This is especially true with landlords.
At least my corporate landlords have maintenance staff and mostly follow the law. No one I interact with at my corporate owned apartment would personally benefit by my AC not getting fixed, they work 9-5 and just do their jobs.
When I had a small landlord who just owned a condo she rented out, she fucking sucked. Any time something would break she’d try to fix it herself first and it took forever, she didn’t give proper warnings about needing to enter, shit like that.
All my worst employers were these. And they didn’t exactly excel at solidarity with covid, but sure expected it from everyone else. The erosion of safety measures was organized loudly by all the small gyms (glorified landlordism) and other such places, at least where I am from.
I had one actively stealing my checks to make me quit. Guess what I did?
I suppose they should be reported for stealing, but tax fraud (not a lawyer but this happened to a friend recently) because if you were employed by them they had to deduct that money, and if they kept your paychecks then they didn’t deduct tax money for an employee, and that’s lying to the IRS about financial information, which (again, not a lawyer) but sounds a lot like fraud
