A poster whose commuter allowance fraud was uncovered at work and who faced disciplinary action started a thread on 5ch’s Nanjo Jikkyo G (Everything Live) board.
It turned out the poster had been claiming the allowance for highway commuting while actually using surface roads the whole time. The punishment ended up being just a verbal warning plus a hit to their bonus review, but going forward all employees will be required to submit their ETC (toll pass) records. The thread filled up with reactions like “at least you didn’t get fired,” alongside a stream of corporate-slave grumbling about unused paid leave and forced overtime under the disability-hiring program.

My commuter allowance fraud got caught at work and I got disciplined for it… I want to die.

Was browsing a list of workplace screw-up cases from yesterday and found one eerily similar to something I've been hiding, lol. Guess I'll bury it.

At my company, the truly bad stuff the higher-ups pull is the stuff that actually gets covered up 😌

Not fraud-related, but apparently if you buy a commuter pass yet actually walk or bike to work for your health, workers' comp won't cover you if you get in an accident. Still gonna keep doing it though, since I don't want to ride the packed trains.

That's exactly why commuting costs are baked into social insurance premiums, yet so many people still complain about it.

I'd registered my commute as highway use and got paid for it, but it came out that I was almost always taking surface roads… There'd been no checks for years, so suddenly demanding ETC records out of nowhere clearly means someone snitched.

My name won't be mentioned, but HR is sending a company-wide email saying "this kind of incident happened and was disciplined," and it's genuinely depressing. Even without a name, we've only got about 100 employees, so it's obvious who it is.

Well, fudging commuting or travel expenses a little is something everyone does. My company's actually pretty chill about that kind of thing as part of the culture, so I lucked out.

Nice, I'm jealous. Honestly, I don't see the problem with taking surface roads to commute somewhere technically far enough to justify the highway. Commuting costs should be based on the distance from home to office, not the actual route taken.
34Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 07:02:21.86ID:9bf5Fp4m0
Small mercy is that the punishment was just a verbal warning plus a hit to my bonus review. No repayment of the fraudulent difference either. But from now on, anyone using toll roads has to submit ETC records, so I'm probably going to be hated for it.

That's basically workplace harassment at this point.

Once you get labeled as someone who commits that kind of fraud, promotions slow down and you'll get shipped off to a subsidiary the first chance they get. If the verbal warning is the kind written into official regulations, it stays on your record permanently as a disciplinary mark — you'd be better off just changing jobs.

What does everyone do after getting home on days when work ends earlier than usual? Honestly, on days like that I have no idea what to do with myself 😭

A true corporate slave clocks out but doesn't actually leave, hanging around acting like they want to chat with coworkers.

Hard pass — low pay, brutal labor, and insane power harassment and sexual harassment (speaking from experience).

More recently there was a home care worker who abandoned a severely disabled elderly man to go play pachinko. Sounds like there's a bunch of other offenses too.

The temporary toilets at my job site are the worst — you have to use a hand-shower to flush your own poop down. There's a real risk of splashback too. Seriously, my company must be broke.
73Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 07:15:53.49ID:1aM6F4Eld
>>63 reminded me — I've seen a little shower nozzle attached to the wall next to a Western-style toilet before. Was that meant for flushing??? There was a proper flush lever right on the toilet, and there was no bidet (washlet), so I wondered if it was some kind of bidet substitute???? But it looked sketchy so I never used it.

Can't relate, I'm issued a company car. Though FYI, my company's a mess — the dashcam has GPS built in and literally anyone can view the footage.

Getting issued a car is way too generous… though having a camera at all is already unpleasant.

Taking today off. I'm mentally cornered and can't take it anymore. I'm hired under the disability employment program, but I'm being forced to work overtime every single day.

If you take a day off every time you're mentally cornered, you'd have to take one off every week.

I was forced to prep for my next business trip and had to stay home waiting for the paperwork to arrive. Of course, the paperwork never got issued by the deadline. Thanks to that, I won't be able to use up my paid leave before it expires. What a joke.
85Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 07:20:28.74ID:Rhgtb33/0
The new hire is oddly fixated on using up their paid leave. I keep telling them that this is our busy season, but they keep scheduling time off like an idiot anyway. I'm probably the one who's going to end up cleaning up the mess…
88Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 07:21:52.88ID:COP8heX8d

Wouldn't things actually run smoother without the new hire around? I spent every day cleaning up messes until I got demoted, and my performance review tanked because of it.

The ones who keep getting stuck cleaning up after everyone else — that's the real "weak link" here.
