On Juneteenth my boss texted me asking me to come in 2 hours early so she could leave early. I said I really didn’t want to but she told me it was time and a half for Juneteenth so I happily changed my mind and went in. I worked 10 hours at $29.75 an hour.
Fast forward a week and I didn’t receive my near $300 in extra pay. I text my boss angrily to confront her for lying to me. She’s actually a good boss and person btw, very understanding and friendly. She sends me a screenshot of an email between her and the district manager that supports her claim that it’s time and a half so now we’re both just confused.
The district manager comes in a week later and I ask why I wasn’t paid for time and a half.
She’s like “ohhh yeahh sorry hahaha, that was a miscommunication actually”(mind you, she’s the one who sent out an email to all of our stores)
I say what do you mean a miscommunication?
“Well that was only meant for corporate but it accidentally got sent out to all the stores”
Okay, but you sent it out, I expect to paid.
“Yeah well right now me and [other district manager] are in the process of questioning it, but technically they don’t have to pay you”
What.
I’ll be quitting very soon. It’s hilarious because they’re training me to be able to run the store solo but I’m bout to be gone lmaoo.
