Not my boss… but imagine how shitty it must be to work at this place if this happened out in the open. I walked into a smoothie shop to purchase a drink. A manager was holding up two 50 dollar bills and said they were fake. He asked the two employees behind the counter preparing drinks who took the bills. They both said neither took them. He said “you're both here… somebody had to take these! They're fake!” The two employees continued working and exhibited body language that reminded me of an someone just trying to ignore/tune out an abuser. The manager then said something to another man, low enough that the employees could not hear, but I could since I was by the register waiting to order while this all happened. He grabbed the tip jar and said “We'll get the money back. Right from this.” I…
So I’m 20 and up until now, way too trusting for my own good. I’ve been working for years and have NEVER checked to see if my pay was right, I always just took their word for it. Yeah that’s stupid but I wasn’t taught to do it and I also suck at math so I never did. However, all of my coworkers have been complaining about their checks and finally I added it all together and my last 3 checks I’ve gotten paid wrong and they owe me money. Is it too late to bring it up? I’m unionized if that helps
Two poems about work
listen, he said, you ever seen a bunch of crabs in a bucket? no, I told him. well, what happens is that now and then one crab will climb up on top of the others and begin to climb toward the top of the bucket, then, just as he's about to escape another crab grabs him and pulls him back down. really? I asked. really, he said, and this job is just like that, none of the others want anybody to get out of here. that's just the way it is in the postal service! I believe you, I said. just then the supervisor walked up and said, you fellows were talking. there is no talking allowed on this job. I had been there for eleven and one-half years. I got up off my stool and climbed right up the supervisor and then I reached up and pulled myself right…
Data protection? what’s that?
If someone were to live in a place with strict data protection laws, like the EU for example, and were to have easy access to personal data of hundreds of employees (email, home address, phone number etc) of a business, what would be the risk to both the business (let's say a multimillion dollar national company) for allowing this data to be easily accessed by unvetted entry level workers, and to the workers themselves? I come from a place without such data protection laws, and I'm curious at what the dangerous could be. I have the vague notion that the information could be used/sold to spam companies for (probably) a meager sum of money, no? What's the danger here?
Steal it back.
Howdy do fellow kids, You are not paid enough for your job. Work slow. Take really long bathroom breaks. Steal some shit. Talk shit on the boss. Happy Tuesday!
