Antiwork

How/much do you expect to be compensated? What’s the minimum wage in your state or province? What are the top three things you expect from your employer.

Today we had a teams meeting explaining that the company is imposing a 3% surcharge on all products delivered after April 1 regardless of when they were ordered. We sell long lead time products for the building industry which we get deposits for plus signed contracts. Now our bosses want us to tell our customers too bad what your contract says you’re paying more if you don’t take delivery prior to April 1. Yeah this counts for products ordered but not even in our possession at that time. So even if they want to take delivery we couldn’t do it and they’d have to pay. If they don’t pay they don’t get the product. I’m assuming that they believe most if not all clients will grow down and pay because if they don’t they would be delayed at least 8 weeks if they had to order elsewhere. The reason is…

It’s your typical office, computer, phone type stuff. One thing that doesn’t sit good with me though is how the business is run. My role is basically calling freight brokers for loads of product that needs to be moved. Then I have to find a trucking company that can supply a truck and driver to move this product within a set date etc. The one problem I am having is lying.. basically the broker and trucking company can’t know we are working with each other so…
