So two of our cats have balding by the base of their tails. Whatever the pooch has is bothering the cats now. I'm thinking mites? They did a scrape on the dog more than once but I'm thinking that might need to be re-considered now that the cats are being affected. Ga-rate.
Also, checks STILL not here. I sooo wish I would have accepted that job that started tomorrow. I didn't want to screw over the other FD people but I feel like a schmuck working for a company that doesn't effing pay me! I'm hitting the (job search) pavement hard tomorrow and so help me Cheezus if I get offered something...0 -

Oh dear Lord. Is there any way you could bark down the hole and figure our what the eff is going on with your pay checks? This is SUPER unprofessional of them.0 -
Not paying your employees is a really good way to not have employees.0

Potential Guest: It says on the thing that your rate is X.
Me: What thing?
Potential Guest: The thing on my phone.
Me...
In the end, he couldn't figure out how to book a reservation on "the thing," I knocked $5.00 off our normal rate, and everyone was happy.0 -
Booorrinnnngggg.
That is all
Lol0 -
I could...but it doesn't do anything. This has happened before. They don't give a shizz if we are upset over it. If someone quits over it...plenty of other non-skilled people are looking for a job...
I spent the last hour or so looking at places to apply tomorrow. There is nothing...sooo...I'm going to a temp service and seeing what they can help me with. I can't stay at a place that pulls bs like this...0 -
did they do the same thing to you that they did to us? change the pay dates to the first and the 15th of month, instead of every 2 weeks, without telling anyone until someone started asking question and they sent us the same email the rest of the county got november0

Nah...they just know we have no recourse...they'll get around to it when they see fit apparently...0

1 month in and im loving the 3a-11a shift....when I work it. so much OT here, I think I've only worked the normal 8 hours 3 times so far0
-
3 a - 11 a...hmm...can't say I'd like that shift...0
-
Omg...when you type like, three paragraphs and it disappears...apparently I wasn't meant to share anyway.

Here, in Texas, that shift would SUCK! 11am would be too hot to get anything done.0 -
I need peeps to check instagram bc you guys are getting requests lol. I'm bethanie911
I had no idea you guys were there except @Frankie_Felinius. And WTF with the paychecks? That's sh*tty as hell.
Nothing too exciting from my weekend. We spend all of Friday afternoon and most of the evening without power. We lost it again Saturday afternoon but it was back on within a couple hours. We were very lucky bc there were still peeps this morning without power. We got a .25 inch of ice. I posted some pics on instgram. On my ventures to work this evening, there was trees and branches down all over the place. Totally glad I didn't have to work it.0 -
i'm @prodigalhippie on IG...although most of what I end up sharing is pretty mundane.0

Sooo...I went to a temp service today and it was near my work so I called to see if checks showed up. My manager said "no, but they should be here today". Still doesn't help me out because I'll be in bed and not be able to deposit my check until Tuesday. So I text the regional manager to see if he knows what is going on. He didn't know we hadn't been paid and texted me back that the checks were on a truck in the city and they'd be there today. Apparently there was FedEx mistake in Memphis (apparently) but all of us are arguing that even if there was...don't send checks out on Thursday for a Friday payday! Pay period ends Sunday...get that shizz done and out so this can't happen...or do direct deposit.
Anyway, so my fiance looks for his check and IT ISN'T THERE. Our boss looks it up in payroll and somehow HE FORGOT TO PUT HIS HOURS IN!! So they are overnighting his check. My fiance was pissed and told the boss that he wants a paid day off for the bs and one for me too. And it was done. Frankly, ALL employees should have received a paid day off...0 -

Good Lord..are they fricken SERIOUS?!
I would be pushing direct deposit. Unless they aren't making enough to be sure they can actually pay you guys. That may be the problem.

hindsight is always 20/20, but you could've told him, "I'm afraid that rate is only available to people who can actually identify the app by name when checking in. sorry, sir, but we don't honor rates published on the Thing app."0 -
