Yes, but some of us know that the work conditions we provide and the pay we offer are better. So when an employee gave me the what are you going to do, fire me?, thinking they were not replaceable, i replied. Even i am replaceable, as the owner, so if you don't like it, there is the door. He didn't leave, and he quickly returned to being the great employee he had originally been. In honesty, I didn't want to do his job if he left, but we can't have prima donnas in my work, or the team fails.

Then I got sent to the office for disrupting class by, uh, walking in an open door, being told to get a tardy slip, and saying "I've already got one"? 2 weeks later was christmas break, I showed up exactly once in that time span, 15 minutes late with a tardy slip and dr's note in hand, the latter ripped up and thrown out in front of my face, the former was neither glanced at nor taken from my hand when offered.

The final straw was when my grandfather came to pick me up because I had 3 strikes and visits to the Principal’s office. He stood there while I was forced to stand face in a corner. He listened to my teacher call my father (his son) a deadbeat parent who has a snot nosed child. She went on about how her weekends she had to see me because she taught my Sunday School too. She went on and on about my dad and then said to me that my dad didn’t care about me and neither did my mom. When my grandfather let her know who he was and was there to pick me up asked to speak to the Principal. He told me to sit outside, cover my ears, and hum a song. All I remember was him shouting at my teacher. That Sunday both my parents showed up to church to give her a piece of their mind and again on Monday with the Principal. I ended up with a new first grade teacher after winter break and didn’t have to go to Sunday school. My dad was the Director of the Ground Crew and Facilities of the Kennedy Space Center from 89-10. My mom was a nurse. So both worked long hours. My teacher thought my mom did drugs because my brother was 13 weeks premature in 85 and she never saw my dad at church so she made an assumption. My parents thought getting apples off the tree was a good thing because that was the reward system in Kindergarten. Also, they found I could read in first grade because my grandpa had poor eyesight and I would read the stock pages for him (he would give me a letter and I would write the numbers and symbols down and he would teach me to read it). That and the funny pages. Never had to deal with her after that semester.

When I worked at a Dunkin Donuts we had a sexist regular that would go through drive thru. He would REFUSE to speak or even look at any female worker. Literally, he would sit and wait in silence at the intercom until he heard a man's voice, at the window he would throw money at the girls and drive off with his stuff without saying anything or looking in our direction. Meanwhile if a guy was on widow he'd be talking non-stop about sports. When he would come our manager would talk the order to keep drive thru moving, however when the dude came during my managers vacation I did my malicious compliance. I did drive thru order taking, I asked him for his order, silence, asked again, silence, asked again, silence and this went on for about 10 minutes since I refused to let a male coworker take the order. Eventually the customers behind him started screaming and honking their horns at him, the intercom is loud enough that you can hear it a couple cars back so the customers knew I was trying to do my job and this guy for some reason wouldn't answer. Eventually the sexist angrily drove away, he never came back after that (our town has 2 Dunks, a Starbucks AND an Aroma Joe's so I'm assuming he went to one of them). The first 3 customers after him were very nice and each gave us a small tip. Thankfully none of my coworkers ratted me out for that and thankfully no customer complaints were sent from that day so I didn't get in trouble. It helped that 80% of my coworkers were AFAB and have dealt with him as well as that as an "advanced crew member" (a crew member that's received a little extra training in some stations, did come with a couple pay raises) I had a small amount of respect and authority and the shift leader (a step above me and was in charge of the store while manager was away) thought it was hilarious.

At my job, they have something similar. You get paid to the nearest fifteen minutes. You can clock in up to 7 minutes early or 7 minutes late and still get the same pay. I always wondered about the legality behind that rule, but I have never questioned it because I have a habit of running slightly behind schedule and end up taking advantage of that up to 7 minutes late thing a lot. It probably evens out over the week though because the store closes at 11pm and they only schedule me until 11pm. I always end up leaving after 11 because there are ALWAYS people trying to buy things at 10:59 (earlier this week someone checked out at 11:15) when we are supposed to be doing our closing tasks.

