A PSA for college job applications
If you're offering minimum wage and little to no benefits, do NOT require a literal essay amount of information for an applications. That is all.
I quit from Starbucks on 1/16 of this year after the working conditions and constant pressure to work more hours because everyone has been dropping like flies the last few months have finally got to me. I expected to get my pay but come to find out I have only received 36 CENTS (yes, only 36 CENTS) when I was supposed to receive ~$320. I contacted my manager and she said the payment should’ve been processed and I should get it around this past weekend. I called the store hotline number and it turns out she either 1) couldn’t enter it into the system due to some error or 2) she didn’t put it into the system at all (more leaning towards this option tbh) I contacted her again today at noon and she texted me showing me a pic of my time card with the catastrophe pay and said…
This has got to be a joke?
Boycott self checkouts!
Speaks for itself!

Gotta teach em while they’re young.
Over the past few months, my department, and a few others, have been given generous raises at work. They have, however, always been accompanied with the traditional “do not discuss this raise with anyone” warning from HR. Well, obviously, that's just code for, “we are only paying you more because we have to; please don't tell others, or we might have to compensate them fairly too.” I decided that everyone should know about the raises. Two of my coworkers in departments that didn't get the raises are now in active negotiations to get salary raises AND backpay for the time they worked without the pay bump. Always discuss your wages. It's one of the most effective tools for identifying unfair compensation practices, and anyone who tells you otherwise is certainly trying to screw someone out of their fair share of earnings.
