Part of an email I got today at my $14/hr job
“If you were a buisness owner and saw an associate doing that -straight chillin on a phone, not even looking up for 2 or more hours– how excited would you be about keeping them on staff, paying them the money you made on your last check? Not so excited, I'm assuming you'd probably either be like.. WTF bro?? Or you'd simply be like.. okay I guess it's time to find someone else who's got a higher level of inner excellence to being some energy in.”
I work a retail job with low foot traffic, in a small store. When I'm not doing anything, it's because THERE'S NOTHING TO DO. It's not my fault I'm not busy. I don't wanna get fucking threatened with losing my job because I don't look busy enough. They allowed phones from the beginning, without as much as a word until now.
This has been a good job, but if this keeps up, I might be done with their shit.
