I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that this obviously made up thing never happened.

Yeah the wage theft is believable it's the pretending not to understand what 10% means that marks it as clearly made up.

Could be real.

I had an employer give a 3% raise one year. But it was only .75% per quarter, which they did not disclose during the announcement.

So by the end of the year, you did technically get the whole 3% so they didn't actually lie about it.

Didn't help that cost of living had gone up by 8-12% at the time. So even a 3% raise that we were promised was a pay cut when you look at the entire picture.

I don't think it could. Anyone who knows that 10% = 0.1 can tell that 0.03 is clearly not 10% of 26.
