I got a new job recently, round 6 weeks ago, and just this last Saturday quit. Because they didn't pay me. I was working minimum wage, in a hot humid building with no AC, and I was the janitor.
I was told I'd get to help customers, I was told I'd get to interact and help people find things they needed. I cleaned toilets for four weeks, because no one else would. And the rest of the time I was killing my back, because I was constantly hunched over picking things up, and organizing them.
And when it came time to get payed, I got nothing. The next paycheck comes around, nothing. Not a penny to my name.
I talked to my boss, and she said that it was because the company got my information wrong, so the payroll people weren't sending me the checks. Which was bullshit.
I talked to the owner, and he didn't have time for me, and told me to talk to my boss.
I should mention, I was the only one there to come in on time. We opened at 10. Most of the time the doors opened at 10:30.
Eventually got my boss to write a check out herself for me after I quit. I got 349 dollars. For 6 weeks, of hot, hard, unappreciated work.
