I was told I never took as many customer phone calls as my co-workers. I said that I didn't receive as many calls as my co-workers. They said I was lying and repeatedly threatened me. About a year later, they come back saying, "Hey, your phone hasn't worked right all this time. Isn't that weird?" And, of course, there was never any attempt to apologize or undo any of those prior reprimands. As such, I've always questioned that cartoon dog's stated gender, because that beagle was a real bitch to work for.

In all seriousness, I'd rather live near the poverty level than put up with that kind of shit. Of course, I've also quit jobs in the past simply because I was tired of doing them and decided I'd rather be able to sleep longer, so I'm perhaps not the best person to ask.
