i almost worked a 13 hr shift on christmas eve. ended up being 11 hrs bc my work is *very* serious about not going into overtime

my manager came up to me that night and he was like, “sooo i didn’t realize what time you came in and imma need you to go home” and i was like BYE, BITCH

showed right back up christmas morning tho :/

That sucks

I have stayed up later than my shift cleaning at every job, around 10-20 minutes, quite often. Or helping someone finish a job we were doing together. But I don't give away my time lol.

and my phone is on 3% help

o

love how onion boy just kinda copied rep?

around the holidays, we’re given a list of 3 holidays: thanksgiving, christmas, and new year’s. you work 2/3 or all 3. you call out, you’re fired. everyone works christmas eve

you call out christmas eve, you better be in the hospital

oof

Ooof

yep. calling out on holidays is grounds for termination

I'm guessing you work retail?

yop

That explains it lol

walgreens

I work in IT on the off season, while on season I work lawn sprinkler repairs with my dad, been doing so for the last few years.

i sometimes go out and do work with my dad. he fixes radiation meters

his constant exposure to radiation is why i’m like that

he apparently got hit in the leg with a blast of radiation when he was younger, so his bone is radioactive

Wha-

I've picked some good work habits, but I also am pretty ruthless as a result lol. For context, every time my dad charges the tech charge (which is my hours of labor) is 65 dollars an hour. So I've gotten used to value my time far more than the average tbh. If I am working that's time I am not doing whatever it is I want to do lol.

Also oof

i had to get that info from my uncle bc my dad wouldn’t tell me

i fuckin have 8 uncles and 1 bio aunt left

I see

wow.

i did a lot of work off the clock at the ranch i went to bc i was genuinely cared for the family, whose only income is the ranch, and i was genuinely grateful for the opportunity

plus, what else would i do?? my house had little to no wifi and i had no data at all

ppl be like “go into town!!” town is fucking 9 miles away, u think gas comes free?

I quit and I'm back lol

Well, that's different. The family had your back. In those cases loyalty trumps hours on the clock tbh.

YAS

Y E S

i still made over $2K in 2 months

That's not bad.

yeah!! more than i’d get at walgreens!

lmao

hear hear

Oh jeez Walgreens
