My place of employment gave us $500 gift cards for Christmas. However mine seems to not register my purchases when I try to use it.
Do you think that it was done on purpose?
My employer is a bad company, they gave us fake cards that just have a few bucks on them to fool workers.
While it's always good to receive a bonus for the holidays from an employer, you should expect that the amount you received to be what is claimed. If your $500 gift card doesn't work because your employer did not actually load funds onto the card, then it is clear your employer is trying to cheat you. It's not worth the time and aggravation working for companies that try to cheat their employees and you should look for a position elsewhere so that you are treated better.
Fuck, don't you have anything else to say?
Yes. I think that if that is the truth, you should find another job. It is going to hurt you in the long run if you work for a company that cheats you out of pay.
