Shima Honnou posted:Actually it costs between $36.75 and $61.25 depending on the volume of that shift since they reserve the right to either send you home early by calling shift in 3 hours or keeping you an extra hour of not-overtime for a 5 hour shift. usually they offer VTO when it seems like the volume is low and then the people who don't take it end up paid a little bit more because they gotta stay longer to make up the difference. Literally everyone I've spoken to hates the management lol I work at a Amazon fulfillment center as a second job and I figured we would have to work longer every time a VTO is sent out. Mostly everyone in management is full of poo poo.

I used to be a waiter at an Italian restaurant. The owner was sleazy and would keep the tips and only give us 10 euros from it at the end of the shift, no matter how much we worked or got tipped. But he was also sleazy with the customers, our cheapest wine was 4.99, our dearest 99.99-119.99. But for 20 you could get a carafe of the 'house special'. So what was in the house special worth 20 euros? The 4.99 wine. And what was in the 119.99 wine? The 4.99 MIXED with remains of the other wines to make it taste different. Never get the house special drink wherever you are unless really cheap, its always the cheapest poo poo they can't market or get rid of.

This is why using unemployment as a sign of how well the economy is doing is complete bullshit. Anyone can get a job now (or 2 or 3) at Amazon, Uber, Postmates etc that will do nothing but wring every last drop of life out of you for the privilege of staying in your lovely apartment for another month.

Outrail posted:How do they justify paying cooks so little and dish pigs so much (relatively)? Well, first off, don't call dishwashers dish pigs. Restaurants wouldn't run without them. If I ever run a kitchen, the hierarchy will be Me>>Sous>>Head Dishwasher>>CDP's. I'm really loving bummed out that I'm skilled enough to work in a michelin kitchen but I make more money loving washing dishes. I work for a staffing agency. When a dishwasher, prep, or line cook doesn't show up, the restaurant or catering company posts a listing. The more desperate they are to fill the shift, the more they're willing to pay. I've been paid 35/hr to make chicken sandwiches because they called me up on a sunday morning like, "hey, can you come make chicken sandwiches? 35/hr." So I was like, well, I guess I'm making chicken sandwiches today.

Sorry, that's just what everyone including dishwashers call dishwashers back home. Like calling a teacher a 'chalky' , or an accountant a 'pencil pusher'.

Shima Honnou posted:I work in an Amazon routing center and our cafeteria is a self-checkout little store. It's also the place with the most cameras in the whole building. If you so much as leave that area with a single thing you haven't paid for they will track and fire your rear end on the spot. The guy who runs it keeps a spreadsheet of exactly how many of anything is in stock and checks it against the sales records every few hours. Welcome to your future. I used to work for CapitalOne and they had the exact same thing, with the added benefit that you had to load money onto a special card to use it AND you could only add the money in $5 increments. So if you just wanted to buy a soda or something, gently caress you, you need $5. I never used that poo poo. gently caress company stores.

Christ I forgot this partquote:From a hiring perspective, the RVers were a dream labor force. They showed up on demand and dispersed just before Christmas in what the company cheerfully called a “taillight parade.” They asked for little in the way of benefits or protections. And though warehouse jobs were physically taxing—not an obvious fit for older bodies—recruiters came to see CamperForce workers’ maturity as an asset. These were diligent, responsible employees. Their attendance rates were excellent. Come work for amazon, you understand what work is and will do it 'till you loving die, and we'll pay you a fraction of a percent of what your labor is actually worth to us

As it makes large sweeping motions, the arm simply pushes the colored cellulose ether fluid around the floor, splattering more of its enclosure in the process and never really making any progress."

Burt Sexual posted:Actually many jobs, it’s a company policy not law. Yeah, typically jobs close to sensitive/dangerous equipment or security clearances still involve a drug test of some sort. Or jobs with hiring requirements set by stodgier sorts. Most of the time though (in white collar work at least) it's more of a "don't be high on company time" policy with the threat of a drug test if they suspect you're not abiding by that. When I worked for the state (before they changed the policy) there was some slight irony in that using mj at all was against the org's policy, but then you'd have a slide in the quarterly deck discussing the distribution of the mj tax income in the budget.

https://qz.com/1327804/its-impossible-to-lead-a-totally-ethical-life-but-its-fun-to-try/ "There’s no need to feel bad about failing to live a perfectly ethical life. That would be counterproductive. Feeling guilty doesn’t actually make us more moral. Oxford University ethicist Carissa Veliz explains in Practical Ethics that guilty feelings about wrong actions don’t make us more inclined to do better." “When considering ethics, good and evil become limiting concepts,” Gilbert says. “Instead, it’s far more beneficial to consider our ability to make personal choices that [correspond to] either our higher or our lower nature. From that perspective evil lives in the conscious desire to act solely for oneself.”
