Where are you getting this? I said I reported an employer whom I knew to be violating labor laws, and that if you know of any, you should too.
Because you keep putting the onus on the employee, not on the employer where it belongs. Would you still have reported it if it didn't affect you personally? Did you view your co-workers as less than because they didn't report it, maybe because they were afraid to, didn't know how to, or didn't have many opportunities to quit and move on like you did?

If I knew about it and had factual evidence of it? Sure, I'd report them. I have nothing to lose except for a few seconds to a minute by doing so.
No, I didn't view my co-workers as "less." I figured they were just content with the way things were.
If someone complained about not getting their earned OT pay, yet did nothing about it, (not even approaching management or HR) well, I do think that's pretty foolish. To each their own. If an employer is not paying me my earned income, I'm not going to work there.
This is veering way off topic. Use "uneducated" if you'd like. (Please do not take this as me equating education with intelligence)
My stance on this: Unless the employee is a 1099 employee, they are not entitled to a tip, as the employer is supposed to match minimum wage if their earnings fall below the threshold. Whether or not the employer abides by the law is a topic that belongs in a different thread.
Here, the driver was a 1099 (Uber.) As a person who depends solely on miles driven and tips for earnings, it behooves this person to deliver impeccable service. More often than not, a tip will be received. Often, a generous tip. Many people (such as myself) give a tip AFTER the service has been delivered, as how much I give depends largely on the quality of the service.
This person made an assumption that the "tip" received in the app was the final tip, and paid for it. Maybe it was, or maybe the customer was just waiting on the delivery to adjust the amount.
I meant to quote a link to his book. Quoted an article that used excerpts from his book instead. My mistake.
You quoted the sciencedaily.com article that has nothing to do with what you're trying to say

Was that also a mistake?
Yes. It was a mistake. And I acknowledged it. Without blaming anyone for it.
