Last week I started a new job that was supposed to be a relatively stress free one, under the pretense that I would make about $30/day, 5 days/week, and that the “day” of work would consist of about 45 mins to an hr and a half.
Well, three days into this mess, I have consistently taken 4-5 hours each time and am therefore making LESS than minimum wage. Not to mention, I have to use my personal vehicle for the job (not commuting but for the actual job itself), and the job has left me with consistent lower back and hip pain each time I’ve worked.
I texted the manager to thank him for the opportunity but due to the poor compensation and also the gas being used for my truck and the pain issue, I would not be able to continue the job.
He asks me to stay on at least one more night because he’s at the hospital right now as they remove intubation from his grandmother. Like, I get it, family comes first and I feel for you. But I had just said I can’t get into or out of my truck without severe pain and now you’re kinda guilt tripping me… not cool dude. Not cool.
