Raev Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) Commission jobs are horrible. +1 I'm paid that way. Edited July 31, 2009 by Raev
n0Mad Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Waitress/waiter pay is still only $2 and some odd change, per hour. I don't know how this can be legal. Just imagine trying to live off that, after a bad week of tips. This is why I will NEVER work in food service again. Especially since there is a lot of side-work involved. It's basically slave labour. X1023 I refuse to work for tips or commission. I want my pay to be based off my work and not the whim of some person. Michael, you're a great guy and you know your worth, and you're worth a lot more than that steaming pile of offal.
Shade Everdark Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 How incredibly loathsome. Your now ex-boss is a perfect example of why I despise humanity. Here's hoping your new workplace treats you like you deserve--i.e., much better.
Reaper Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 You're never going to be rid of your anger and resentment until you swallow your pride, go back there, and shit in your boss's desk when he's out of the office. Complimentary hot lunch. My sentiments exactly. I hope they go through their own rough time and the boss has to be laid off. heh. Bastards
TygerLili Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Yep, Karma tends to rectify these situations. While, unfortunately, it won't happen soon enough to do you any good, I am certain your former boss will get what's coming to him. Your ex, too, come to think of it. But if you really can't wait, then Mean Salley's plan is always an option.
n0Mad Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 But if you really can't wait, then Mean Salley's plan is always an option. Maybe we could get Chernobyl to illustrate it for us using MS Paint. She did such a great job with the Cleveland Steamer.
peelingchrome Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Hey, E, sorry to hear about all of that. I finally got to meet you camping, and I have to say you're a truly good person. You don't deserve that kind of crap. In fact, imho, that is exactly the type of crap that is making our world as terrible as it is. When a person is punished for doing the right thing (putting in notice for leaving a job) and rewarded for doing the wrong thing (profiting off of being a sleazy bastard) I call that ass-backwards and epically shitty. Where's John Galt when we need him?
the eternal Posted August 3, 2009 Author Posted August 3, 2009 Thanks everyone! I'm now getting mentally prepared for new job tomorrow morning. It has a base pay of $1500/mo! Don't get too jealous all at once now. It is supposed to be more stable and consistent. We shall see.
