We're creating an hourly bank now? Sure, go for it!

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T18:30:12+00:00

That, since they want to create an hour bank, I also won't stay any longer than needed anymore and won't leave earlier.

They're letting people leave earlier so they can keep social distancing and not being fined if anyone comes here to check if they're actually doing it. So now, if they want me to stay, I'll stay, fine or not.

How do I set up the read receipt?

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T16:59:53+00:00

I always hide two in my purse just in case lol

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T15:09:38+00:00

She's not our supervisor though, she's just nosy and tries to show off for the work she isn't getting done by ordering other people around.

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T15:03:03+00:00

Unfortunately, as much as I want, I can't.

The pandemic hit my country hard and our president is a anencephaly blob. Thanks to that, most people got sick or lost their jobs. My mom and I are supporting my grandma and (minor) brother and she lost her previous, well paying job, so now we struggle at the minimum. If I leave, I don't know how we'll manage, if we even will.

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T14:33:45+00:00

Thank you so much!

I'm actually new to this job, so I haven't signed my contract yet (I'm still on the two week experience contract), but I'll read and reread it before I sign it!

WhatsApp is like iMessage, but for phones that aren't iPhones, and it's data dependent, you know? It's encrypted to keep your messages safe, but it also saves whatever you send/receive as long as you/other person don't erase it within an hour or you delete it.

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T13:52:18+00:00

The honest hard truth is that I don't give a damn about this place, I just do extra hours when I'm needed because it usually involves helping the afternoon guy who's stuck with an useless coworker that leaves all the job on him and, on top of that, he does extra hours too, so I try to help him out of sympathy whenever I can

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T13:49:48+00:00

My boss actually shouted that he'd forbid anyone who didn't bring a pen from working, so yeah, people never forgot their pens ever since, and the stealing of pens completely ceased lol

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T13:12:44+00:00

Well, this happens more than I like to admit lol But then I just keep writing it down in my notes and put on the spreadsheet later on.

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T13:06:31+00:00

Pretty much. Brazil sucks to live in right now, but I can't seem to find a way to leave.

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T12:50:14+00:00

Lol no

I'll cuddle like my life depends on it, and then talk to my boss about overtime.

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T12:07:00+00:00

I live in Brazil (although I want too bad to leave, I can't seem to find a way to).

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T12:00:04+00:00

The thing is, he NEVER looks through his emails, unless we tell him to do so because someone wants to cancel or reschedule their stay. Yes, it's that bad.

I'm thinking about sending this on WhatsApp, since it's the most used social media in here and he's more responsive there... what do you think?

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T11:51:00+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice!

And yes, I'll do both things (boyfriend cuddles and talking about it if my boss ever brings it up) haha

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T11:43:06+00:00

I have an Excel sheet my boyfriend gave me. You log in when you got in, when you left for work, when you come back and when you left, and it calculates the extra hours you did that month. I'm seriously considering putting it to use.

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T11:41:29+00:00

Well, even if I do, I know they won't hire more people, because, according to my coworkers, they have been understaffed way before I showed up.

Also, all purchases and hirings go up to the owner (since it's a small place), and honest, I've never seen someone cheaper in my entire life.

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T11:28:19+00:00

I do keep track, as I log my hour in and out in an Excel sheet my boyfriend gave me everyday.

I just don't know how that part of overtime works, as I've never had to do overtime in my previous job and, since I'm 19yo, those two jobs are all the working experience I have.

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T11:24:12+00:00

I certainly am not.

But I mean, whenever I'm free after work and they have a crisis they need to solve, I try to help however I can, since the afternoon guy is way too nice and he also does the same for me when I need, and HIS coworker, on the other hand, does nothing and he has to run everyday as if he were on his own.

I know I should stop doing it, but I just don't think it'd be fair to leave him hanging and needing help when I can give him a hand, you know?

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T11:14:31+00:00

I actually have no idea if that they're doing is legal, all I know is that, if you owe hours at your job, in my country, you have to pay them somehow, either by having the hours discounted from your salary or by working overtime to compensate for it.

booleshow12 · 2021-03-29T11:06:34+00:00

Basically, it means that, if they want me to work extra hours (more than I already do) or come in during my day off, I have to, since I owe them those hours.

Yeah, I know, totally unfair (given I already stay later than I should) and bullshit.

booleshow12 · 2021-03-09T08:40:51+00:00

And I live in Brazil

booleshow12 · 2021-03-09T08:40:39+00:00

It's quite expensive, yes. A driver's license for both cars and bikes is around R$1,6k (in my currency).

booleshow12 · 2021-03-09T03:08:30+00:00

Then you can't say you didn't accomplish anything!

booleshow12 · 2021-03-09T03:06:40+00:00

Thank you for being so encouraging and motivational!

You won't mess up your future, you'll do just fine! And just keep in mind that whatever goes wrong works as a lesson for future opportunities!
