a week and a half ago I made a post about how my boss tried to cheat us out of overtime. My coworkers at first kindly requested for him to not enforce his policy. When my boss ignored them, I stopped working, (I legitimately got sick and took days off) but a majority of my coworkers left. I don’t blame them. But they were the only thing that made the job bearable.
Anyway, someone reported him and his policy is no more. But now we have a fresh batch of new coworkers. One of them being 16. He is basically me when I was his age. Eager to work an unfair job starting at $7.50 an hour. I don’t know if I should break it down to him or let him figure it out. But either way I can’t stand seeing this happen. I’ve noticed patterns in my boss’s behavior on how he gets people to work more than they signed up for. He’s a scumbag.
I’m glad that I’m responsible for training my coworker though. I’m not exactly sure why. I got to teach him how to manage to get tips, since the kids who work outside don’t get tips from the jar inside. In my experience, coworkers in bad jobs became close friends that I’m glad I have lol.
