Quick backstory I have been working at this restaurant, won’t say the name out of privacy reasons for owners. But basically I started as waitstaff and was told this week to come in early to help with meal preparation. The cheap bastards fired their chef so we need to “pitch in”.
I agreed to come in early for overtime pay and they said that overtime pay is my right. I have never liked the owners but never hated them either. The customers are great. But this week I’ve realized that a service job is not at all about serving customers it’s about serving your fucking boss. This asshole tells me at the end of the week that I am not entitled to overtime pay, over a text. Furiously I call the guy and he doesn’t pick up. Apparently no one is entitled to it and the boss hasn’t shown up for 3 days! Now us the staff have to make up for it and work extra hard as he was the host. It’s bullshit and I just can’t deal with it. Will likely quit and file a complaint over this. Idk I’m sorry I’m just tired…
