I mean, unless there’s a big reward for turning them in and it’s enough to not have to worry about losing your job, then yeah go for it. But if they get shut down, and you lose your job, you’re kind of shooting yourself in the foot.

And when they don’t report it and people get sick? So they get shut down and lose their job and risk a law suit for negligence? Nah fam. Report them and apply at a local McDonald’s if push comes to shove.

I totally feel you and yeah, if it was me, I would have a hard time resisting the urge to do what’s right, but unfortunately, some people just aren’t in positions where they can afford to put anyone for themselves. OP would never risk a lawsuit over that the business would get sued, employees don’t have any liability for that. I would feel bad not reporting but if it meant, I might not be able to afford food that week, I couldn’t do it

You can always afford it, you just feel another job that would hire you on that notice would be below you

I also have to consider the other people who DEPEND on this job.

That’s is a very fair point to consider. I avoided reporting my old daycare job bc I knew 2 people who were incredibly desperate for it. One left, and the bitch I needed to report died, and my boss will get a report when the other person leaves later this year

Dude no you can’t always afford it. If I lost my job today I’d quite literally not be able to afford food or rent. Sure I can get hired somewhere else but it’ll be around 1 week turn around and then another 2 or 3 weeks before I get my first pay check and only if I get hours right away. You sound very privileged talking like living paycheck to paycheck is easy. Oh also, fuck off, don’t act like you know anything about me.

Oh damn that’s BAD BAD. Def start submitting applications elsewhere and call the health department for a “random check”
