I work at a popular chain as a delivery driver. We get 30 cents back in gas reimbursement for every mile we drive. I took 15 deliveries today, and one of them alone was 7 miles. I know I had multiple other deliveries that were 2+ miles. However, I only got paid $5 (equivalent to ≈16 miles of driving), and on days this busy, I usually get paid more than that, so I’m pretty sure there was a “mistake”. I’m probably gonna bring it up to my manager (although I’m nervous to because this company fires people pretty easily), but I’m so annoyed that corporations/business owners keep getting away with shit like this. I’ve had companies keep my tips, “accidentally” leave hours off my paycheck, automatically clock me out when my shift ends instead of when I leave, etc. I understand mistakes happen, but it’s suspiciously often. Do they just hope their employees won’t notice or that their employees are too desperate to keep a job that they won’t speak up? Do billion dollar corporations really need to scam 20 year olds working for $12 an hour out of a couple of dollars?
I’m so tired
