Note: Before you guys comment and tell me to just quit, I can't. I don't have a car or other means of transportation because I live in the middle of fucking nowhere. The only reason I have this job is because I can get a free ride to it and only it thanks to a family member I live with who also works there. I'm stuck here for the time being until I can afford a car of my own. Quitting is not an option and would only result in my being stuck in my situation longer.
I'm just so sick of being fucked over by my job. If I get injured on the job and have to be sent home, my paycheck will be short and I have to go into the office to get it straightened out and be paid workman's comp like I should. And then it will still be short still because “oops,” they forgot the overtime I would have had. And it takes like three weeks, three trips to the office, and three paychecks to be sorted out. By the end you just give up because it takes more time and effort than it's worth to be even and fair in the end.
I just finished working there for the summer and they were supposed to compensate me for the required expensive safety shoes that I was told to purchase. I followed all the steps, turned in my receipt and everything and was told it'd show up on my last paycheck. Surprise surprise, it didn't. And of course I didn't notice it until a couple weeks later, so I don't even know if I'll ever be compensated for it now.
I don't really want advice from this post. I'm just so sick of corporations fucking me over. I'm a good worker. I work buzzer to buzzer unlike the other burnt out employees there. I do everything I can to help out production and how do they pay me? By just fucking me over and making me jump through hoops to get my fair pay. WTF do I have to do just to not be cheated out my pay?!
