I was told today “well there’s nothing in your contract about hours but we expect you to be around when we need you”
Okay, I finished my entire workload for the week in 4 hours. Now I spend the rest of the week doing literally nothing, luckily I wfh so I don’t have to commute . But they are literally paying me to be NEAR my computer in case some emergency arises. But my friends working construction busting their ass every minute have to fight for overtime/proper payouts.
I’m not posting this bragging or any of that shit, I’m posting this because this is fucking ridiculous. I’m not special. I stumbled into this job. And yeah I am pretty good at it, but guess what? So would be a fucking monkey.
What pisses me off the most is that I worked 7 years at a winery. Literally digging dirt, cutting grapes, managing people, I worked my ass off for years and I built a solid support staff that I’m proud of to this day. They paid me $10 an hour.
I make mid six figures now, and I do fuck all, and I hate myself for it. I’m not the first to say it and I won’t be the last.
We need a revolution. This is horseshit.
