>if your car needs serviced you bring it to me and I relay whatever the technician says your car needs
>first few months in, around November management releases Christmas bonus plan for TXM advisors and regular full on advisors
>Christmas bonus fully depends on what you sell and CSI (customer surveys)
>$5 every air filter sold, $10 each battery, $10 each alignment, $10 each brake job, $5 for other random services
>supposed to accumulate from mid November till the end of December
>work my ass off, come in early, stay late to sell as much bullshit snake oil as possible to get a nice healthy bonus
>keep track of all my sales and add up how much my bonus is gonna be at the end of the month
>somewhere around $4-5,000
>management drags feet and takes fucking forever to come down and actually give everyone their bonus checks
>leave for lunch one day
>come back into the office and office partner tells me
>hey man go to manager anons office they released all the bonuses
>fucking ecstatic

During mid 2019 I was called into the office because they claimed they “overpaid” me by about $900.
>hey so HR accidentally offset everyone’s pay last night and some got underpaid some got overpaid
>you unfortunately were one of the advisors that were overpaid so we’re gonna go ahead and just take the overpayment out of your next check in a couple weeks so go ahead and consider this one a loan.
>this happened in California
>actually boss we’re not gonna go that way, no refunds, thank you for letting me know but I don’t authorize you to do that.
>well unfortunately anon, it doesn’t work that way.
>look up California labor code
>find exact labor code that says they can’t do shit about it if I don’t sign and consent and they can get fucked
>go to HR on lunch break and tell them that I’m not going to authorize for them to reduce my pay by a single red cent
>well, we apologize for the inconvenience but that’s how we’re gonna go about it
>cite exact labor code (I think it’s CA labor code section 227)
>HR bitches eyes shoot open from her drowsy gaze

>politely tell him to get fucked there’s nothing he or HR can do

I got fucked out of a very meaningful bonus simply because a handful of my customers were pissy about the coffee in the waiting room being too cold, the kids room being a mess, and that someone shit on the bathroom floor (these are actual reasons I read from the survey responses). HR couldn’t and wouldn’t do shit about it because they slapped the label “contest” onto the bonuses. This happened the next year as well, December of 2019 I got fucked in a very similar fashion only this time I didn’t push for any snake oil or other sales because I knew what they were going to try to pull.

Not much except last week some boomer fucked up, passed the blame to me when we had to stay five minutes later to fix her mistake then tonight she fucked up again on the same thing.

I guess a job I was working in the past was some shitty door to door job and the 'boss' was some 36yo Californian soiboi hopping form state to state 'managing' door to door operations with his obese wife and he got mad at me because he was basically tracking me going door to door and I was using my car to make it faster, apparently he thought this was slowing me down or something. It was like 100 degree heat and I'd take breaks with my AC, plus the fact that I don't like to leave my car unattended in weird neighborhoods.

Got to the next review and they did the same thing, I politely informed them this job wasnt for me and left the meeting.

Ironic how they likely they would see no issue of you being forced to stay an extra minute to help but treat you like a huge bother if you demand pay for that minute. As if it was audacious to demand pay for a "mere minute" yet they'll likely get irate from you being late to work by a minute, leaving work a minute early. Or taking an extra minute during break or lunch. This would likely happen in the last 3 jobs I had.

I worked as a CAD & revit technician which was a little over minimum wage but had a bonus scheme based on your productivity (drawings and modelling were tracked). I would regularly get +50% of my base wage in bonuses and was regularly the high performer for the month.

I was then given some bullshit job to fix some surveying drawings that had been outsourced to India. Real tedious stuff. I got the work done, but because the manager had estimated the time taken to be much less than what it actually took, the bonus system calculated a negative bonus figure (and I'm sure no one else would have done it any quicker).

I only found this out when I got my payslip and the negative bonus had been applied and I effectively got paid less than minimum wage. The boss didn't give a fuck and wouldn't change it so I quit as soon as I found another job (about 6 weeks later)

be 17. looking for a job, walk into a little chinese/sushi restaurant
> “hey uhh do you have any jobs available?”
>”YOU DRIVE CAR?”
> “yeah!”
> “OKAY COME BACK TOMORROW”

From then on I started my long career of delivery driving for a restaurant whose entire staff can’t speak solid English.
Shit was run so bad. The managers were a married couple. But while the wife was the cashier, all the husband did was smoke in the kitchen and watch chinese porn on his phone. Sometimes he would call those lines where cute girls talk to you. The wife would come into the kitchen and yell chinese words at him.
The kitchen walls were caked in grease, dead mosquitoes hawks were in the water we wash the rice ladles with. The sweet and sour sauce tub was left without a lid under a dank sink.
While the cooks were chinese, the dish washers were illegal Mexicans. I once spoke in broken Spanish how much he got payed. It was $100 a week for like 60 hours a week.

Despite all this, it was a very amazing job. People tip more for sushi then for pizza. I would make $100 in untaxed tips for 3 hours on a weekend. Eventually I got the idea to start getting some underlings to cover for the shifts I didn’t feel like working. I had about 5 friends that I would manage their shifts, leaving the best ones for me. It was so awesome.

One day I was bored and decided to go on strike. While we were getting payed a lot on weekends, weekdays were so bad on occasions. Sometimes I would make $10 for 4 hours of work. I wanted a base hourly wage of $5 on weekdays. She said no, so I got all my friends to stop going..... and then she just hired some Asians to replace us. And that was the end.
2 months later, the place shut down for health code violations. Also the wife was pregnant, last I heard from the chipper asian delivery driver, the baby came out retarded. Kinda sad.


