Title. I’m an i-9 worker. I work in construction. My former employer fired me because I don’t want to work weekends.
After leaving me in charge of a 250k job I asked for a raise. He showed up to this particular job a grand total of 3 times. That was over a month ago.
Well this morning he says, “josh”. (he is the owner of the company I subcontract for.)
Isn’t happy because some work didn’t get done over the weekend. I responded that after some bills I paid I had a total of $10 in my account.
He started getting mad when he said I don’t want to work anymore. No I don’t want to work weekends anymore. I want to spend it with my wife and kids, sue me.
I told him how much I’m carrying the squad he doesn’t even leave his house on Thursday’s and Friday’s anymore. And he said have a nice day.
Like ok buddy all these tools are mine until you pay me the money you owe me have a good day. What is it with people thinking the people they employ are available to them whenever. On top of that you want me to work extra but not pay me extra. Yeah not happening.
Made a few calls I already have another job making 3x as much as I did. Go ahead and milk that foot and shoulder frank see how much work gets done now boss.
