. What kind of company hires without doing a drug test and background check Also no permit for construction in the South which means likely a state run by the anti-regulation party. Who would have thunk it
I agree with you on the drug test background checks. I have had to get police checks and pre employment drug checks as well as medicals etc for every job I have had for decades. But in the US you could be a Senator, POTUS etc without any so not to difficult to believe
I'm so concerned that the Electricity board has not replaced the fuse box, where the wires are all burnt out. We were supposed to give a handwritten letter requesting a new one and WE DID, TWO WEEKS AGO. I called them and a couple of guys came to check it. They just removed the fuse, told me I didn't know anything and went on their way. A local electrician has set up a tape and sticks kinda solution but it won't last for long. I have spent so many days in this sweltering heat. The electricity board people keep telling me that they'll do their job and not get in a huff over it and just do my job. I'm at my wit's end. At this point I'm more concerned that there might be an electrical fire than a lack of electricity. What do I do
About the 2nd story. I work in AC, yup, red flag, what they did is actually illegal, if the system is still leaking gas, that's an environmental hazard, as well as a potential work hazard. But I disagree with the notion of the OP stating "That's like putting gas in a diesel motor, they'd have to change the whole system." Not exactly, R-410a is actually a direct substitute of R-22. Little Background: By the Protocols of Montreal, signers had to "eliminate" products that are bad for the o-zone layer, United States is a signer of the Protocol. R-22 has chlorine, chlorine is very bad for the o-zone layer. My timelines here could be a little off so I apologize in advance. In 1999 it was decided to stop producing R-22, 2004 it was decided to prohibit the sale of equipment that utilized R-22 but you could still utilize R-22 if it meant for repairs, 2010 they banned the sale of R-22 altogether, 2015 they completely banned the R-22 from the market, equipment could no longer be repaired if it meant charging the system with R-22, and any R-22 recovered had to be sent away to be legally "put-down". Granted, 410A could work roughly at the same pressures as R-22, as it's also a direct substitute for R-22. So the notion of changing R-22 for R-410a is actually fine, but ductaping and WD-40 is actually insulting, if you reported it, AC repairmen could be in DEEP trouble, considering countries aren't messing around with environmental hazards such as that.
people need to report there employers when they start breaking the law, when I worked at maccies, we were anonomously reporting them whenever they did illegal shit
All these folks saying OP of the first story should've said something earlier, and I'm just sitting here like, Oh yeah, and what good would it have done? There's no exact timeframe given for when they noticed certain things or got their paperwork proof. The only thing they really could've done from the get go was a report for sanitation practices, and given the kinda pigsties I've seen that're still open, without the evidence OP had managed to gather over those years of even that one thing, the dude would've gotten a slap on the wrist. People came in for YEARS and would mention the freezer, and he'd tell them "oh yeah I'm getting it fixed soon," but none of them ever seemed to notice, "Huh, this was broken last time, but he said he was gonna get it fixed, so why isn't it fixed?" All that would've happened would be that OP and their partner would've ended up on the streets. Not to mention, if you call it out too early, it's stupid easy for these kinds of people to turn it around on you, take it from someone who lived with that kind of narcissist and got blamed and in trouble for a lot of crap I had no hand in.
I dont live in the USA but 7.5usd per hour according to google. they needed a 1.5x pay for what they where earning.11.25usd. 20 hours a week. 11x20= 220 a WEEK. 50 hours (presuming they got time off) 220x50= 11000. 11,000 x 6 is likely 66000.
You did the wrong calc. Its 40(7.25) + 20(11.63) multiply by 5, then multiply by 52. It comes out to 135,876 assuming no taxes, unpaid days off, unpaid breaks or holidays working 5 days a week for an entire year.
Ah, r/ProRevenge. The place where bad bosses get destroyed, cheaters get karma and justice is served in the most cruel and satisfying way. The only stories better than these are the ones from r/Treelaw. May we have some soon?
OP not getting any back pay makes me doubt their story. If other employees automatically got checks mailed to them for back pay after the investigation, she would have gotten one too. The state wouldn't have made her go pick up her check and automatically mailed other employees theirs?????
Op definitely should have still gotten a check for their unpaid overtime. I had it happen to me before and I got my check well after I quit. Not nearly as much as it should have been, bc my boss continued to lie to the labor department and one of the bartenders liked to clock me out bc I reported him for giving alcohol to a minor but still, I got a decent check in the mail
The OP going through all that for 6yrs, I actually feel she's disgusting.. She didn't do ANYTHING even though she said she had all that evidence for years.. She didn't care that the others didn't get paid as long as she did.. She cared about herself.. She turned him when, HER WORDS, when SHE had enough.. Horrible person if you ask me..
