Stupid Bosses

Is it legal for your boss to start you at a wage, make you accountable for more and more work, then decrease your wage?

My boss started me at a certain wage which we never really agreed upon. He told me (within reason) to name my wage. He said its easier to pay employees a good solid wage and keep them around for a long time, than to give them poor wages and have a quick turn over.

Well, he started me at a certain wage which wasnt really want I asked for (a bit lower). Then we had a change in payroll and I noticed I was earning LESS than I normally made.

Months later, and I mean months……. I saw a $1 decrease per hour on my pay check and my boss did NOT notify me. This might be legal but its not ethical. I’m glad I actually paid attention to my pay stub. Im sorry but $1 per hour less is significant when you take into consideration gas prices and all.

Stupid Customers

Me: “Thank you for calling ***, this is Bill in the breast aesthetics department. How may I help you?”

Customer: “My left boob popped.”

Me: “Okay, so the implant failed?”

Customer: “Yes.”

Me: “Are your implants silicone gel or saline?”

Customer: “The water kind.”

Me: “So, we’ve had a saline deflation. I need to ask you some questions in regards to how it may have deflated.”

Customer: “Why, don’t you believe me?”

Me: “Of course I believe you, but as part of making our implants even better and evaluating where under the device’s warranty this falls, I need to know what may have led up to the implant’s leak.”

Customer: “Oh, so you think this is my fault?! You make a crappy implant and you have the nerve to blame me?”

Me: “Wait, wait. First, I didn’t make your implant, my company did. I’m here to help you get this fixed in the fastest way possible and that starts with finding out how the implant deflated.”

Customer: “So you want to know what I did to screw them up, is that right? I spend a fortune on these things to be walking around with a flat tire of a tit and you think it’s my fault?”

Me: “No, ma’am. I simply need to know how to cover this under your warranty, to see how much money we are going to give you to fix the problem. We give you a check for money to fix the problem if you’ll just answer my questions. What do you remember doing when you first noticed the deflation in your breast?”

Customer: “Me and my boyfriend were playing sex hide-and-seek in the house and he thought it would be more fun if my boobs glowed. So, he used a needle tube to insert little red lights into them… what do you call those little glowing lights? It’s like three letters?”

Me: “… A diode?”

Customer: “Yes. He’s a trained professional… he uses them on animals at his job all the time.”

Me: “So, your boyfriend punched a hole in your chest and tried inserting a diode inside the implant?”

Customer: “Well, not in my chest. Just on the top side of my boob so it wouldn’t hurt. He numbed it first.”

Me: “… And this is the implant’s fault, how?”

Customer: “It started leaking and getting flat.”

Me: *laughing* “I’m sorry, can you repeat that? I’m recording this and no one is going to believe me!”

Customer: *click*

Stupid Criminals

VERO BEACH, Fla. – A McDonald’s cashier called 911 after a Vero Beach drive-thru customer allegedly offered to pay for his meal with marijuana. The Indian River County Sheriff’s Office said the cashier called Monday with a description of the vehicle the suspect had been riding in.

A deputy spotted the vehicle, found marijuana in the car and arrested its occupant, 27-year-old Shawn Alexander Pannullo.

Pannullo was charged with possession of cannabis and posted $500 bail. It was unclear if he had an attorney.

A Sheriff’s report did not say what the suspect ordered at McDonald’s or if he ultimately purchased the meal using something other than marijuana.

Stupid Bosses

My ex boss had me driving every day to different jobsites saying that he would reimburse me for gas. He also had me do non-related work like mowing his lawn and what not. I have yet to recieve a payment, and it has been over a year now since I have worked for him. To be exact, I drove nearly 3500 miles for work purposes, not including home to work type driving, and wasted my hard earned money on gas on his behalf. $7.00 an hour does not work well with gas, or vehicle servicing costs, even when you are a DIYer.
