Boss retaliates employee’s wage complaint with new rules, cameras, and strict policies aimed directly at them: ‘I gave so much of myself to this company for many years’ – FAIL Blog

The workplace becomes a stage for petty power plays, with new hires brought in to cater to the boss’s every whim. The employee who stood up for themselves is left documenting every slight, building a file for retaliation, knowing the road ahead could be long. The lesson is clear, advocate for yourself, be assertive, and never assume that loyalty will be rewarded. Sometimes the only way to get what’s owed is to fight for it, even if it means facing retaliation and isolation.