This is super relatable even from a simple bottom tier employee perspective, i worked under the largest franchise owner in the company for Honey Baked Ham, similar neglected maintenance issues, and attitude about everything. i remember having an ancient coke machine that i had t constantly empty a plastic tub kept underneath it for leaking water, during our remodel, i witnessed him respond to the maintenance guy that the machine needed to be replaced, and he replied "What's wrong with it!?" I also remember him making up insane BS to keep good employees like myself or my boss, like when it was officially time for me to quit working at his store and under his franchise because i was moving out of town he had her tell me that i could not transfer and it would be illegal to work in a corporate owned store until after 6 months, they just so happen to take me and my experience in with open arms. I am soo happy i no longer work for either now and i am at a place that believes in paying its employees a living wage of $15 an hour! but with all my bottom of the barrel experiences of struggling over the years, i could never imagine a place existing THAT out of line, im soo happy that OP not only got revenge but did the right thing
Fire Marshalls hold so much power due to life safety. The theory is that there is no reasonable excuse to allow unsafe commercial buildings to be occupied.
I work in Japan in a school without any air conditioning in the classrooms. Now, if you know even the slightest but about the climate in Japan, you should know that the summers here are extremely hot and humid. I'm talking 90+ degrees with 80+ humidity. Soooooo the way the guy was complaining about not having AC was just making me laugh my ass off. Not because I don't think he deserves AC, but just because I can't believe how normalized having no ACs in schools is here, in a country where I see news reports every year about people dying of heat stroke.
7:34 Sorry to do this to you guys but Im'ma pull back the veil for you all. The three "disgusting" things that OP listed are completely reasonable in a restaurant setting... honestly I'd go so far as to say all three are ideal solutions when you're in a restaurant setting. I mean lets be real here, in each of these situations what other options do you have? Lets say you just opened up a case of romaine lettuce and all of the leaf tips are brown (which is actually somewhat common tbh. If I had to put a number on it I'd say ~1 in 5 boxes). Now you can either throw it out or sell it. Id also like to mention that the restaurant had to spend ~40$ to get that case of lettuce in. Now you may think that you'd need to make $40 to break even...but what about the cook's wage? how about the electricity that keeps the cooler cold? Or the water bill so you can wash them?... and so on. Starting to see the issue? Now the money aspect is important but there's few other points I wanna cover. Why do lettuce leaves turn brown? It's cuz the lettuce has started to oxidize (aka the lettuce is rusting). It's not like the lettuce has begun to rot, hell if you didn't actually see the spots and just started eating there's basically a 0% chance you'd notice (the flavor & texture is a tiny bit off, but man it's subtle). Can those brown spots contaminat the rest of the letting? Yeah, but it's nothing to sweat over. If you get some rusty lettuce in with the good stuff then the whole bin will rust substantially quicker. Thing is that if you use a knife to cut up your lettuce then you've got nothing to worry about: the metal of the knife acts as a nucleation site your lettuce to rust. So yeah, not exactly something to worry about. And lastly I just wanna point out that lettuce is a high volume product. You will be going through a lot of it, and it's also got a massive return value. I think a nice casino analogy would help: the drinks at a casino are usually free which I'd equate to menu items like steak as they are both something people want and are usually "sold" for a net loss. Lettuce would have a lot more in common the VLTs, a small investment for the company that gets marked up 500-1000%, and thats what you really make your money from. oh yeah, I guess I should mention that I've been a "professional" in the culinary world for 13 years now 🤣. I guess I should also mention I started counting from when I got my first competitive gold metal, I've only had my seal for 8 years 🤘
The OP who didn’t check about their back pay, should reach out to the state. Sometimes in lawsuits they will take the money owed but not issue the checks unless someone asks about it. My husband had been let go and his severance check didn’t have his overtime owed when the company he worked for got shut down. This was years later but he still reached out to the state just to see. A check arrived in the mail months later. Sometimes it pays to just ask.
5:37 They have to be in another country, for America, that math at federal minimum wage works out to 41k a year for their household. Plenty to not live paycheck to paycheck. (Especially considering they have no free time to use it) Edit: R/ is right, they must have not been getting paid. So over 6 years they should have earned A QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS She earned 125k during that so assuming she got half of what she earned, like she suggested, she is owed 62.6k!! Like, I said Federal minimum wage, this is could be a lot more.
I call bullshit no one and I mean no one who is owed tens of thousands of dollars just let's it go living hand to mouth and struggling I can believe the stores were shit but leaving money on the table and taking that much abuse and letting all that go for years she was complacent in that regard so I don't believe the story on those grounds.
In 1933, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt issued a statement that said in part: "In my Inaugural I laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living." If taxpayers believe a minimum wage is something where 2 people working 60 hrs a week can barely keep a roof over their heads, then taxpayers deserve moldy bread, lettuce gone bad, and poor service. It's what they're paying for.
The story about the AC just made me laugh. "It was nearly 80 degrees" oh boo hoo. It frequently gets over 8F during the summer and sometimes up to 95F. And we have to just deal with it.
"At first it was a perfectly reasonable job." Yep. That's how the parasite class does it. It's to sort of set an anchor they can tie gaslighting to later on.
U/WARRIOR_WHITE basically worked for the real-life Mr. Krabs. I can't decide if OP is Squidward, Spongebob, or their love child? Good on OP for getting her boss's ass set on fire.
