I threw up on my boss and got him fired!

o I was out sick one day, pre-covid age, and my boss called me and demanded I go to work. I objected but he told me I was easily replaceable and I was lucky to have the job in the first place. I had a horrible stomach ache all through the drive there. When I got to work my boss had his usual disrespectful attitude and was berating me on how I was being weak and soft. Finally, I had enough so I leaned over and threw up all over him and his desk. Everyone else in the office pointed and laughed at him and they all took turns throwing up on him as well. Then upper management came in and congratulated me for sticking up to him and he was promptly fired on the spot.

A hopefully inspirational story

Busted ass 50+ hrs like a champion, sacrificing much of myself at a new job for 8 months or so, saving the company measurable hours of labor via my own methods and ideas, having been well-skilled with years of experience in the wider arena of work we accomplish. Simply put, the established methods could be improved upon and I carried out the work to the best of my abilities. Around the holidays I was approached about changing to a salaried pay structure which yearly was about even with my projected income at the current hourly rate + the overtime I’d been working due to their needs. The yearly salary offered would equate to about a $6/hr+ raise in hourly pay if calculated working 40 hours a week. So naturally I instead asked for a raise of $2 in hourly pay, as a (fair?) compromise thinking it to be wholly agreeable…

Resort work with employee housing?

I recently started working (about 10 days ago) in another state serving at a ski lodge due to my friend referring me. i didn’t really have an idea of pay or expectations just wanted to spend time with my buddy. i’ve never served besides this job with my forte being childcare. The wage is 6$ an hour coming to 1100$ monthly being salary based; housing and meals included. My shifts typically are 7:30-2:30pm and then go back from 5:30-11:30 pm. the resorts meals are inclusive so tips are solely based if someone gets alcohol. it’s tough work! there is nothing to do but ski (which i can’t afford or care to do), and the other workers have a cult like mentality and shun those who quit. you apparently need to quit sorta last minute or else the managers tend to let you go the day of and will have you…

Does this seem right?

Okay so I work at Outback Steakhouse as a server, and there's a few things that all of us servers have complained about multiple times. So our wage is $2.13/hr, which is typical for servers in this state. But in the 6 months I've worked here, no server has ever received a paycheck. And even weeks where I'm working 40 hours or more, you'd think that I'd get a paycheck of around $180, at the very least $100. I've asked the managers why we don't get paychecks and they tell us that it all goes to “taxes”. I guess I'd understand that if we were making $300 a night in tips that have to be taxed, but we're definitely not. And on top of that when servers clock out it is common practice for us to not put the real number of cash tips we've made that night, so the…

Every where, there is corruption. This bank has been sued and lost many times in past. They screwed me out of tons of money. Money was there long before bills. They would not apply until after bills went thru. So they could make late fees. They lost in court. But i never got my money back.

Had to respond to a discussion question for economics class about raising and lowering wages. This was one of my classmates responses and my response to him.

I got a job! So I decided not to show up. Without a notice.

Take that, skeffery lezos. And I got a better offer with flexible hours, higher pay, and a 18 minute commute. I get mini fridge.
