I've just gone back to work at a seasonal tourism job (tour guide on a bus). The owner of the company has always been notoriously stingy when it comes to wages (though the tips are good, and he now pays about $3 an hour above the state minimum). I really enjoy the job, so that's why I keep going back. After being shut down for 2 years due to Covid, they've restarted operations. We also need professional drivers to drive the buses, and drivers have been increasingly difficult to find. Rather than offer more money, the owner will simply not run tours on days we don't have drivers. So, instead of paying a few extra dollars an hour, he prefers to shut the operation down completely, leaving the rest of us workers in the lurch. I've actually started looking for other jobs, because instead of the 5 days a week I'm supposed to work, I'll only end up working 3. Has anyone else experienced anything like this at work? They'll shut down a whole operation rather than pay workers a little better.
