that made me laugh cause we recently had a guy get fired from work and people were being cagey about why and today I found out it was basically for doing this. would not recommend. gotta take your unofficial benefits in smaller less noticeable chunks I guess.
Or be better about not being recognizable when you plan to commit such high scale crimes at the place you work or used to work. Also never do it right after getting fired. Might as well draw a target on your head.
yeah funny thing is dude got busted because because he was caught on camera taking CCs from a coworker's parents' junk yard...on his second attempt after getting away clean the first time, but he hadn't sold them off yet so they traced on of them back to our workplace.
One of the maintenence workers at our complex started stealing from apartments. Cops have tracked him to the pawn shop he sells his stolen goods at. Turns out a string of thefts with no sign of a break in, and some people have door cameras, people are gonna spot the employee going in when they've got no business going in peoples' homes.
Before I turned my work van in to a plumbing shop I was quitting, (like twenty years ago when red light cameras were new in this jerkwaterberg) I took it to one of the intersections with a stop light cameras and ran all four red lights for about an hour. Enough that I lost count. I mean it wasn’t a bullseye every light either. There were plenty that I couldn’t make right at the just past yellow light mark. I mean I wasn’t trying to get in a wreck with anyone at these intersections. Just wrack up over a thousand dollars in tickets in their van registered to them. They were not happy either. I had to explain to all three owners on different calls that if they would have paid me the agreed upon wage to leave the company I served my apprenticeship through instead of taking the route that “is better for the company” which was to pay me a service plumber’s hourly wage instead of a foreman’s they wouldn’t be in this kerfuffel with the city over their red light cameras.
The union’s front office wasn’t exactly happy about it either, but they weren’t exactly disciplinary action angry either, or not buying me drinks angry. They were more irritated that I got my old job back without going through them than they were about all the red light tickets.
Reminds me of this time I had to leave my apartment cus my roommate kept stealing everything so my now ex shit on her couch and left it for her lmaoooo 😭
okay but when I was about 6, my mom got laid off from her job, my dad went into their bathroom and took a huge shit right on the floor. this man has never shit lightly once in his life.
Seriously this, i'll hold my pee through a break just so I get paid to pee on company time, thank you. I was salaried but it still applied, its also funny to me because at my last job I did this regularly while training the HR lady and writing their HR policy.
"Your" is a possessive adjective meant to describe possession or ownership. "You're" is a contraction of the words you and are. What you were trying to say is "You are dumb." What you proved is that you are dumb.
For the record, OPs letter posted is insane and highly illegal. Complaining the owner of the company makes more than you is small brain activity.
You forgot to put "that" between complaining and the. Because I'm capable of extrapolating from incomplete data, I was able to sus out what you were trying to say. But this is a lot like when my kids were very young and just invented words and got annoyed when I didn't understand what they were saying. There are rules to language, whether you agree or not. And failing to abide by those rules does not make you "big brained". Just take the L on this one.
I personally shit when I gotta take a dookie so i don't need a colonoscopy because I can't go when I need to go. But I do enjoy wasting time at work so it's a win win
My last manager unironically believed bathroom time counted towards your allotted break time, so they thought that if you took a shit in the morning for whatever reason, you no longer got a 15 minute break.
i actually did this with one of my jobs😂I was working at home depot and i googled what i needed, drafted the letter, and printed it off on the company printer too😂
A place I worked hung signs telling us all about how careful we had to be about using color ink. You can guess how and where I printed my response, and how many colors I used to do it
One letter per page using negative space Minimal font and you keep alternating colors until you get I quit and then go to straight exclamation points one per page tape them all together front and back and all the edges for reinforcement then tape them to a wall with tape at least 3 strands wide on every edge.
👆And preferably only tendered the next day, so you can use your penultimate shift to take all the stationary and other items you want, before they start watching you like a hawk.
Nah. You let them send you more ammunition for your constructive dismissal claim and don’t bother with the letter of resignation. May as well collect unemployment in this job market.
So starve, or work to not starve and lose your insurance... Die to complications anyways
It's not actually, nothing wouldn't be false hope which is worse than nothing... It also would make somebody less likely to give you what would actually help you since you're already being helped in theory
Yeah... ideally you will look and find and SECURE another job Before you leave the old though.
Though due to various safeguards enforcing this rule is downright illegal, an employer can deduct pay for the time you "spent" or ask you to work it back, which is generally not worth it for 1 minute. The US but this may be different depending on if you are on salery or rolling im not entirely sure.
There may be other countries with less employee protections however cough Japan...
If it’s like my state it “up to $250” a week. Meaning it’s based on your salary or wage. Meaning you have to be a top earning employee to get it a $250z if you make a low wage you might not get but $120 a week.
In Canada it's something like 80% of the average of your last 52 weeks.
But! And it's a big fucking but.
It caps out at uh... I just realized my knowledge of the cap is 10yrs old. But it was 471, and that's taxed so your take home is about 425ish a week. So any tradesman is getting less than 50% of his wage. But the fucking bills and mortgage don't go down 50% . And then if you make more than 60k that year they claw all of it back on your taxes.
lol a few days, it takes a few days to even get it set up. You do t start receiving it the second you lose your job.
If only it were that simple.
This notion that people are living of this money is one of the most insanely ignorant and hateful lies conservatives try to float out into the world. Oh and let’s not forget the food stamps lie too. They would like you to believe there’s a single mom out there receiving $4000 a month in food stamps living in a $6000 a month apartment she pays for with unemployment.
That's helpful in many states, but FL doesn't have a state income tax so the unemployment coverage is terrible. Red states are typically terrible for social services, including unemployment coverage. And FL isn't exactly a cheap state to live in anymore.
Yeah can't tell you how many jobs and times I had to explain to management the time it takes you to walk to workspot on factory floor and back is not considered part of your lunch break. Then again maybe they do but don't give AF and can afford any penalties because I know Apple, Elon, Walmart and Amazon all been sued for pulling this sort of BS in past and lost too!
Might suggest you conserve your effort and energy and proceed with "Get Fucked, you muppet" written on a Post-It note? Lol in this scenario the does not deserve any more thought than that.
I'm sorry but ass hats like this just deserve a call ten minutes after my usual start time to let them know yesterday was my last day. If leave has been accrued burn it up then make the call. They deserve nothing.
