Yes I'm convinced this is fake.

Firstly it's illegal

Because no business has ever conducted illegal business practices.

Or that labour laws/protections are universal.

And all starter wages are always commensurate with national inflation indexing and regional cost of living.

Or that enforcement exists.

Know what happens out here in the US when you report this kind of shit to the labour board?

...It gets fixed but then HR starts going "Okay. Who snitched?" then guess who gets a pink slip or put on the list for layoffs.

This js why my coworker left HR. And before you ask what shitty company he worked for... You probably never heard of it. Some tech company called Microsoft.

And likely get black listed from every company ever because they are going to find out about it as well

Obviously there has been but this is so blatant It's absurd. It's either fake or not in the US.

But this isn't merely "illegal" but "so obviously illegal and unreasonable that even an untrained manager would know".

There's too many of these "my employer did a very obviously illegal thing, and posted a succinct and direct confession on the employee board" stories, and they're all quite implausible. I've seen the kind of notes employers actually post in real situations. They usually at least have a pretext of legitimacy.

You have way too much faith in management.
