I work my 40-50 hours a week (M-F) construction. I get told I’m coming in for some weekend work, and if I say no I get put on the s*** jobs for the next week. I am a young guy who works to live, not live to work. If I want my weekends I don’t want punished. I’m comfortable and live within my means. Just ranting I guess.

Grasping at straws.

Just got a 4.3% raise working for a large corporation. Average cost of living increase for 2022 is 5.9% and inflation hovers around 6-8%. And they wonder why we are all jumping ship first chance we get.

I have to return the Keys for a shitty job I left, and I mean really shitty. Either way, I thought about going in at night, leaving the keys on the table with a nice letter saying something along the lines of “Farewell, hope to never see you again” What would you guys do ?

Boss is reclassifying me as a contractor for this current payroll but never gave me any notice until I already worked those hours.

Is this allowed? She only told me after I already worked several hours during this pay period. Additionally, is she misclassifying me if I receive direct instruction from her and still work on-site from time to time with her supervision? I’m frankly really angry about the lack of notice, so I wanted to get feedback from others and make sure I’m understanding my situation as best as I can. I’m fairly young so I don’t have much experience with this.
