Antiwork

i posted here before but basically i was offered a position with 7:30-16:00 hours which i accepted, then they told me that i had to do a “training period” with 13:30-22:00 THE DAY BEFORE said training period started. which i physically can’t do because i share a ride with my wife, and i’d made that clear previously. it’s been a week now since i both left a message and sent an email explaining this, and asking if it could be fixed. then i sent another email to the personnel manager, who forwarded it to the dude responsible for scheduling. i have not turned up, and just waited for a reply. NOTHING. nothing for a whole week. not even a “yea fuck you then, you don’t have a job”. not a fucking bleep. on saturday i sent another email to the scheduling guy and the first person asking what gives, and…

It was very weird, as I didn't know that employers were doing this. Feels like a step towards Gattaca. The thing is, my counselor had me take one of these and it was shockingly accurate and helpful, but there is no way I would tell the truth on one to an employer. They aren't my counselor.

The problem with cost of living for many Americans is the uncompetitive natural of the housing market as there will always be more and more demand. Main problems of housing is the idea of rental properties generating cash flow on mortgages. There should not be cash flow on mortgages. At most it should be break even or lose money on mortgages month to month as the payout would be the value of the house. If a 1500$ a month mortgage only has a 1000$ rent the landlord is still generating 1000$ a month just not in immediate cash flow but as a asset. As long as property value continue to b/e or increase this is your risk/reward. I think government limitations for rental properties and housing is very reasonable on any scale. Current concepts are abuse of the middle class Edit: Including the maintenance, upkeep, taxes, downtime, etc… I thinking…

So I get told the pay is $15 an hour, right. That's what it says on the job listing and that's what I'm told on the phone interview. Cool, it's not much but it's more than minimum wage and it's fair for the work I'd be doing. I wait for the call back for like a week–they constantly fuck up my name through correspondence– but I'm finally able to have an orientation. I go in and talk with the managers. Standard stuff, they hand me a w4. They THEN say I'll be earning $10 an hour, plus tips. Oh, but don't worry, they tell me, you'll never make less than $3 in tips per hour. Um. I nervous laugh, I go to the current employees and ask them if they do well with tips. One girl looks me dead in the eye and says “we don't make as much as…

On top of that, they say we can’t bring food home. Like I’m not even allowed to pay full price and get it to go. The policy is we HAVE to eat it there, which is annoying, but Is it even legal for them to fire me for where I go to EAT??