@codahighland

3 жыл бұрын

Having spent four years working on time and attendance systems for small-to-medium businesses, I can speak to the legality of it. It's correct to say that it's illegal to not pay for time worked. However, the punch clock is not what defines whether or not you're working. It only establishes your presence on the property. Labor laws in the US acknowledge the realities of having a shared timekeeping device used by multiple employees arriving at the same time. Since not everyone can realistically get punched in at the same time, it is permitted for employers to adjust arrival and departure times to account for potential congestion at the clock. This is intended for factories and such where you might have dozens of people working the exact same nominal shifts. However, such rounding or snapping must be done such that the adjustment to the total time on the clock should average out over time to match the real hours worked. Robbing employees of their time by systematically snapping clock-ins forward and clock-outs backward during times when they are actually working is strictly illegal. (Arguments can be made, however. If you aren't expected to actually start working right away, then that's a different matter; a company is allowed to say "punch in when you get here so the door will unlock for you, but hang out in the break room until your shift starts.") This policy of a three-minute snap only around specific times of day -- assuming you're allowed to be late within that range! -- is actually really quite reasonable based on those laws. For contrast, I saw several companies use 15-minute rounding at all times.

There were still American made items, but the ones from overseas were (lets face it) decent quality and much more reasonably priced. So, on to the story.

He settles on a much less expensive unit but states that he "aint buying no radio made in Japan". My dad assured him that this particular product isnt made in Japan .

"we dont pay you for 3 minutes after you are scheduled to start or 3 minutes before you're scheduled to leave" Well you cant write someone up for something they do on their own time, and you cant expect them to be working outside of the time you're choosing to pay them. Department of labor would be very interested in what company you worked for, your time in/out records and your pay stubs, If you're in the USA

The racism against Latin American folks is something I've seen a lot living in CA. I remember this one man loudly complaining that all the streets had Spanish names and deriding "illegals stealing our jobs" and I couldn't resist. I looked at him and sweetly said, "You do realize California once belonged to Mexico, right?" He looked at me with wide eyes and I just kept talking. "Yeah, that's why we have missions and old haciendas all over out here. As for illegal immigrants, breaking the law isn't good but they generally do so out of desperation and take the dirty jobs white Americans won't take like digging ditches, janitorial work, working farm fields, and working as low-level construction workers. So, unless you are in doing that kind of work I don't think they've stolen any jobs from you." The man just walked away. I love doing that since most people don't actually stop to think about things like that.

I’ve heard people refer to South Americans as “from the border” Ex: “They are from the border” I never knew what it meant until now because I’ve always called them South and Central Americans 😅 I’ve also seen people called Mexicans when they are from other places, so what you say makes 100% sense now. Thank you for educating me

As a Canadian, many things astound me about the states. The number of military bases, the gun violence, your healthcare. What leaves me absolutely flabbergasted is the idea that a US citizen, from a US territory the US probably fought and bled over to keep is somehow a foreigner. The amount of times I hear about Americans calling Puerto Ricans foreigners is baffling. I remember this one video where this karen adamantly refused to believe that Puerto Rico is an American territory.

That cell phone I honestly wonder if that employee just say "sure", then bring out 2-in-1 laptop to replace the phone

Company: * doesn't pay their employees* Also company: its company policy :)

It’s been over 800 days since I started watching rslash…. It’s been awhile

“You really need me, do you? Well then, I guess we could renegotiate my pay.”

The last story would be hilarious if OP tested the boundaries. Like i'll come back for triple pay and only of you fire the manager. A golden opportunity wasted.

Wait hang on, sure he might be "losing time in labour" but like.. .dude. The employee Bought something. They literally gave the company money. If they do that every time I'm pretty sure it adds up to more earned than you lose that employee checking in a couple minutes late.

