Unemployed :/


So as of Saturday March 19th I have no longer been employed. I quit my job after I discovered they shorted my paycheck by 31 hours. Yes folks, 31 hours, and at 20 bucks an hour thats over 650 dollars, minus taxes of course. When I brought the issue to their attention, they provided minimal response and didn't even appear to write anything down! "We'll get you paid." Well we will find out this Friday when I go pick up my last check.

That had been preceded by long days in which they tried to coerce me into lying about so their overtime charts would look good. The management had apparently been screwing people out of overtime by adding the extra hours into the next week and scheduling the employee for less hours that week. The things you overhear on your first days in a new job are amazing!

Not to mention, during these long days,  I ran out of gas in the company vehicle twice after requesting to fill up the tank. "Nahh you'll be fine," they don't really care apparently. Seeing as how most of the management is senior, i would expect them to know better with 20 year old vehicles. When you call them from the side of the road and they give you an attitude about YOU being stranded, it really kills your moral.

Absolute worst job I ever had in my life, hardly worth the pay. There no way I could force myself to work for such ignorant, shady, and disorganized management. The kicker is that I left a job that pays more than what I seem to be qualified for at this moment. I have put in over 20 applications in the last week, but have not heard anything promising.
