No good deed goes unpunished. I found out my job was breaking labor laws about overtime, informed my coworkers that were really getting screwed over by it (being worked 70 hours one week then 10 hours the next week and told OT was calculated by the 80 hour pay period), including unsalaried middle management, to read the labor law poster in the break room. Guess who got relentlessly harassed and then constructively fired by the new store manager, but was young and dumb enough to not recognize retaliation? Turns out all ownership was directly involved intentionally making my life a living hell at work because I expected basic labor law to be followed. That's how I figured out middle management are usually class traitors too.