For the last story, OP should've asked for a raise. After all, if he truly is so important to the business, then he should be paid like it.

For the fishing story: I would've called the guy almost every 5 minutes saying I needed to grab something or I forgot something or I needed to put something away

That guy with the boat was unfairly heaping all his anger onto the maintenance man, who isn't responsible for making policy.

YES I absolutly love waking up to Rslash

I’m so addicted to these stories thank you rslash!

We've all had managers who nitpick 2 minutes late, but never say anything when you go to lunch 15 minutes late or come back from lunch early, or stay late - all without being compensated. Jackasses!

I've always had a problem with that policy. There is a TV in our breakroom, which is showing Company-related things (we don't control it) and it's always on, so we are forced to watch it during our lunch...when we're not punched in. In other words, they are forcing us to work off the clock. That's a big no-no, but no one ever did anything about it. I ate my lunch in my car.

About the tv story...it was in the breakroom and it can be used by the working during break, so "personal entertainment", I guess. But, if u can't use it for "personal entertainment", how can u possibly use it?

If his boat fits entirely in the driveway, let him have it. If it fits, it sits.

"My life doesn't revolve around YOUR sleep schedule" *Your skill in Destruction has reached 100*

So the company committed wage theft and then said it was company rules? Yeah no. I’d file a lawsuit

As a manager, I don't understand why some don't want to cooperate/ get along with their employees. My experience has been if you're good to them they're good to you. If you have their back they'll have yours. 🤷 Maybe it's just different in beauty shops

We get paid for the minutes we work and my boss told me off for coming in early and clocking in early. So then I made a point of coming in on the dot and then got told off for coming in late. You just can't win sometimes.

Man I can't stand that "you're 12 seconds late! are you TRYING to get fired?! I'm gonna have to write you up for this, DO BETTER!" when the employee in question works 30 minutes to an hour unpaid after their work day is over.

I had a boss at a previous job get mad at me for being 30 seconds late. Thing is I got to work on time but there was a line at the clock in machine and the person at the front didn't know how to use it which held everyone up. Thing is the clock in machine was directly next to my area so my boss could clearly see what was happening. When I finally got to my spot 30 seconds late she yelled at me. When I explained the situation she said "you should have planned accordingly and gotten here early" like... Lady the doors into the building are locked up until 5 minutes before each shift and only stay unlocked for 10 minutes. There's no way to get there early. Luckily I was switched out of that area pretty quickly. I heard later on that area came under investigation later on for "mistreatment of employees" and some of the managers were fired. Justice served I guess lol

I had a manager that litterally said to the whole department "you can't show off the graphics of a computer when people are looking to buy a gaming computer." Gaming PC sales dropped by 75% and gaming accessories by 85%. After that they stopped micromanaging our demos.

It's funny how the people who pettifog about minor losses on clocking in a minute or two or "waste" an office supply all while embezzling big time. Do they not realize the extra scrutiny they put on other is going to come back to them?

