I'd gladly sit in that chair vs. the poo poo-rear end chairs I sat in at Sennheiser working AOI and wave soldering inspection for 4 years. The hand-crank adjustable desks were great, though.

Fuckin hell, ok so people might remember me posting a lot last Autumn/Winter about my insane boss in the tattoo shop and the 125% turnover in staff over 2023? I've been out of there about 6 months now, still struggling to keep this new shop going and looking after a little baby at home, it's pretty nice it's a good struggle, I've been making more and more money every month since I moved here and we're hoping to have a good summer. Me and my wife are still sorting out our mortgage, you know how that goes, the bank kind of left it for a month longer than they should and you basically have to reapply? So we grab our shared accountant and he takes a look at my taxes, and goes "Whaaat the gently caress has this one done?!" So ok more background, here if you aren't self-employed, your employer pays your taxes every pay cheque, which is pretty nice, I quite like it, your employer breaks a lot of laws if they wont. After refusing to pay my taxes this way (or at all) she decided to declare it all anyway, and I was like yeah ok great. It still left me a massive tax bill from the years she hadn't which I covered myself. Turns out she declared it but didnt pay any of it? And also had me on a tax band that worked out at roughly 52%, leaving me owing something in the ballpark of €12,000 come November this year. A ticking time bomb in my taxes that I'm pretty sure I wouldn't.. I don't know what I would do honestly.. Let's not think about that? Thankfully my poor accountant was like "oh wait hang on lemme check this one legal thing I just remembered" and now thanks to it being the year we had a child it's a bill she's paying instead and we are resubmitting our application to the bank later this week. I asked if there was any way she could have fat fingered this or something and he said it's pretty much guaranteed she asked her accountant to do this to me. She didn't know we were expecting a child at the time, so she's a piece of poo poo but not like... monstrously so. We didn't want to deal with her telling me how to do a pregnancy, if you've read my old posts you'll know how much of a prick she was about this kinda poo poo, so my wife, my coworkers, my clients and myself kept it from her. I know that sounds insane, we were dealing with insanity. He says if she does call to tear my head off about it to make sure I record it because, oops doing all this wrong knowingly is fraud hooraaay! How are things going for her? Well it appears that the tattoo apprentice she got in during my final months there to replace the 2 artists who quit is no longer with her (she's tattooing in the back room of a house which isn't super great...) She recently got a Ukrainian artist in, who appears to have been displaced by the war unfortunately, she's really good and seems nice so I sent her a few job listings for better shops locally to be a poo poo. And uh yeah... we still get word down here in the new shop about her. She's been even worse to customers since we all left, so bad that we don't even really need to mention we all used to work for her, people will just be like "hey you guys work in this town, what's up with this lady?" and then we get some unhinged story about her answering the phone by yelling "I'M BUSY" and hanging up or her cancelling laser removal appointments suddenly and claiming that the machine is broken (the person in question had a few hundred euros worth of vouchers for it, which she refused to refund). The gently caress else is there? She's either stopped buying jewellery or she finally sorted out the phone number situation because I no longer get charged customs tax for her gear, and uh we are the #1 result on Google if you look for piercings locally too now  I also have a real dumb story about me getting offered my dream position in another shop in March, so much so I was looking into selling off my stock, only for them to leave me totally alone in the store over a long weekend without any guidance and them immediately firing me. That was pretty embarrassing I have to say, and sent me to a dark place, but the more I think about it the more something seemed really off about it. I'll never know because there wasnt an exit interview hoooraaay I love this industry!!! (I finally got paid for that I bought new gear for me in work) Shoehead fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Apr 24, 2024 |

Extremely wasting time doing  face while doing contractor CV reviews because the most beautiful executive time cube resume landed in my inbox.Is this what a VPs CV reads like? This is like an AI drank a data lake and barfed KPIs all over the page. How bad is his startup doing and how much is his Harvard MBA costing if he's ready to moonlight as an SAP individual contributor? How wasted is my own life if I never got a medal in hockey from the military academy?

It really doesn't have to be, but I guess there are a lot of people who 100% cannot and should not work in any other industry and now I keep on meeting them. Everyone in that other shop was cool as hell to meet and all had similar experiences with full on freaks. No idea if management wanted some sort of trial by fire and I blew it or if they'd found a better applicant after hiring me or what

Its also because the yellow one is 20€ cheaper than basic black one. Also my workplace has this brainworm about buying as hideous stuff as possible so that employees dont steal them for home use (not that matters for a chair.. i hope)

Oh yes, lemme say that she didn't know about my son but I'm pretty sure if she knew he was due and the massive issues I was hiding from her from my wife having health issues during the pregnancy and everything else going on she 100% would still have tried to gently caress me over like this. She's a hosed up person

I mean this Lady has brought you and your family in financial hardship multiple times, done countless counts of tax fraud you probably don't even know about and will 100% do so again. You should stop posting, get legal representation, talk to your IRS-equivalent with a lawyer and try to discover how much more you have gotten hosed before anything sticks to you. That Lady needs to be stopped permanently so that she can never operate a legal business or have employees again

Yeah I'm gonna see if I can send them bank statements from the weeks in question, they very handily let me know exactly which weeks. Also this is just for 2020, I claimed like 5 months of Pandemic unemployment in 2022 for example, but I know a chunk of those months she actually did her job and stopped her accountant. 2021 is a mystery.

Bank statements only prove that the money didn't go into that particular account. Not that the money wasn't received at all. Go directly to an attorney. Also, realize you're probably not the only one she has done this to. It's time to make her face the full consequences of her actions.

Completely agree, there is only an upside to working through this and fighting back. Any inquiry on your will be narrow and based on material evidence they already have that is fraudulent, responding to that and doing everything you can to hold this person accountable doesn't suddenly open your entire personal financial & tax history to further investigation.

Shoehead, if you won't do it for yourself, look at your little one and do it for them. They deserve a dad who isn't on tenterhooks waiting for the next shitnugget to hit their life I didn't do my taxes for 7 years due to a mix of depression and thinking I had to pay out of pocket for health insurance while I was unemployed for six months. The relief I felt when I went to a tax professional and got my poo poo sorted was one of the best things I've ever felt, and I actually wound up getting a lot back. Seriously just get it done, you aren't going to be hauled off to the gulag and the relief and security you'll have after will be life changing. Also you may find new gobbets of fuckery to share with us

ScreenDoorThrillr posted:love 2 be given poo poo for taking a day of leave. I have 70 days of annual leave in my account The nice thing about this is that you've got two 6-work-week vacations which you should now plan for several months in the future. Just tell your employer that you're going to be taking them, because a well rested employee is an effective employee. I will also support you actually trying to do something about this. And, if you're nervous about this, talking to an attorney or an accountant to help on your behalf is probably the best thing you can do here; they'll face what are going to sound like the difficult questions for you, even if they're probably perfectly reasonable ones.

I can't speak for the UK, but in the US the IRS is willing to get very, very fast and loose if you hand them a bigger fish to fine. My aunt worked for a real estate agency that was doing Big Serious Crime (employing realtors as contractors, which is normal, but declaring them on their taxes as full W2 employees, which is not) and the IRS was going straight for her head until she pointed this out. They sent out an auditor who looked at her personal books and sealed her case in a single day, stating that the fines her employer was on the hook for were far greater than anything she could possibly owe and plus she was a cooperating witness now. The real estate agency ceased to exist shortly thereafter.