I've no doubt listened to this one last year and commented on it. Well here's another one as I can't remember if I had or not. That story about sandwich shop owner who had other businesses on the go, sounds all to familiar to an owner in the town near me and who also had a foot hold in another city in the county. The guy would buy premises, do them up and they were good niches on the front. But after a while they would fall apart and close. These places were mostly pubs and an international beer shop. A nightclub/cocktail bar he had, I got talking to one of the bar staff there and they told me that he wasn't paying his staff and those in the other city took him to court for it. Then I found out that he would open businesses under other names from his family, which he also ran into the ground and the city council let him do this. Something tells me that he may know or is close to someone in the council and could be coincidence that the nightclub got developed into student housing soon after its closure. Everyone in the local pub trade hates him for being slimy and his bad business practises.
Someone needs to speak to these people and tell them that you are legally allowed to apply for jobs while still employed at your current job. Holy shit.
I'm an apprentice for my local chapter of the international union of operating engineers (we deal with HVAC for big machine rooms in buildings here in NYC). My teacher, the chief over at Citi Field, told us during class last year about someone he knew doing this exact thing and about how absolutely dumb it was. Cost the building a CRAZY amount in damages and replacing stuff. He was just glad nobody got hurt because basically at all times when that thing is running with the wrong refrigerant in it that there's a chance something can just explode from pressures that it wasn't designed for. Don't ever, EVER do what those guys did.
Listening to rSlash while I take a shower is so relaxing and I love hearing the stories, I enjoy his content and he inspires me to be a RUclipsr. Thank you rSlash for being a great inspiration
"Changed the refrigerant from r22 to r410a" No comment on how fast the change took place. But changing to 410a is 100% legit. 410a was developed as a replacement for r22, which is not sold or imported into or within the U.S. because of its devastating effects on the ozone layer. It is the fact that they didn't already change it out that raises red flags. Red flags that are also on fire.
Gotta love it: I stood by while my boss was violating health rules. I was getting paid enough. I stood by while my boss screwed over fellow employees. I was being paid enough. Boss did me dirty so I reported it all. Hypocrisy is great.
Even if OP in the first didn't stick around, she still should've been mailed a check for the unpaid overtime. Same with anyone who ever worked for him and got hours cut. Shouldn't matter if they still work there or not.
OP didn't even get their last paycheque? Something doesn't seem right there.
The money would be sorted and dealt by the government tax branches.
Yeah I noticed this, too. In fact if OP’s boss can’t prove they did mail out the last check then not only do they still OP that last check, as well as all the unpaid overtime, but he also owes OP big time for being late on the last paycheck. Some states you only have like 48hrs and every day after incurs additional fees
they might have been paid and just didn't want to say it?
It sounds like the job I had for 711, in three different states, these owners closed down there sub shops, and opened 711 stores and gas stations.
Well they did mention that former employees got paychecks for money missed
I'm upset with OP in the first story. How can you NOT get your backpay? 5 years torment like that i'd squeeze out every penny from that horrible boss
I guess there’s 2 possibly reasons, to scared, or doesn’t think they have enough for it to work, but totally agree with you
Probs bc they said themselves that they have to live paycheck to paycheck?
Finding a probono lawyer is not as easy as it sounds by what I noticed with other stories.

Glad his content is helping you. It may seem impossible to overcome, but if you remain vigilant, you’d be surprised how much progress you can make.
Thanks guys ❤️ I have days that still aren’t perfect of course, but it’s genuinely night and day now. I got my life back. I hope he does see this so he knows his true impact.
@@kelsi4813 It's okay and if anything normal to have bad days, congratulations on your progress :)
My therapist has had me purposefully pair things I enjoy doing with things I struggle with. Like watching rslash while I do the dishes. Good on you figuring the technique out for yourself! I have found it very helpful to set myself up with good routines so that things get done without me thinking about them very much because I'm just pushing through my routine. Best wishes to you and yours, and don't be afraid to get help if you need it. It's out there, sometimes you have to look pretty hard, but it's out there.
Boss: "You don't tell anything unless I give you permission next time!"
OP: "Okay." *Ignores all his crap, and reports his ass*
Boss: *Surprised Pikachu Face*
Landlord: has an unfinished building not up to code, without a permit
City "you have to fix this"
Landlord "let me get my lawyer"
Fire marshal "LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING"
I really wish there was another break in or something, just so OP could say to the cops "My boss says I can't tell anything to you unless he gives me permission."

I'm convinced that "for tax purposes" is just code for "stuff that should be illegal, and probably is"
I mean what that guy was doing was illegal, but what others do isn't illegal in order to avoid paying insane taxes.
Usually it actually *is* for tax purposes, it just so happens that lying or cheating your way out of taxes is supposedly illegal (billionaires don’t apply for some reason but that’s for congress to work out)
That's really a bold move.
Joker are afraid of IRS and he still do that?
