After some ongoing issues at work, I’ve decided to become an under-achiever. If my boss expects more than my absolute bare minimum effort to get the job done, I’m gonna expect to get paid accordingly.
I’m the newest employee at a small dog grooming shop after working there for 6 months. My boss recently hired another employee, a high schooler who can only come in after school. I offered to stay late sometimes to train the new employee in after closing duties as she comes in too late on weekdays to wash dogs. Anyway, this past weekend the new girl was washing a dog incorrectly and my boss noticed. She stormed back to me in the shop and bitched me out about “why isn’t she scrubbing/washing the dog correctly” and essentially complaining to me that no one at the shop does ANY dog correctly. I had hardly trained the new employee in baths, eand I don’t believe it was my responsibility to completely train her. She made me rewash and dry the dog even after cutting it’s fur. The dog belonged to a friend of my bosses, who tipped her $130 upon paying. Conveniently, my job status does not get tips.
All of this to say I’m sick and tired of giving minimum wage jobs 100% when my bosses would gladly pay me nothing at all if they could. Now I smoke weed all day, work as slowly as possible, and run out the clock. Fuck this shit.
