Context. I work as an emissions tester/carwash operator the owners won't give me more then 18 hrs a week.we have two employees including myself
So I had a meeting with the owners of the businesses today where I told them that I was getting a second job and I'd in fact already been offered a position somewhere. The purpose of the meeting was to figure out the new schedule we got the new schedule figured out but like halfway through the meeting one of the owners pipes up with
“Op were really sorry you and your wife are in a bad financial situation but that's just how the world is and you have to deal with it”
And I stop him mid sentence and say
“It's not that we're in a bad financial situation it's that when we started renting our place it was 800 a month now it's 1600 two years later we have increased our income by about 1000 a month since we've moved in but it's not enough to be able to do anything but live paycheck to paycheck If we don't find something cheaper.we need money to be able to move so I have to work more plain and simple and you guys don't have the hours for me.”
They then spent 30 minutes guilt tripping me over getting a second job and tried to tell me it was a bad idea because “if your burned out your not a resource to anyone” and that they'd have more hours for me come the summer
I'm thinking the whole time you motherfuckers went to the Bahamas over the holidays don't lecture me about my work ethic you rich Fucks.
