#one of my coworkers complained in our store’s gc about how we are already paid shit#we didn’t receive wage increases when they raised our service prices#& bc of the prices going up our tips have been suffering#she didn’t say this but we’ve also been slower than usual everywhere bc of the rising cost of living everywhere#so we genuinely aren’t getting paid the same prior to the price increase#but they’re now forcing us to take unpaid breaks even though this store is a slow store and we have a lot of down time#and taking unpaid breaks is going to descrease our paychecks which we get shit on those#and the fucking gm goes well thats just state law sweetie#she literally said sweetie and i’m like excuse me but this is not the time to be calling anyone sweetie#that is so fucking disheartening to be called sweetie in a labor complaint situatio#and my coworker goes literally show me where it says that and also the rest is true you know it’s true#and gm gets on a call w my coworker bc she’s not discussing this in a work gc#so i’m immediately texting my coworker like gm is full of shit on the law#bc in our state it’s not required for adults to take a break nor does the fed government require it#i already knew this from before but it was confirmed when i had a chapter on employee law this semester#and my coworker is fucking right we get paid shit for work that our owners cannot legally do bc they don’t have a hair license!!!#my paychecks have significantly decreased since the start of the year !!! i’m making a significant amount less than i had determined#when i stepped down!!!#i’m literally barely keeping my head above water!!! and it doesn’t help the stress in any aspect of my life!!!#but they don’t care!!! i’m 6 years into my chosen career and i’m not making shit!!! i’m barely making ends meet!!!!#if i didn’t live w my mom id be fucking homeless again like be so fucking for real rn#anyway my coworker is having a sit down w the gm and one of the owners tomorrow and we both know it’s not gonna change anything#coworker’s only regret is not doing it in the general chat so it would’ve been harder to ignore but at least she said something
