That is illegal as all hell. Any rightful employer would report someone to the BBB for saying anything like that.

There's a guy here on the site, Emerican, that can attest to how ridiculous the company I work for can get. He worked with me for a couple years.

No employee can work more than forty hours. Ever. I've personally been scheduled right at forty hours and had to stay late a few times in the week and was forced to take a break to stay under forty hours. This has happened multiple times.

I'm continuously short staffed. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays it will be me, as a manager, and two other employees. Here's where the issues come in. When we get busy, there will be one person on the register, one person on the grill, and one person in the middle actually putting the food together. This means NO ONE is on dishes, NO ONE can wipe off tables or tend to customers. If a customer spills a drink and someone has to clean it up, then one person takes on two roles. (Middle and grill typically.) Keep in mind, I'm supposed to be a manager but on Monday - Wednesday I'm one of the three on those stations. How can I supervise/manage when I'm up to my neck in tickets? I can't check on customers, I can't do too much of anything except deal with the mass of orders.

If we don't reach a certain number in sales then I'm supposed to send someone home as soon as I can.

Then the next morning the day manager (which is my girlfriends brother) (yeah, shoot me. (-_-)) will complain about no extra work getting done. Which makes his shift have to work harder. I can't help this. I try as hard as I can to work with what I get.

All this for an average of 450 bucks every two weeks.

I need a new job. Lol

There are a million other things but I'm not gonna just sit here and complain.

Figured this is relevant to your interests here. Our Lightspeed hatchbacks came out to play

 

[emerican]

nicks right i wouldnt put it past him to say something and any bussiness i know of wouldnt report it because they would take it as the truth as figure that the company is trying to stop them from hiring a bad employee so why would they report that.

 

[takeachance]

Man some of you have some crappy jobs/employers. I have a list of questions I am allowed to ask by law and won't let anything else be said. I just call to make sure people have the background they say they do. I could care less what someone thought of them. If you say you can do coding or what not that you can't I fire you simple as that lol. Ive done it a few times. I would report anyone who says more than they are supposed to, it's quite unethical.

 

[mymmeryloss]

Business ethics...

^ that job is really the only one where the boss is super shady and would do that kind of s**t and there supposedly "good Christians" both me and nick {young} started wrking there when that one opened and the very first night manager they ever had which was a good Christian that they went to church with and all we could hear about was how she went to church with them and how good of a person she was. where she in the span of the 2 weeks she worked there she committed check fraud against the business and attempted to get workman comp from falling on purpose and the fall wasnt even hard enough for her to get a bruise. he only has 2 resteraunts, but sees himself as a serious resteraunt proffesional, which is fine, but neither one of the resteraunts are ran correctly and one makes more than the other, but neither one makes alot of money.

 

[mymmeryloss]

Worked this morning. Got off around one and am now welding in the garage.

Trying to get s**t done before the fam gets home.

Gotta be at work at 3 am tomorrow so cant stay up too late though

Sounds like the owner is a tool, but you get that with that type of situation. I was working for a small mom and pop owned place in HS(they had two locations in town). Always shady people working there, the worst being the owner's daughter who was caught pocketing cash. I would always text the owners the day's take (with a picture) to cover my ass after I became night manager. The nice things was the owners actually worked there, and would come in later in the day if need be to help out. If a small business owner thinks they are some sort of restaurant guru and doesn't have to do more than sit back and count money, they are a moron.

 

[mymmeryloss]

One of the best local restaurants owners is also the cook and waits tables also. Pretty neat to see and great food to boot!

 

[crash!]

Does it drive you crazy to hear your hair growing? Jk
That must be cool does it affect the range if you listen to the radio?

that's awful. you might as well use public transport if you want a dull ride around town

Its not dull at all! They're super cool to drive.

I want to drive a Tesla!
Glad to hear you like it! :

pretty f**king quick. It sucks you back in your seat. Its so crazy.

This job is going to be f**king awesome.

Oh, and that yellow hatch on yellow TEs that was Super Street? Yeah, one of my techs built that car we have lots to talk about.

i imagine driving a silent car is like eating food with no texture.

Time to get away from that company - FAST. Sounds like it's being run into the ground.

The 40 hours thing (if laws there are like they are here) is to keep you from being a true full-time employee. At 40 hours a week, they HAVE to offer you benefits. Considering they're a small company, that's their way to dodge the benefits bullet. I'm assuming you get 36 hours on average a week?

Everything else is just bad, bad business. If they aren't listening to you guys, the staff members, and trying to help you guys get a smoother running operation, the business is bound for failure. Just get out while you can.

nicks right i wouldnt put it past him to say something and any bussiness i know of wouldnt report it because they would take it as the truth as figure that the company is trying to stop them from hiring a bad employee so why would they report that.

Once again, it's illegal. Businesses that matter, don't conduct themselves like that on the peer to peer level.

Man some of you have some crappy jobs/employers. I have a list of questions I am allowed to ask by law and won't let anything else be said. I just call to make sure people have the background they say they do. I could care less what someone thought of them.

Exactly. When I was hiring, I had a list of questions I couldn't even hint at, essentially, and a list of guidelines on character to get out of the employer, legally. It was pretty straight forward - don't pressure them into spilling the beans about a potential employee, and stay within legal boundaries. The rest falls into place.

^ that job is really the only one where the boss is super shady and would do that kind of s*** and there supposedly "good Christians" both me and nick {young} started wrking there when that one opened and the very first night manager they ever had which was a good Christian that they went to church with and all we could hear about was how she went to church with them and how good of a person she was. where she in the span of the 2 weeks she worked there she committed check fraud against the business and attempted to get workman comp from falling on purpose and the fall wasnt even hard enough for her to get a bruise. he only has 2 resteraunts, but sees himself as a serious resteraunt proffesional, which is fine, but neither one of the resteraunts are ran correctly and one makes more than the other, but neither one makes alot of money.

There's always rotten apples in the bunch. I don't care what someone's religious standing is, that says nothing about their character as people.
