I’ve been on time for my shifts consistently and it hasn’t been an issue until recently. We have a new boss that insists that on-time is 15-20 minutes early. I firmly believe that any time before my scheduled shift is my own time; if I’m scheduled to clock on at 2 PM, I’m going to clock on at 2 PM.

When I applied initially it said it was hourly plus commission but it’s actually only hourly unless the commission is more than that then I get just the commission. Today I was casually talking to a customer, not even selling anything to him as he was already being help for a tint…

From the many [many] posts i have read here, i think you guys need to learn to: Say no and not make it look negociable. [No reasons, no details] Not befriend your bosses.
