Busted ass 50+ hrs like a champion, sacrificing much of myself at a new job for 8 months or so, saving the company measurable hours of labor via my own methods and ideas, having been well-skilled with years of experience in the wider arena of work we accomplish. Simply put, the established methods could be improved upon and I carried out the work to the best of my abilities. Around the holidays I was approached about changing to a salaried pay structure which yearly was about even with my projected income at the current hourly rate + the overtime I’d been working due to their needs. The yearly salary offered would equate to about a $6/hr+ raise in hourly pay if calculated working 40 hours a week. So naturally I instead asked for a raise of $2 in hourly pay, as a (fair?) compromise thinking it to be wholly agreeable…

I recently started working (about 10 days ago) in another state serving at a ski lodge due to my friend referring me. i didn’t really have an idea of pay or expectations just wanted to spend time with my buddy. i’ve never served besides this job with my forte being childcare. The wage is 6$ an hour coming to 1100$ monthly being salary based; housing and meals included. My shifts typically are 7:30-2:30pm and then go back from 5:30-11:30 pm. the resorts meals are inclusive so tips are solely based if someone gets alcohol. it’s tough work! there is nothing to do but ski (which i can’t afford or care to do), and the other workers have a cult like mentality and shun those who quit. you apparently need to quit sorta last minute or else the managers tend to let you go the day of and will have you…

Okay so I work at Outback Steakhouse as a server, and there's a few things that all of us servers have complained about multiple times. So our wage is $2.13/hr, which is typical for servers in this state. But in the 6 months I've worked here, no server has ever received a paycheck. And even weeks where I'm working 40 hours or more, you'd think that I'd get a paycheck of around $180, at the very least $100. I've asked the managers why we don't get paychecks and they tell us that it all goes to “taxes”. I guess I'd understand that if we were making $300 a night in tips that have to be taxed, but we're definitely not. And on top of that when servers clock out it is common practice for us to not put the real number of cash tips we've made that night, so the…

Take that, skeffery lezos. And I got a better offer with flexible hours, higher pay, and a 18 minute commute. I get mini fridge.

Obligatory statements: first post on reddit, and on mobile so things might be junk. I've only just realized after several months just how much one of my recent jobs took advantage of me. I was in my first year of college and we were in the midst of covid and since I had been displaced from the dorms I needed to find a job to be able to afford to stay in an apartment. I got a job as a cashier/food prep worker for minimum wage + tips. Now this should have been the first red flag, both a cashier and food prep? However I was a dumb kid and this job was one of the first that actually got back to me about my application. Second red flag? I was asked to come in for training literally the night that I got the phone interview. I was just happy…
