My company has really been stressing importance in saving money and has suggested all employees consider more efficient ways to improve productivity. I figured a great way to save the company money was to discover and then report illegal or unscrupulous activity in the workplace.
My first instinct was correct. For years, I suspected the toilet paper in the men’s room did not measure up with what the box stated. I measured several rolls of toilet paper and found they only had 200 sheets as opposed to the 320 sheets stated in the contract with the supplier.
My employer demanded the toilet paper vendor make things right and was awarded $28,100 for years of being deceived. My compensation for saving the company nearly $30,000? I was written up for not using my time productively. They said my job performance suffered during the time it took me the measure the toilet paper. What is this? What a slap in the face!!! Do I have a legal leg to stand on?