@@smartaleckduck4135 yeah, they’ve been shrinking the IRS budget and staffing for years. Last I knew, 45 had made it so there were only like 2,200 employees? which is about the same it was in the 1950s so if billionaires just don’t pay, there’s no one to audit them

Put customers' lives at risk for years: no problem worth reporting
Yell at OP: now it's time to report
yea everyone just jumps to OPs side and congratulates her for being so brave and stunning while ignoring the fact that she let this go on for years, helped cover her boss's illegal activities, helped screw over her coworkers, probably gave food poisoning to her customers for years...
sure she ain't as bad as the boss but that doesn't mean she's a good person or the hero of the story.
@@theswedishdude1 I'm pretty sure she admitted that herself and accepted responsibility. Also, she mentioned not really knowing just how illegal everything the boss was doing was and that makes me think she was probably really young when she started working for him. Plus, her desperation for a job didn't help because hungry people make poor shoppers. Not saying she shouldn't have reported earlier (she should have) but I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt in this case as she seems genuinely remorseful for not doing it sooner. I will also mention that if OP is in America then it might have been harder to leave/report due to how the country runs businesses and the lack of good unions (there are some but they're pretty demonized despite being there to protect workers from shit like what OP's ex boss did). We also have to take retaliation into account because OP would definitely have suffered from that if the boss had ever found out.
OP definitely SHOULD have spoken up. However, the system is rigged against that. If she had spoken up too soon, he'd have gotten away with it due to the lack of paperwork. It wouldn't have been as severe. Also what protections are there for OP when retaliation happens? The man's spouse is STILL RUNNING. His direct family is still operational, and likely connected to his bank. if there truly was a good system, she'd be barred as long as she's married to him due to the risks. He was barely punished in the grand scheme of things. He isn't suffering.
@@Blackdragon99omfg An anonymous tip to a health inspector and a surprise inspection might have been enough. There were already violations. The wages would be different. OP was inexperienced and still learning, though.
@@theswedishdude1 In America, poor people don't have the luxury to report rich criminals most of the time. Especially if the rich criminal in question is the one dropping pennies in your outstretched hand. What gave OP the courage to stand up and do something wasn't the build-up of time, it was the hint of a financial safety net. Remember, OP's folks said they'd cover rent for a while; AND the OP had managed to scrape together roughly three months of bills money. If it weren't for the safety net, OP could've wound up in debt or homeless by reporting everything. People who can barely afford a decent meal and a roof don't have the wiggle room to bargain on their paycheck.
When she didn’t go back for her unpaid hours, it hurt my soul
20 hours for 6 years? Thats a LONG time without pay
That's what makes me think there's some BS to that story. No one living "hand to mouth" as she put it would walk away from a payday like that.
@@bradleyj.fortner2203
Trust me when I say, she probably had her own reason (that she didn't list) about why she would walk away from that. She just didn't want the money. She did it for the other people who were working under him.
Sometimes when you are young and already heavily devalued in society, you just want to move on and get away from the bad things that you didn't know was bad until you are too far in. If she is really owed backpay, it'll come to her in a different way I'm sure. Especially if she lives in the USA (I'm assuming because of the mention of OSHA). I got fired from a job and sometime after that they were under investigation for not paying what they owed, so I got backpay in the form of a treasury note.
@@jamielarsen3749 Maybe but depending how long ago that was i wouldnt hope for it.
I can’t believe OP didn’t even go back for her final paycheck.
I can see her pov. She'd caused him so much grief, she didn't want to profit from it as well.
@@wessexdruid5290 she's an idiot then, profiting off others suffering the sweetest type of revenge and money

For the last story:
Op: -~calls building inspector~
Building inspector: Hold up. Let me get someone else. ~calls the fire Marshall~
Fire Marshall, arrives: I'm about to end this whole man's career.
that’s actually what’s done, building inspectors handle the buildings except the fire suppression systems. fire marshal handle the sprinklers, alarms, fire escapes, entrances and exits, and standpipes(those bright red hose connections to the building and inside).
they can literally close an entire building complex if they aren’t satisfied, and do so until they’re satisfied and not a damn thing can be done by anyone without a court order!
When you described the store with the terrible sanitary practices, I was imagining Gordon Ramsey walking through there yelling at everyone ^.^
I sure am glad he got what was coming to him.
Yep, me too. Now THAT would have been a good episode!
Yep. Sounded exactly like a kitchen nightmares candidate described by an employee. Would have served that owner right to get ripped a new one by Gordon. But honestly this guy seemed to be beyond rescue even for Gordon.
Remember, wage theft is literally the most lucrative crime in America by a mile, don't let employers get away with it.
No, no honey. The first red flag is that they hired you on the spot.
nah sometimes they don't want to have 2 months of interviews for minimal wage
That ain't a ref flag.
The best job I ever had with the best boss I ever had I got the job on the spot
Getting hired on the spot is not an instant red flag
I was hired on the spot for Domino’s. Sure the job sucked, I worked more than legally allowed in one shift for a minor, and literally no one got breaks, but they were so short on staff that it made sense. This was also at the beginning of May 2021.
