So I bartend at a place at we get what is called a “shift pay” which is 100 dollars just for being there. Well that has apparently gone out the window and now we are going to be making 2.25 an hour. And since I am not technically an employee I don’t get the safety net of covering to the 7.25 if the hours and pay don’t equal out. YAY!
What’s a super slap in the face is the new GM and one of the three owners looked me dead in the face and told me “we are easing the price of stuff on the customer so we don’t decrease the amount we are paying you. And that was only a month ago… wanting to charge 6 dollars for a bottle water and shit. It’s fucking theft and now I am the one being stolen from for what? So they can make even more money?
The system of bowing down to our insanely wealthy owners just because they have a hold on what is paid to us is fucked and I hope they all get the karmic ass kicking that is coming to them. Not actual violence but something…
I’m just frustrated that the place I have called home for almost a decade now is just casting us aside and no longer taking care of us. I feel betrayed.
