My s.o. old employer tried to pull some shady shit with the employees during covid and the PUA benefits.

He took them off the clock, starting paying in cash, and said "well i know your getting PUA, so I'm giving you 3$ an hour".

Then he even tried to convince them that they'd actually OWE him money when all said and done LOL

I know. This dude is a scum bag. He runs for local office every cycle. He thinks everyone is out to get him, going so far as to believe people are sabotaging his restaurant, car, and house. (I wouldn't be surprised tbh the dude is a pos) He would sit down at random peoples tables while they were eating and spout the most hateful trumping bullshit like who tf are you and why you sitting with me?

The craziest part, to me, is that no one felt they had any recourse or choice. The workers NEED him and NEED that job.
