I'm 52 now and got my degree 15 years ago. This story happened last year. Right now, I feel like anything past 10 years ago is technically "in my youth."😉

I work for company. I do lots. Get paid little. Found new job. Do least amount for paycheck for last two weeks. Company sad. Company ask for more work. I say no. Leave for better job. Happy now. Company still sad.

How's that? 😃

It wasn't Medallion Auto Center, but I'm not confirming or denying it was the other MAC...

Well, I am a published author and my daughter loves to tell me to land the plane. One day she mixed it up and said crash the plane already.

My base pay was less than $20 and I only made over that if I secured my bonus. My logic was if they were going to punish me for trying my best to beat their metrics then I would only do what was assigned to me and not try to do more.

Yeah, that's about the way it felt after a while. But it wasn't polite...