That's a very asinine excuse to withhold making copies of the key

I left my last job due to the whole "If you don't like it, then quit." mentality. My supervisor and I constantly tried to get the owners to fix various issues with the sales team not knowing anything about what they were selling and our machines needing an overhaul since we could barely keep them functioning while they constantly demanded higher quality results. My supervisor finally had enough and we had a meeting with the owner and management that basically informed them that my supervisor was putting in his two weeks and I, the only one that had been trained to keep the shop running the way he did, was looking for a new job. They ended up making me a lot of promises that things would change and the machines would get fixed. They let my supervisor go before his two weeks were up and made me the new foreman of the shop with two employees under me. They kept a few of their promises since they were easy and cheap, but the machines never got the maintenance they needed, everything remained in an unsafe state, and the sales team got worse and worse. All the while, I'd completely re-arranged our shop, improved productivity, and reduced the number of mistakes on the line. Despite all this, I was constantly harassed about getting product out faster and not turning away damaged and low-grade materials from our distributers. I pointed out that we didn't have the time or tools to produce quality product with sub-par materials, but was overruled. All the while, the guy in charge of ordering the materials for my shop constantly tried to override my decisions on how to handle issues or hand projects that had to do with my departments to those that had nothing to do with it, or the training to handle it. No matter how much he disrespected and harassed me about productivity, he constantly tried to act like we were friends and got angry when I wouldn't socialize with him and kept everything professional. Every time I would point out that a lot of the problems would be solved if they would just keep the promises they made to me when I got promoted, he would just say "That's how it is everywhere, Moose. You might as well get used to it, because nothing's ever going to change." Looking back, it seems like he was trying to discourage me from leaving the hell that I knew in favor of a hell that I didn't. After one last argument with this guy, I got called into the office by the owner to discuss my attitude problem. When I pointed out that the guy was trying to order me around like he was my supervisor even though I was SPECIFICALLY told that he wasn't when I got promoted, the owner informed me that he was, in fact, my supervisor, and I would have to get along with him. I interviewed for a new job at a higher pay rate that same week. When I put in my two weeks notice, they acted surprised and tried to promise me that the changes were in the works. I simply told them "My supervisor has informed me that nothing is ever going to change, so I'm not going to waste anymore time waiting on empty promises." They let me go the next day, and I got to start my new job the next week. Unfortunately, the supervisor was right. I live in Florida, so most jobs are the exact same way.

That “company policy” violates federal labor laws in the US. You must be paid for every single minute you work.

I plug in my NES Classic into the TV at work and my manager doesn't mind as long as I am back from lunch on time.

The dsp job description is so true the managers view u as disposiable but not disposible all at the same time

i've litteraly been waiting since the the last episode said it was made 20 hours ago.

Didn't mean to be so cheeky with the maintenance guy. He didn't want this either.

In the story of OP finds out that he had to park his fishing boat at a lot at end of the street (and at his home). Then finding out the lot gets locked, and having to call the maintenance guy to get it unlocked. When OP asked for the maintenance guy's phone number, I was expecting OP being told that they couldn't give OP that phone number.

One of the stories reminded me of this: Several years ago, my team was working on a big project. They were struggling with a section of the work and I had a week vacation scheduled to start the Thursday before the weekend. Since I knew they had a time crunch to finish and they had to work on Saturday, I volunteered to come in on Saturday and made sure their plans were to leave by latest 14:00 since I had plans of my own. I accidentally overslept and got to work at 9.45am (on a Saturday) and also let my manager know that I overslept and will be right there. By 17:00 with no end in sight and me mostly twiddling my thumbs but not allowed to leave "just yet", Ive finally had it. At this point I have been asking to leave since 14:00 but given excuses. My manager said that if I didnt want to be there then I didnt have to be, so since I volunteered to come in on a Saturday, on my vacation (with no overtime or pay), I decided to leave. Missed all of my plans with friends and my gf at the time kept hounding me as well. As I was driving to the (now already coming to and end) BBQ event, I received a text message from my boss to check my email. I checked, and it was a written warning for disobedience and coming in late to work. I quit soon after securing another job. Asked me if it was about money, but instead of having the balls to say that Im quitting because of being written up on my vacation and volunteering to come in to help on a weekend with agreed-on time that I will be leaving at, I just said "No, Id like to move closer to family" I actually took a lower paying job where I wasnt working 16 hour days and weekends, and actually appreciated the amount of effort I put in when staying late or volunteering to come in. Somehow the new company didnt care if I came in late or overslept when I volunteer to come in on my vacation days to help out, nor did they care that I came in late if they knew I was up till 1am the morning working.... The company I left (after 5 years) ended up closing shop 2 years later. Who knew that with all the work and expertise I brought to the table, that they would struggle (I did, I knew). But sure, praise the "clock watchers" for coming in at 7am sharp and leaving at exactly 4pm and "not my problem now, I can look at it tomorrow" attitude, while I was at work from 7.15am till 10pm (mostly later)

"I don't understand why managers insist on being so mean for no reason" Because they have power, and power corrupts. For some people, it only takes a little bit of power, like the managers in this video. Food for thought the next time anyone is thinking about giving any control over to any government.