Land lord's building isn't up to fire code
The fire marshal: LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING!!
that you, Bill? 🤣
"And he called the fire marshal"
GAME OVER!
It seems RSlash forgot about TreeLaw or NuclearRevenge :(
Revenge!
Forgot about r/treelaw, great sub
Nuclear revenge has sort of been put on the back burner, since so many teens trying to be edgy were making up obviously fake stories. As for TreeLaw, there's just not that many full stories with updates on there. It hurts, because I love watching idiots pay through the nose like they just took a cheap drink in some Tijuana bar with a girl who looks like they should be paying for it, only to wake up in a bathroom minus a liver and a couple kidneys.
@@jeremiahcannon6214 man TreeLaw is the best :( I enjoy hearing about some pesky stubborn neighbour only to end up slapped in the face with a trunk

antonio conte in the thumbnail: he's a succesful soccer (football) coach, he's also known for getting very heated during matches.
it's so funny to me you chose him for showing "a pissed guy" 🤣🤣
so OP had no problem with screwing over her coworkers, helped boss cover illegal activities or giving her customers food poisoning for years but when the boss yelled at her then it was time to shut him down...
OP isn't as bad as the boss but she sure as shit ain't the good guy in this story.
Uh did you not see where she said she wasn't comfortable with *ANY OF THE BOSSES PRACTICES ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME TO MESSING WITH HER COWORKERS TIME!?!?!?!?!*
@@strudel_reviews yet she went along with it for YEARS. it's one thing to be uncomfortable and then make it right but to do it for that long and not do anything until he yells at you is selfish and disgusting.

Boss: *tells every illegal thing he did*
OP: *reports it*
Boss: *suprised pikachu face*
OP needs to follow up on that unpaid OT
Hell Yesh . That is a lot of money
I absolutely agree with you. That amount of money would make huge difference in OP’s life. If anything it could help with paying off any debt, be used as a rainy day fund, or put into investing for retirement.
that’s because she made it all up
@@bostonrailfan2427 do you have any proof of that
First story : OP, I’m glad you’re in a better place now… but, like Rslash said, I wish you had gotten your back pay… you are owed that money, after all it’s rightfully yours!
The first story reminded me a story of a well known sub shop in my old shopping center. I was a business neighbor. I had friends from that shop. One of the old managers was just like the owner except he was a sleaze ball. My close friend and former fellow manager was fired for no reason. I knew him from his old job.
I haven’t watched one of these in a while and i must say r slash you have mastered the art of never ever changing
The fire marshals are like:
“Ayo, we don’t want your house to turn into a knock-off version of the fire of London”🤣
I worked for the Fire Commissioner for a state in which I no longer live, for 30 years. All those building permits and the Certificate of Occupancy that are required, are required for a reason. If that building had a C of O, it was either a forgery or issued fraudulently or was for the building as originally built. Once any modifications were made, other than strictly cosmetic, the old C of O was no longer valid for the areas where changes were being made. That is why you NEED Building Permits and City, County or State inspections. Do not screw with the Fire Commissioner or any office that reports to them = you WILL get burned!
Love the new sound setup! Everything sounds great. 👍🏼
Yea
OP isn’t a saint either. Literally KNEW what the boss/owner was doing for YEARS and only did something when he got mad for being yelled at 🙄
So he never thought about the countless people eating expired and disgusting food?
They’re just like the person who literally saw a coworker spit in someone’s food and didn’t say anything until the end of the shift and went to the manager.
If this was AITA, I'd give her 1-1.5. As a manager, it's her duty to keep things safe, even if the higher-ups say no.
To be honest OP and her old boss are the reason why so many people get sick from eating out.I understand if you really need a job but OP is almost as bad as the owner. He probably caused a lot of people to get sick and this place is probably subway.
@@azisles02 not quite true, a manager's job is to make sure the boss's wishes are acted upon.
If the boss wants to serve shitty food, that's their problem.
Now, keep in mind I'm not saying this from a moral stance, just an economic one.
Daily reminder that you are loved and appreciated even if you don’t know it
LOL, when people learn. If you treat people like garbage, eventually it very likely will come back on you.

When it comes to condemning buildings, Fire Marshall Bill is a GOD
first story, just because some places "could" be handled by one person, doesn't mean they should, anything could happen...
I'm imagining Fire Marshal Bill torching that building.
With dramatic tone "Fire Marshalls are gods!!" True dat
You know it's good when you're halfway through the video and the story still isn't done. This is awesome.
80 degrees sweltering? Oh honey…..OP don’t even know.
As someone who is going to school to be health inspector im terrified
For the first story, you can tell that OP's boss is literally squeezing out as much money out of his employees and store items so he could get more money in his pocket in the fallout.
The one thing I've learned from watching RSlash is if anyone (especially entitled jerks) comes from money, there's a good chance that they're gonna do anything to get more money in their pocket. Whether that be from child support, having a monthly money payment from parents, having a job or smooching off of their partners.
