Needless to say I was out of there pretty quick, it was a rad as hell job but i know I bust my ass off and have no patience for an employer that fucks around. Lots of businesses do this and many employees don’t have the balls to say something, presumably out of fear of losing their job that is probably vital to their lives.
This is obviously good reasoning for union protection but it’s my understanding that there’s laws in place that can be used on your own to pursue getting that fixed, or at the very least the employer paying for it (legally speaking).
The place my buddy and I used to work at paid us daily and your rate would not change whether you worked 4 or 18 hours. He got enough for a down payment on his house out of that.
