Getting tired of working for free, coworker and I confronted our boss. Boss suggests paying us less in response. But also working for free should be fine since I’m paid “very well” (my last paycheck was $580)

Calling out from work..

Whether I do have a valid excuse or not I have this weird feeling like they're gonna question me. Do employers have any right to know in detail??? Maybe it's just my paranoia….I fucking hate this job btw. I rather be dumpster diving than working at this place

You think $7.25/hr is bad? 35,020 disabled workers are legally being paid even less than that (and these are non-tipped positions, too).