It makes me so happy how Rslashs fans are so active and make cute little comments to hype him and his content up. I watch these everyday and it’s a part of my daily routine and it’s really cool to see other people have this routine too. You guys are cool
first story: I wonder why OP's expenses were so high, that with OP working as an area manager and spouse working long shifts, they had barely any savings and were like one step away from homelessness
Depends on the area and being dumb with budgeting/ horrible spending habits. We just get a small slice why this and that etc.
They could be in a city with a high cost of living or something like New York or Toronto.
I worked as a manager at a pizza place in college and still only made $1.25 above minimum wage. Just because OP was a manager doesn’t mean she was making significant money. It was probably barely more than minimum.
@@Annie_Annie__ OP themselves said 1.5x above minimum wage, that's almost nothing... They were making roughly $1700 a month, working 40h a week paid...
Depending on where OP lived, that is barely enough for rent and bills =/
Edit: Also, there is no mention of kids, so that might be another expense they are not mentioning.
OP was with the sub company for 6 years, not 5(interestingly the same amount of time I was at my first job, also a sub company, except my boss was awesome). They probably let their coworkers suffer that long to have a good pile of evidence.
The first red flag should have been being hired on the spot. What kind of company hires without doing a drug test and background check
Also no permit for construction in the South which means likely a state run by the anti-regulation party. Who would have thunk it
I agree with you on the drug test background checks. I have had to get police checks and pre employment drug checks as well as medicals etc for every job I have had for decades. But in the US you could be a Senator, POTUS etc without any so not to difficult to believe
Despite all the bad things the boss did, I hope he did get his head screwed on right.
I'm so concerned that the Electricity board has not replaced the fuse box, where the wires are all burnt out. We were supposed to give a handwritten letter requesting a new one and WE DID, TWO WEEKS AGO. I called them and a couple of guys came to check it. They just removed the fuse, told me I didn't know anything and went on their way. A local electrician has set up a tape and sticks kinda solution but it won't last for long. I have spent so many days in this sweltering heat. The electricity board people keep telling me that they'll do their job and not get in a huff over it and just do my job. I'm at my wit's end. At this point I'm more concerned that there might be an electrical fire than a lack of electricity.
What do I do
rSlash: Buildings will catch on fire and that would be bad. The rest of us: Uh, what about all the workers who will die? Are they chopped liver?
Good morning everyone! Hope you all have a great day! For those of you not doing great right now, I hope you feel better soon. ❤
About the 2nd story. I work in AC, yup, red flag, what they did is actually illegal, if the system is still leaking gas, that's an environmental hazard, as well as a potential work hazard. But I disagree with the notion of the OP stating "That's like putting gas in a diesel motor, they'd have to change the whole system." Not exactly, R-410a is actually a direct substitute of R-22.
Little Background: By the Protocols of Montreal, signers had to "eliminate" products that are bad for the o-zone layer, United States is a signer of the Protocol. R-22 has chlorine, chlorine is very bad for the o-zone layer. My timelines here could be a little off so I apologize in advance. In 1999 it was decided to stop producing R-22, 2004 it was decided to prohibit the sale of equipment that utilized R-22 but you could still utilize R-22 if it meant for repairs, 2010 they banned the sale of R-22 altogether, 2015 they completely banned the R-22 from the market, equipment could no longer be repaired if it meant charging the system with R-22, and any R-22 recovered had to be sent away to be legally "put-down". Granted, 410A could work roughly at the same pressures as R-22, as it's also a direct substitute for R-22. So the notion of changing R-22 for R-410a is actually fine, but ductaping and WD-40 is actually insulting, if you reported it, AC repairmen could be in DEEP trouble, considering countries aren't messing around with environmental hazards such as that.
people need to report there employers when they start breaking the law, when I worked at maccies, we were anonomously reporting them whenever they did illegal shit
All these folks saying OP of the first story should've said something earlier, and I'm just sitting here like, Oh yeah, and what good would it have done? There's no exact timeframe given for when they noticed certain things or got their paperwork proof. The only thing they really could've done from the get go was a report for sanitation practices, and given the kinda pigsties I've seen that're still open, without the evidence OP had managed to gather over those years of even that one thing, the dude would've gotten a slap on the wrist. People came in for YEARS and would mention the freezer, and he'd tell them "oh yeah I'm getting it fixed soon," but none of them ever seemed to notice, "Huh, this was broken last time, but he said he was gonna get it fixed, so why isn't it fixed?" All that would've happened would be that OP and their partner would've ended up on the streets. Not to mention, if you call it out too early, it's stupid easy for these kinds of people to turn it around on you, take it from someone who lived with that kind of narcissist and got blamed and in trouble for a lot of crap I had no hand in.

I dont live in the USA but 7.5usd per hour according to google.
they needed a 1.5x pay for what they where earning.11.25usd.
20 hours a week. 11x20= 220 a WEEK. 50 hours (presuming they got time off)
220x50= 11000.
