In the comments, users shared stories of similar experiences they’ve had at their workplaces. A large chunk of people, though, encouraged @716cargirl to get financial restitution for the situation. 

“Stay clocked in y’all. That’s what they get for choosing profit over safety,” said one viewer.

“Don’t clock out. Happened to my dad at the post office, and had to sleep overnight. They tried not paying him, but he won,” wrote a second commenter. 

“#LAWSUIT,” said another user.

The Daily Dot reached out to @716cargirl via TikTok comment.
