And nobody was there. I had to text the boss and ask what was going on. She said that she had messaged and that work was rescheduled for 1. Me and another guy were at work for an hour waiting for the others. Do we get to be paid? Nobody messaged us the change in plans
Hi y'all, I always see that this community is super bright and knows a lot about workers' rights, so I wanted to ask if something is wrong here. I'm leaving my job (AWWW YEA BABEY) on Sunday, 1/1. Pay periods athe Friday-Thursday every week, with our new paycheck coming every friday, and we are tipped employees. Our tips are pooled and then divided by the total number of labor hours to get a 'tip pay per hour': if you work more hours, you get a bigger share of tips. I worked 35.8 hours during the 12/23-12/29 pay period (christmas pay period), and will work 12 during the 12/30-1/5 pay period (new years pay period), as I'm quitting. However, this week, my boss went out of town early, and has decided to gather all the tips from 12/23-12/26 (NOT the full christmas pay period) for the christmas paycheck, and the tips…
Kevin Ford. 27 yrs there. Took no time off. Managers gave him a backpack with a movie stub, Starbucks cup and candy. His daughter did get a go fund me that got him $300,000.
I worked as a tele-underwriter for over 1 year. Fully remote, never physically saw anyone I worked with. Upon onboarding we signed a document stating we’d clock out when encountering over 30 minutes of downtime. There was so much downtime (due to servers, program errors, crummy device problems). We all clocked out so much, hardly ever making 40hrs/wk on the clock. But, we were instructed to remain active for our shift and work on device errors off the clock. (I’ve got copies of the policy and supervisor instruction). Around mid-November my computer became inoperable. Couldn’t stay in production at all, clocking out daily after 30minutes. Programs continually shutdown and gave out errors. I followed their procedure: contacted leadership, and IT. Tickets were made by me and ignored by the IT teams. Then, late November I lost all access to my device. Couldn’t use my login at all, couldn’t access my…
A year ago today I quit my job of 13 years at a law firm. I was fed up with the way I was being treated, written up for petty mistakes, passed over for promotions and denied raises. I stuck it out over fear of not finding another job, losing insurance and lack of will. The breaking point for me came during Covid after 7 months working from home. Management decided I had to start going back into the office (I'm IT Admin/Help Desk) to support a handful of attorneys who preferred working in the office instead of being at home. This was never more than 12 lawyers out of 200 employees and the remainder still worked from home. The IT staff were 7 people and no one else had to do this nor was it a rotation where everyone shared the load. This went on from Jan 21-Oct…
“Nobody works. Nobody gives a damn.” Another billionaire complaining that no one wants to work for crap wages. A shame…
My favorite excuse: When your boss asks why you’re not at work today just say “I’m sick with anal blindness”. When they ask what that is say “I don’t see my ass coming into work today”
