It sounds like the employees are the bottom level of some kind of scam. A company that has so little faith in itself that it forces their employees to act as customers is either on the verge of ruin or just completely unethical. They’re definitely getting some kind of kick backs from this.

I’m sure they have found some kind of shitty technical loophole that makes it legal somehow, but you might still report it anonymously to the employment commission since it is 100% unethical and a serious conflict of interests.

Either way if possible find somewhere else to work as soon as you can. Once these people have bilked you out of as much of your paycheck as they can they will decide your no longer a valuable company asset

CEREAL FIRST, THEN MILK!!! COLD MILK! I DON’T CARE HOW YOUR MOM USED TO FIX IT, THIS IS THE ONLY CORRECT WAY!!!
