I quit my part time job on the 4th day that our paychecks were late. They ended up being 5 days late total.
We were supposed to get paid on Friday. They “didn’t process it in time” and it was supposed to come Monday. Until an employee pointed out Monday was a holiday and the owners nonchalantly said “Oh yeah Tuesday then” Still no paystub has been generated on Tuesday morning. We all wake up and surprise! No direct deposit.
The owners state this is a problem with the payroll company and “they aren’t going to do anything to help because it’s not their fault”.
We are told we will get paid on Wednesday. We wake up to no direct deposit on Wednesday. They scramble around and somehow the deposit shows up at about 4pm.
During this disaster anytime anyone sends a message about this to the company group chat it’s immediately deleted by the owner.
On Friday we also had a “handbook meeting”. The owner was 20 minutes late while all her employees sat and twiddled their thumbs waiting for her. I had to come in on my day off.
The meeting is wildly unprofessional with her stating “I’ll just fire you” at least 10 times.
If you are sick even one day you need to provide a drs note because “If you can afford to take a day off you can afford a drs appt” (this place offers no benefits) and “Covid isn’t really a thing anymore” and much much more.
On Tuesday I messaged in my immediate resignation. They were blindsided and I was one of the best performers in my dept. I will not work in such an unprofessional place that can’t pay its workers on time.
Did I mention that one of our January paychecks were also supposed to come Friday but instead came on Monday?
I’m relieved to be gone, I took this job when my small business was slow. I’m hope things pick up for my own business! But at least I’m gone!
