The stated mission says that the goal is to make the most of the work free life. But honestly, I feel like posting on Reddit about old jobs isn’t the best life has to offer. For those that are work free who spend a significant amount of time here, why?

Hello everyone not really sure where to get help from so I figured you guys could point me in the right direction. Today at work it was closing time and I was still checking people out for their items. When all the sudden one of my managers told me to clock out and proceeded to use my register to check people out. I told her I didn't feel comfortable her doing that in case she counted my cash wrong or something, she said it was fine and made me clock out. Is there anything I can do about this other than file a complaint to the store manager.

To preface, I have read the employee handbook from front to back, multiple times. The handbook states that PTO hours are not considered worked hours, and therefore do not contribute to overtime compensation. There is also no specified cap on how much PTO is allowed to be taken each week. I got multiple days approved PTO in a given week, and I was also scheduled to work the other days (24 hours) that I didn't have requested off. This was fine- except my manager then realized that I would exceed 40 hours of worked+PTO time, and 16 hours of my (already approved) PTO was then revoked.

Worked 12 hour shifts since early last week and today was supposed to be my last day of that bs. I get the text from my supervisor on if there’s any chance I can work another 12 starting at 5am…man fuck all of that.