11,000 x 6 is likely 66000.
You did the wrong calc. Its 40(7.25) + 20(11.63) multiply by 5, then multiply by 52. It comes out to 135,876 assuming no taxes, unpaid days off, unpaid breaks or holidays working 5 days a week for an entire year.

@@stefantsarev4442 I know
OP not getting any back pay makes me doubt their story. If other employees automatically got checks mailed to them for back pay after the investigation, she would have gotten one too. The state wouldn't have made her go pick up her check and automatically mailed other employees theirs?????
"80 degrees" "sweltering" lol
The Fire Marshal saying is very true, fire safety is no joke. You befriend the good ones and you're basically feared. It's AWESOME.
Op definitely should have still gotten a check for their unpaid overtime. I had it happen to me before and I got my check well after I quit. Not nearly as much as it should have been, bc my boss continued to lie to the labor department and one of the bartenders liked to clock me out bc I reported him for giving alcohol to a minor but still, I got a decent check in the mail

The OP going through all that for 6yrs, I actually feel she's disgusting.. She didn't do ANYTHING even though she said she had all that evidence for years.. She didn't care that the others didn't get paid as long as she did.. She cared about herself.. She turned him when, HER WORDS, when SHE had enough.. Horrible person if you ask me..
You're disgusting for judging she was literally in a situation if she left or lost her job she would've been homeless
My favourite stories for morning coffee :)
This is super relatable even from a simple bottom tier employee perspective, i worked under the largest franchise owner in the company for Honey Baked Ham, similar neglected maintenance issues, and attitude about everything. i remember having an ancient coke machine that i had t constantly empty a plastic tub kept underneath it for leaking water, during our remodel, i witnessed him respond to the maintenance guy that the machine needed to be replaced, and he replied "What's wrong with it!?" I also remember him making up insane BS to keep good employees like myself or my boss, like when it was officially time for me to quit working at his store and under his franchise because i was moving out of town he had her tell me that i could not transfer and it would be illegal to work in a corporate owned store until after 6 months, they just so happen to take me and my experience in with open arms. I am soo happy i no longer work for either now and i am at a place that believes in paying its employees a living wage of $15 an hour! but with all my bottom of the barrel experiences of struggling over the years, i could never imagine a place existing THAT out of line, im soo happy that OP not only got revenge but did the right thing
Me right now because rslash posted💃💃💃💃💃💃
Can we just talk about how that cheapskate boss is literally Mr. Krabs?
Fire Marshalls hold so much power due to life safety. The theory is that there is no reasonable excuse to allow unsafe commercial buildings to be occupied.
I work in Japan in a school without any air conditioning in the classrooms. Now, if you know even the slightest but about the climate in Japan, you should know that the summers here are extremely hot and humid. I'm talking 90+ degrees with 80+ humidity. Soooooo the way the guy was complaining about not having AC was just making me laugh my ass off. Not because I don't think he deserves AC, but just because I can't believe how normalized having no ACs in schools is here, in a country where I see news reports every year about people dying of heat stroke.
7:34
Sorry to do this to you guys but Im'ma pull back the veil for you all. The three "disgusting" things that OP listed are completely reasonable in a restaurant setting... honestly I'd go so far as to say all three are ideal solutions when you're in a restaurant setting.
I mean lets be real here, in each of these situations what other options do you have? Lets say you just opened up a case of romaine lettuce and all of the leaf tips are brown (which is actually somewhat common tbh. If I had to put a number on it I'd say ~1 in 5 boxes).
Now you can either throw it out or sell it. Id also like to mention that the restaurant had to spend ~40$ to get that case of lettuce in. Now you may think that you'd need to make $40 to break even...but what about the cook's wage? how about the electricity that keeps the cooler cold? Or the water bill so you can wash them?... and so on. Starting to see the issue?
Now the money aspect is important but there's few other points I wanna cover.
Why do lettuce leaves turn brown?
It's cuz the lettuce has started to oxidize (aka the lettuce is rusting). It's not like the lettuce has begun to rot, hell if you didn't actually see the spots and just started eating there's basically a 0% chance you'd notice (the flavor & texture is a tiny bit off, but man it's subtle).
Can those brown spots contaminat the rest of the letting?
Yeah, but it's nothing to sweat over. If you get some rusty lettuce in with the good stuff then the whole bin will rust substantially quicker. Thing is that if you use a knife to cut up your lettuce then you've got nothing to worry about: the metal of the knife acts as a nucleation site your lettuce to rust. So yeah, not exactly something to worry about.
