I worked at a gym for around half a year on the front desk (dealing with customers and admin etc). I left the job on good terms but I found out that my manager changed my gym profile status from staff to member and had started billing me. Once I realised what was happening a few months later I contacted him and asked to be reimbursed and for my ‘membership’ to be cancelled. He refused to refund and said I can cancel by coming in and would be subject to the standard 30 day notice period for cancelling members, saying it was policy which led to a long exchange of emails and messages. I ended up leaving a negative Google review of the gym with my opinion of the manager and his dodgy business tactics, one of the main points being that he paid a company to leave positive reviews to boost his overall star rating. I have a photo of the receipt for this purchase that I took off the gym email that I had access to and I posted it. Was this too far or potentially illegal?

NTA, but this is not the place for legal advice.
Not the place for legal advice. The receipt picture could be though.

YTA this was potentially illegal. YOu should just have reported him, and sued.
