There was a bonus earned a few months back. The company never paid it and a couple weeks later, they made a video call to a select number of managers informing that the company had an accounting error and cannot afford this bonus payout that we earned. (Totally illegal, I consulted with a coworker whose husband is an attorney and I know how to read the Wage Act for my state).

A couple months later the president jumps on a Zoom call with nefarious intentions and when we brought up the bonus he exasperates saying [if you guys want it so bad, some one has to be let go] (for unrelated reason that had nothing to do with the bonus).

I spend a week interviewing. One week later, 2 hours before my shift I send the most beautiful resignation letter stating that I quit effective at the end of this working day. And that I look forward to our bonus being paid.

I emailed up the chain, my boss, her boss, bosses bosses boss etc. head of HR, head of Legal, head of Marketing, president, vice president, senior vice president, ceo, etc.

You get the picture. I filed a complaint with the Department of Labor as well. Now it’s one month later, bonus has not been paid and this company has not responded to my resignation/the concerns I expressed over the bully tactics, lack of accountability and toxic work environment they allow.
