And it cost me 50 fukin dollars??? It fits in one God damn bag!!! Fuk you America, no wonder I have to work 60 hours a week to put food on the table. And that's just for my daughter, I hardly even eat. I'm so fed up with this

Not getting told I wouldn’t be paid for overtime.

I was working at a pizza deli type place that's a small owner operated place. When I started working I had specifically told the owner I could only work a certain number of hours and he kept scheduling me overtime. I eventually said fuck it and I could use the extra money. He paid cash also which was nice until awhile after I quit I received a tax form from him, but I had never given him my ss# or filled anything out. Luckily I made shit that year and was below the income bracket for having to pay taxes. Anyway on payday he gives me my cash and I run the numbers in my head and realize it's doesn't include the time and a half for the OT I worked. He tells me he isn't required to pay OT because he has under 5 employees. One of the other…

Wife’s client’s father smokes in the house while she is there to provide services, comes home to our 4 month old with hair and clothes putrid with secondhand smoke.

Hey there, looking for advice on advising my wife. I've told her she needs to report this client's parent for smoking while she is providing services and that all that chemical stuff is in her hair when she picks up the baby and the coatroom smells like an ashtray. I'd like to know her rights with regards to this matter. I don't think I'm overreacting and I have good communication with my wife but she is stubborn and always interests my advice as telling her what to do. Well, I advised her to document and report the incident to her employer, but then even if the dude stops smoking while she's there I don't like that she's going into this house and bringing those chemicals back around our four month old. He's cool and hes always babbling now. What do I need to know about moving forward with this?

Net 30/60/90 pay.

Net 30-90 pay scale sucks. I know some offices pay once a month and people don’t mind. But if you aren’t working full time for a company, it can be tough to get paid 30 to 90 days after being completion of contracted work. January was slow. February has been busy but it’s still tough because I won’t see this money for another month. That’s all. Just complaining.

What’s the biggest way an employer screwed you over? I’ll go first

I worked a salary office job and we were severely short staffed and I was the only one on the team with prior experience on this type of project so I worked my butt off for 3 years accruing tons of PTO because the job needs to get done. They post a job that would be a promotion and I apply and they don't even let me interview for it stating that “it would be a waste of time for the interviewers” so I interview with another company and get the promotion with them. I give them my 2 weeks notice and they inform me that the policy is for them to not pay earned vacation and my state's labor laws don't require them to. So I lost 4 weeks pay but I'm glad I don't work their anymore.

Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers

I work in mine site catering in the WA Desert, last night we had 150 (650 to 800) more people on site to feed than we had been advised, as well as being down 40% staff. This morning a supervisor asked whether we were out of anything (certain stock), apparently “my will to live” wasn’t the right answer…..