I haven’t even went over the ptsd marine waiter or the 40 year old delivery driver. Story for another day.

>manager is trying to help get work off of my plate
are you sure about this anon? Managers say things like this, but rarely actually do anything unless you’re on their case constantly. I’ve had three managers in the past two years - each of them was great at acting like they were on my side, trying to redistribute some of my tasks. But it slid from one to the next to the next with no changes. During an interim between manager two and three, I had a year-end review with my director instead. Great opportunity - after all, workload meetings are between the director and each team leader. So I mentioned that years ago, I was told that one of my tasks would be transitioned. I mentioned that I had been told this repeatedly by each manager, and asked point blank what steps they had taken to shift my workload.

The answer?

if a nato contractor attmpts to change the terms of a contract for an employee stationed overseas in certain areas after the employee arrives in country, they are violating about a million different laws

it turned out that KBR made me sign several things after I arrived on site, as a condition of getting lodging and various other things that were already baked into my contract, so they were in violation of contracting laws for the nato contract holder

it is somewhat common for big corps to fuck over contractors by getting them in country then getting them to sign away certain rights they enjoy, and it is considered a form of "human trafficking" by many countries

A suit jacket from there can cost $1000. You gotta wait for sales to get an entire suit for under a grand. I would until December. Every day they offer like 50+ percent an item and one of those days are suits. I own probably 10 or more shirts from brooks brothers and their quality is amazing. Once you wear a dress shirt by them, every other dress shirt fits like shit. Even still, you'll need to get your suit tailored if you want to look your very best. It won't cost you more than a 100 bucks at a GOOD place. Make sure its an Asian or Italian family that owns that place or else you'll get shitty quality.

>Mother of the special needs guy I work with asked me to work another day a week
>I say no
>If I work more than two days I can't collect unemployment


MFW I have collected 12,000 USD worth of unemployment this year. I got it all in one lump sum and invested it all into crypto this year. Thanks coronavirus. I also moved into my parents house while I am waiting for my crypto to pay off. I have a girlfriend and it is just /comfy/ mode until things start to pop off.
No need to wage friends. Even before this job where I just watch TV and play video games with my buddy all day, I only took jobs like lifeguarding where you just sit around doing nothing all day and get higher pay for it.
There is absolutely NO reason to be a wagie unless you don't use your brain. I just refused to take jobs that were low pay or would make me miserable. Look where I am now. I have low taxes because I don't work enough, I have 8k+ in crypto and I barely work. I probably will get more backpay from unemployment when the coronavirus act gets extended after the election. Life is comfy and yours can be do if you stick it to the man and don't let yourself be cucked. Don't take or do any job you don't feel like doing. Simple as that.

No, always put middle management and HR in their place as much and as often as possible.
They won't bother you if you create more work for them. They're in middle management because they are shit at your job and too incompetent for anything above them.
If you generate more paperwork then they're willing to do, they'll move on to someone who thinks HR is actually worth a damn and not a bunch of flunkies who are there to prevent lawsuits.

Most supervisors are. Your average sup cannot do the job or doesn't want to but has no real skill to excel beyond it. So they avoid work by being in charge of people who do the work better. So the lower people don't have much respect for the Sup because they know he's incompetent and his superiors know they promoted an incompetent person because nobody else wanted the job.
Every so often being shit on from both ends causes sups to lash out and reveal how fucking retarded they are and well, case in point putting someone with no qualifications behind the wheel of expensive equipment because that's the decision he made and going back on it makes them look weak.

Where I live we have living wages. The issue is that some costs here are high. I guess there are tradeoffs with having a living wage. Regardless inflation isn't even bad here.

I've stuck around for a year here alongside 3 other people, yet I'm getting shit all back. In January its gonna suck harder because we will be overstaffed. She said to me at one point that she will be asking me first if there is anyone sick. Yet when my friend is sick i get no call nothing.

Bros, this thread is making me fucking scared. I am about to graduate this fall at 25 years old with a business administration degree and my only experience is working as a waiter and in fast food and I've been unemployed for almost 1.5 years.

I haven't even applied or started looking for any jobs. I don't know how the fuck I am going to work 40+ hours a week and I hate small talk and corporate culture. What the fuck do I do

Ahem allow me to say one thing

This will all come crashing down, if you are middle class you are fucked. WFHfags enjoy your paradise for now

If you aren’t Upper Class you are fucked. You cannot survive the slaughter, the lower class will be fucked but they won’t see it as bad since they already suck. They’ll also jack off thinking that the wealthy will have gotten theirs(I.e YOU the scapegoat)

If you know a trade you’ll have a lovely time as a serf and will be respected among all the other serfs. If you work a job that is pointless and offers nothing to the world, I am sorry.

If you have farmland, then you should be able to weather the storm.
If you live in rural areas(deep Alaska), you’ll also be fine

If you live in any of the 4 corner states, you need to leave immediately.

If you don’t own a home now, you most likely never will.

This is all if your American btw but the ramifications will be global but not as bad for China and Israel.

You’ve been warned.

doing all the work is different from having leverage and access to resources. This is how people are kept in their place, not just as companies and their workers but scales to a state and its citizens.