And lastly I just wanna point out that lettuce is a high volume product. You will be going through a lot of it, and it's also got a massive return value. I think a nice casino analogy would help: the drinks at a casino are usually free which I'd equate to menu items like steak as they are both something people want and are usually "sold" for a net loss. Lettuce would have a lot more in common the VLTs, a small investment for the company that gets marked up 500-1000%, and thats what you really make your money from.
oh yeah, I guess I should mention that I've been a "professional" in the culinary world for 13 years now 🤣. I guess I should also mention I started counting from when I got my first competitive gold metal, I've only had my seal for 8 years 🤘
The OP who didn’t check about their back pay, should reach out to the state. Sometimes in lawsuits they will take the money owed but not issue the checks unless someone asks about it. My husband had been let go and his severance check didn’t have his overtime owed when the company he worked for got shut down. This was years later but he still reached out to the state just to see. A check arrived in the mail months later. Sometimes it pays to just ask.
Thank you rslash for being here for us. Listening to these stories is what gets me through the school day.

5:37 They have to be in another country, for America, that math at federal minimum wage works out to 41k a year for their household. Plenty to not live paycheck to paycheck. (Especially considering they have no free time to use it)
Edit: R/ is right, they must have not been getting paid. So over 6 years they should have earned
A QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS
She earned 125k during that so assuming she got half of what she earned, like she suggested, she is owed 62.6k!!
Like, I said Federal minimum wage, this is could be a lot more.
I call bullshit no one and I mean no one who is owed tens of thousands of dollars just let's it go living hand to mouth and struggling I can believe the stores were shit but leaving money on the table and taking that much abuse and letting all that go for years she was complacent in that regard so I don't believe the story on those grounds.
In 1933, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt issued a statement that said in part:
"In my Inaugural I laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living."
If taxpayers believe a minimum wage is something where 2 people working 60 hrs a week can barely keep a roof over their heads, then taxpayers deserve moldy bread, lettuce gone bad, and poor service. It's what they're paying for.
That first one is subway I bet you
The story about the AC just made me laugh. "It was nearly 80 degrees" oh boo hoo. It frequently gets over 8F during the summer and sometimes up to 95F. And we have to just deal with it.
4:43 you can hear both "penny pincher" and "pinny pencher". weird!!!
Uploading very single day was the best thing I've heard from you.
"At first it was a perfectly reasonable job." Yep. That's how the parasite class does it. It's to sort of set an anchor they can tie gaslighting to later on.

U/WARRIOR_WHITE basically worked for the real-life Mr. Krabs. I can't decide if OP is Squidward, Spongebob, or their love child?
Good on OP for getting her boss's ass set on fire.
OP should definitely look into getting compensated for her hours. I think they still can.
I can really relate the first story. How op gets stressed when using the bathroom when only 1 person is there. Very stressful
I've no doubt listened to this one last year and commented on it. Well here's another one as I can't remember if I had or not.
That story about sandwich shop owner who had other businesses on the go, sounds all to familiar to an owner in the town near me and who also had a foot hold in another city in the county. The guy would buy premises, do them up and they were good niches on the front. But after a while they would fall apart and close. These places were mostly pubs and an international beer shop. A nightclub/cocktail bar he had, I got talking to one of the bar staff there and they told me that he wasn't paying his staff and those in the other city took him to court for it. Then I found out that he would open businesses under other names from his family, which he also ran into the ground and the city council let him do this. Something tells me that he may know or is close to someone in the council and could be coincidence that the nightclub got developed into student housing soon after its closure. Everyone in the local pub trade hates him for being slimy and his bad business practises.
My dad used to work as maintenance for a bunch of schools and he has told so many stories about the fire marshal!
Someone needs to speak to these people and tell them that you are legally allowed to apply for jobs while still employed at your current job. Holy shit.
That first story makes me more unsurprised that I got food poisoning from Subway. It's not worth the risk imo :P
The longer I listened the more it sounds like my first job. The story is eerily similar
Today is my birthday. Thank you so much for consistently posting these awesome stories RSlash. You're the best!
I'm an apprentice for my local chapter of the international union of operating engineers (we deal with HVAC for big machine rooms in buildings here in NYC). My teacher, the chief over at Citi Field, told us during class last year about someone he knew doing this exact thing and about how absolutely dumb it was. Cost the building a CRAZY amount in damages and replacing stuff. He was just glad nobody got hurt because basically at all times when that thing is running with the wrong refrigerant in it that there's a chance something can just explode from pressures that it wasn't designed for. Don't ever, EVER do what those guys did.
Listening to rSlash while I take a shower is so relaxing and I love hearing the stories, I enjoy his content and he inspires me to be a RUclipsr. Thank you rSlash for being a great inspiration
"Changed the refrigerant from r22 to r410a"
No comment on how fast the change took place. But changing to 410a is 100% legit. 410a was developed as a replacement for r22, which is not sold or imported into or within the U.S. because of its devastating effects on the ozone layer. It is the fact that they didn't already change it out that raises red flags. Red flags that are also on fire.
When a code enforcer and a fire marshal work together it can get even better
I love listening to your videos while i get ready for work. Thank you for all the work you put in :) i really appreciate it!!
Gotta love it: I stood by while my boss was violating health rules. I was getting paid enough. I stood by while my boss screwed over fellow employees. I was being paid enough. Boss did me dirty so I reported it all. Hypocrisy is great.