Wow, this one should be labeled 'disgruntled employees'. What a joke. Every single one of these people should be fired!

2:45 This looks like a job for... BOLTCUTTERS! :D Hey look, turns out I *_did_* have the key!

at risk of sounding entitled, I wanted to point out that the plunky piano background registers like a sonar sound on my phone speakers and sets my dog and me off in the night while I'm autoplaying videos. love the channel!

DUring the 80's 90's you had business schools teach that if you are not an AH you are not an effective manger

Everyone have a great day! Stay hydrated. 💕

the guy in the boat story would 100% be the bad guy if it was told from the perspective of literally anyone else involved

Me: *pulls phone out of pocket to check the time* Supervisor: "Ex-CUSE me, that is SO unprofessional of you to be on your phone all goddamn day while there are customers that need help! You need to--oh, hey, I got a text!" *tap tap* "Heh heh. Cats exist." *hides in back to mess around on her phone for 3 hours*

That last guy/girl should have asked for a raise

I don't understand how it's legal for employers not to pay their employees for time on the clock. It shouldn't matter if it's in the policy that way, they can't trim your hours without talking to you.

That last stort: I would have said " cool I want a raise." They obviously needed OP so they should have to shell.put to get them back.

I worked for a company about a decade ago that moved to a different location, and the owner ended up waiting at the door to see if I was late. Once I was 5 minutes late because of traffic, and he threw a hissy fit about it. A few weeks later, he got mad that I was taking longer lunches, even though I was there first all the time then, and was the last to leave. After that, he got pissy about a few other stupid things. I have owned my own business before, and have an insane network of people, including executive contacts at fortune 100 companies. This set me up to be able to pull in a $3.5+ million/year client for the company. The owner offered me a $500 gift card to pass it on to him. I laugh, take a vacation for an out of state interview, come back, and resign before the company I interviewed with gave me a job offer. Granted, that next company's owner was just as bad, but my current one is amazing, and I also have open job offers with 2 other companies that love me to death and appreciate their employees, giving them the ability to just get things done, and not worry about the clock. (I tend to work best early in the morning and late at night, middle the day I seem to always get distracted easily, so I normally do 4-6 hours work sessions when I wake up and before I go to bed.)

ya companies cannot control ppl having fun in the break room like that. as long as noone is drinking or doing drugs, damaging shit, or beating the hell out of each other, then nothing is wrong. ever

Everyone has cellphones. Why is he so uppity about people checking them during their downtime? It's the employees personal phone not the company's

He thinks the TV might disappear and security mysteriously has no footage of it? Where does he work where that happens? A federal prison in Manhattan?

Butthole manager: "If you don't like it here, then quit!. employee: Quits BM: *surprise pikachu*

"There on break time, in the break room, doing something they have fun." okay me and the coworkers are gonna start rollin up!

If you have an employee willing to take a mile more for the sake of your company, seriously, just don't make that person life more difficult as long as it's not illegal... When that person gone, you're the one who'll get screwed anyway...

I have a gut feeling that, on the second story, the maintenance person either had one very lively and heated discussion with the HOA or whoever ran that neighborhood complex or he decided "Fuck this bullshit, even I hate this bullshit policy," so he left the gate open with zero fucks given towards the HOA or whoever ran that neighborhood.

I think he just never put the lock back on.

HR: I like your style, would you like a promotion?

So Mr. Douchebag here decided to take out his anger on the maintenance man? Classy. Edit: I would have just declined the phone call, never to accept again. Edit 2: "My sleep schedule doesn't revolve around your need to fish." *Leaves*

They force you to put a boat/trailer in a gated lot and refuse to give you a key? Angle grinders solve many problems.

