I’m not like a super political person, and from my understanding its the idea that if I make a $10 thing for the bossman, but only get $1 that is wage theft?
But like, when I took the job I knew how much I was going to make?
Or is it like, people are literally not getting their paychecks?
I’m slightly inebreated, lazy, and don’t want my algorithms to start becoming politically charged from googling and youtubing this. I’m already collapse aware and my mental health is ultra fragile.
Help me Lemmy wan kenobi, you’re my only hope.
God that pissed me right off. When I first started working in my first ‘proper’ job (fast food) I always liked to be 5 minutes early and not head to clock out until after my shift finished. We could clock in or out up to 5 minutes before or after our scheduled start/finish times.
One day I clocked in 2 minutes early and out a whole 3 minutes after I was meant to. then that night I got a notification my shift start and end times had been adjusted. Apparently that day the big manager was reviewing all clock times and decided the 5 minutes of overtime was too much. It’s not like I wasn’t working or anything either, I started serving people as soon as I’d clocked on and I was only clocking out late because I was busy making people’s food (because for some funny reason you can’t just up and leave in the middle of assembling a burger)
From then on I wouldn’t walk in until 1 minute before my shift was due to start and would stop working 5 minutes before my shift was due to finish to walk to the break room, grab my bag and leisurely stroll around to say goodbye to everyone before clicking out the exact minute I was due to finish, because fuck you. What kind of stinge bag removes 5 minutes of overtime? What kind of stinge bag even tracks 5 minutes of overtime??
They should track 5 minutes of overtime, because you worked it and God dammit you should be paid for it.
