I started working at this position in January 2020. Every evening I'd be told what I was doing the next day. They were supposed to tell us before we left for the day. They did sometimes, but most of the time I didn't know what I was doing the next day until around 1700 when I get off at 1500 and start at 0300. Sometimes as late as 1900! I'm in the trucking industry and my hours are federally regulated. I must have 10 uninterrupted hrs off-duty before returning to work again. So, this was problematic to me. This was an issue from day one. They'd call and I wouldn't answer because I was busy. I'd call back and first thing out of this dudes mouth every time was “FFZombie, you need to answer when we call.” And I was always like “I'm off-duty and not being paid. I've called…
Were you mentally and physically able to work during a majority of the week? Physically? Yes. Mentally? Never.

How being rich actually works.
As a business owner, I have a bit of insight into how the wealthy become wealthy. it isn't all hard work and sacrifice, nor is it all putting a specific value on one's time, nor is it all exploitation or devaluation of others' time. Step 1. Make an LLC, with a bank account for the LLC. Step 2. Pay yourself with a Trust that owns the LLC. The federal government requires a “Reasonable” Salary to be paid to yourself, anything beyond that is considered a non-taxable dividend. The government/IRS has a definition of what is reasonable salary, this usually maxes out at $80,000, but can be as much as $120,000 in some states. Step 3. Utilizing the trust, the LLC, or Both, purchase Assets that appreciate in value. these can be stocks, land, commodities, etc., the important thing is that the asset is owned by the LLC, the trust, or…

Mathnasium Owner is Not Paying Me
I'm an instructor for a Mathnasium Branch in Ontario, Canada. I started working at the begining of Dec 2021. During the first meeting with the owner, he told me that he will hire me under this provincial program which is giving grants to small businesses if the new hirees work a certain number of hours per week within a timeframe which ends around feb/mar. I told him that I will be available for 2-3 shifts a week which comes out to 8-12 hours. He said because there isn't enough time for me to work the required hours for him to get the grant, he will record my hours as 15 hrs/week and consequently pay me more than I work until I finish the program, then pay me less than I work and by around April it will all even out. After his first two payments on Dec 23 and Jan…

Never Feel Guilty About Saying No
First of all , im on my cell and my spelling sucks. So sorry for that but onward to the story. The year was 2003 and I (17m) was in high school. I always worked construction with/for my father but wanted to try a more “normal” job.I lived at home and honestly didnt need to work since I made more than enough doing construction for my spending habits as a high schooler. So I applied at a local fast food resturant , Braums , and was hired. I attended the trainings and started working. I did not mind the work , it was easy and found it fun since I was use to more labours work. About three months into the job I was with my father at a friends house shooting guns and cooking on my day off. During this period I did not have a cell phone but…