The last story if I was going to come back to that company I would have also made it a point to either get a raise or have all the other employees that have been lazy get a performance preview.

How can the boss expect the employee to be in the department at 7 when they need to clock in and then walk to their department. Depending on how large the store is that could take several minutes

I understand the logic for the gate but that's what cameras are for XD the keys would of been useful but yeah very stupid XD

I’m in college for business management and administration, you are taught yearly that you are supposed to treat your employees as a manager as equals not as toys robots or slaves. It’s really hard for managers to not get power hungry and just do the job they were given.

The story with the OP clocking in at 7:02a. That policy of not starting pay for 3 minutes after clicking in doesn't sound legal at all

Stories like the 2 minutes late one is why, if I can at all help it, I will never work retail again.

"Good morning! Nice day for fishing, ain't it! Hu ha!"

I get a lot of shit for going home during my break. I told them that, unless they are paying for my break, I'll go wherever the fuck I want.

The maintenance guy gave up so quickly lmao I thought he would have started complaining after a week or something. But nope. All it took was one time lmao

I work for a company that felt it would be a nice gesture to put an arcade machine in the breakroom, one of those Galaga Arcade 1-Ups. Less than 2 weeks later its gone because "people were spending too much time on the machine and not working" which basically meant someone ruined it for everyone because they were having 20-30 minute breaks instead of 15 because of that game.

I once worked in a place that I absolutely loved, and I was soo proud to have the chance to work there. In total I worked there for 5 years, and for about 4 of them, I absolutely loved it. I mean, you have good days, and bad days. But that last year I worked? The people I worked with, my co-workers, managers, just made my life a living hell. One specific example, I had an issue with an urgent project. I had begged my co-workers for help, and not one would lift a finger for me, which sucks balls, as they all would come to me if they needed anything. For almost nearly 5 years, I have helped anyone that needed, and this one time I need something done that I cannot do, not one person would help me. I had done my 8 hours for the day and decided, fuck it. Im out. Manager calls me screaming, as im on the way home. "HOW DARE YOU only work the hours you were paid. HOW DARE YOU leave before the project was finished." I explained the problem, how to fix it, and that noone would help me. He was screaming I come back and fix it now. Now this was the only time I ever stood up for myself. I told him "sure, i can be there in 15minutes, but you better have my final paycheck ready for me to collect because if I come in now, I wont be in tomorrow. ", Now I kinda forget how the conversation ended but he was like, hang on a minute, let me call you back. I just sat in the car, not sure if I was driving home, or driving to work. It took about 10 minutes, and he called to say they fixed it. I dont know why it took them that long. Its faster to fix it then to pick up the phone and call me. Seriously. (reason I couldnt fix, it needed tools and machine in another section that wasnt mine. I came in the next day, I had already told them I was leaving but was sticking around to give them time for training replacements, and the next day I just re-affirmed that the instant they hired replacements and they were trained up I was gone. In total I gave them about 6 months notice. In hindsight, I kinda of wish I had just gone back, gotten the final paycheck, and just done a mic drop, walked out, or at least demanded more then minimum wage.

The last story, he should have waited to get a raise!!!

Fun fact: there’s about 28 countries in Latin America counting to a population total of about double of the US population, the entitlement on those people is really showing their ignorance.

Does anyone think that if nothing happens to that TV that OPs manager might try to get them in trouble for being late from their break or something? Like, I'd be overthinking everything. Lol

I'm so obsessed with watching his content that I've run out of videos to rewatch again.

The op with the bad boss is how you lose good workers. I used to come out onto my line in the factory I work in 15 minutes early unpaid just to make sure everyone had their screws, they had parts on their racks, line was clean, ect ect but then my boss said I needed to start running the masters that tell the machines what parts are and aren't good when I came in even though he came in before I did so I started coming in later and not clocking in until 5 minutes till clock in time.
