I have been running a university market, within a food court, solo for the most part for 14 months. I have a BA and 10.5 years of experience. After I filed a wage audit within the company, that was escalated the the HR Business Partners, for nearly $5,000 in back pay, management called me into an 11th hour ambush meeting.

The GM told me my work is "amazing." Then he told me I "never follow anything through" and that my eye contact is "sketchy." He called me a "security risk" because I use smart glasses to keep track of my timers and QC photos since we aren't allowed to have phones or watches.

They just posted an entry level baker job for 0 to 1 years of experience paying up to $18.00. I am capped at $15.63. They expect me to train this new hire. They are negging my character to justify keeping me at a lower wage while they hire people with no credentials for more money.

I am quitting in July. I have 87 hours of vacation saved up. I am planning to file with the Department of Labor for time shaving I discovered (directors clocking people out for breaks they didn't take) and for the wage suppression.
