As the title says, my job has screwed over a lot of people. The time clocks were busted for a while, they legit weren't actually taking time punches for a good bit of people. I have gotten into the habit of writing my times down because of this issue.
Unfortunately, not everyone got the memo. A lady in my department is cut down by $600, another guy didn't get paid at all. Just to give a range of how much was lost.
Everyone is angry, as we should be. Unfortunately, our boss made it seem it was US who messed up our own time? Basically said, “oh yeah, I know the clocks mess up SOMETIMES, but we also forget to make our punches too!” As if two of the clocks weren't completely down for two weeks because they weren't taking anyone's time at all.
Here's where it gets worse: we have all been told that anyone missing pay will see it by next paycheck. Sounds great until you realise one of two things.
One, the taxes taken out of it is going to be horrible.
Two? We're paid on a Bi-Weekly basis.
When told this, people got even more angry. Some people even cried. Obviously at that, how are they going to afford to live? To survive? It's bullshit.
We all get paid between $18-$19 an hour.
There's already talk on striking.
