Pointing out

I always wanted to post my story, and figured now was a good time. About 8 years ago, 2014, my wife and I (20 years old) had our son in March. Knowing I would need to provide, I went job hunting. I settled on a chip factory that my mother-in-law had been at since the doors opened. I started as a packer, working my way to a cook by years end. I took on every responsibility I could, even going as far as being the trainer, even though I was essentially the newest cook. I would have to rewrite the entire training course and continually ask for my trainers pay, but that's not the main point of this story. Fast forward to 2019. I've put in 5 years at this point, I've given up some of my afternoons (normally a 6:30 AM to 3 PM, but OT went 6:30 AM…

I have two college degrees but deliver pizza because the money is better

Like, way better. Last year I made $57,800 as a full time delivery driver—that broke down to $25.68/hr. The most hours I worked in a full week was 51 (by choice) and the least was 38. I took 17 days off work unpaid (no PTO). I work four days per week, usually three 12’s and an 8. I get health, dental, and vision insurance for $73 per paycheck. I worked the delivery job part-time through undergrad and grad school and switched to full time in 2016 after quitting my “real” job. Here’s the pay breakdown: -Split hourly wage of $11.15/$8.00, meaning when I am in-store I make the state min, and when I’m clocked out on a delivery I make a tipped wage. Overtime is 1.5x the in-store wage (no split). -Untaxed mileage reimbursement (currently 41¢ per mile—varies slightly with the price of gas) -Tips account for ~50% of income…

Applied for a position a few weeks ago, was turned down but asked for feedback. I have green hair, they didn’t even get to see my tattoos and facial/ear piercings. Bullet dodged imo, I don’t sell out my appearance for money.

Punished for doing too well

So I work for a company that does phone sales in Walmart. Myself and my store are the number 1 stores for sales and has been since I started. I moved up to a management position, but stepped down after I found out they only paid a flat $200 for gas. I was driving to a completely different state daily, which was over 100 miles a day. So I'm completely against traveling and have turned down the same promotion and others many times now. Flash forward to today, I was told by my manager a little while ago that since my store hits goal religiously, that I would be required to travel to other stores that weren't staffed to help hit goal. I said I didn't sign up for that and didn't want to do it. She said that I'd get my hours cut if I didn't, because she needed…
