Let's share the worst things we've had to endure as employees. I'll go first:
Teenage, food service, pizza. The AC breaks in the middle of a California summer, easily 110°f outside, 115°f inside the store (verified), with 500°f open-ended ovens running nonstop. Then the makeline which holds ingredients breaks. The cheese melts into clumps. We stay open, business as usual. Also, no breaks, ever. Pay: $8.50/hr.
Adult, teaching, high school. No in-class heat for four years. School provides one basic 11" fan heater used to warm small bedrooms. My class ceilings are at least 12ft with tons of windows. I developed a routine of showing up an hour early, turning on the collection of heaters I'd acquired (including several from home), and get the room up to a sweltering 62°f by first period. I also figured out which electrical items can be plugged into which outlets and how to reset the fuse panel on a moments notice. I have photos of my students huddled around an oil-radiator with their hands out, eager for even a semblance of heat.
Your turn:
It's insane how the system gets away with wage theft, they figured out if you make contradictory company policies like saying you need to follow labor laws and also making middle manager's pay based on keeping labor costs low, you can wash your hands of wrongdoing and pin it all on the manager making $30k/year when they inevitably break the labor laws.
