Thinking about getting my first tattoo. I want a brown tattoo, so it matched my skin tone ( I am lightskin ) i wanted gold, but apparently thats not a thing. and I wonder if its actually good? Does anyone have colors they'd recommend. I am planning on getting an Anhk. Idm getting other colors, I just think black may look too harsh on my skin if that makes sense.
Help, please ☹️☹️
Now that SYEP is ending. I put in a time sheet :
8/2/2026 - 8/8/2026
8/9/2026 - 8/15/2026
I am pretty sure I just got paid for the 8/2/2026 - 8/8/2026 one. Do we get paid for the 8/9/2026 - 8/15/2026 one? If not, why do we submit those timesheets then??
SYEP responded, but I did not think I comprehended it properly..?
"The pay date for Week 5 (Aug 2 – Aug 8) is August 14, and Week 6 (Aug 9 – Aug 15) is August 21." Is what I was sent. Does that mean we get paid on august 21st?
sorry if its an obvious / dumb question. i never really understand the timesheet stuff.
okay, so, I have been a member for SYEP for the last... 2 years, or so. here is my experience :
SYEP actively does not return calls, emails, or help when asked. they reply weeks after and whatnot. they also do not check in with their worksites !! I worked at DHLLC and the woman we worked with was absolutely horrible with a nasty attitude !!
she told us to put in full hours when she refused to give us extra work, and then threaten us to do extremely hard tasks by telling our supervisors that we weren't working for our hours and stuff. we reported her countless times and from our standpoint, she never got any repercussions.
I worked at a place called snowmilk as well. It was pretty decent at first, we were supposed to be doing retail. our manager, kelly, was lovely. the owner of snowmilk, "douey" or something, was extremely racist. He often made extremely uncomfortable comments toward the Dominican workers, and suggestive comments about how "you mexican girls are like my wife, but not really" ??? like.. what?? And he always made comments and suggestions that black people struggled at basic things.
And when it was below freezing last year for WLG, they had us passing out fliers outside !! completely freezing and said this is the only way we can make our hours. ( while they were inside of their stores. I called SYEP and turns out we werent even supposed to be handing out fliers, let alone in the freezing cold ). Kelly ended up getting laid off with others, and the other manager took over. ( we never met her in person, she had a horrible attitude through emails, and treated everyone poorly. She also accused us of not working our full hours despite her workers telling her we did. )
When we were allowed to work inside, I met this guy. He was a co owner, or a close friend. He worked with us too. From all of the actual workers, we heard nothing good about him. All of the actual workers said he was a creep. They couldnt report him though because he was the managers husband. I was supposed to work with him one day, and he kept comparing me to his 13yr old daughter and said that he wishes he had a bunch of hot women like the SYEP girls to cheat on his wife with. He ALSO used to bring snacks and cookies and not disclose that they were edibles. He was willingly getting members ( girls and boys ) high, and he even used to take members to smoke his w***d in the bathroom. Teenagers. With a grown adult.
Myself and a few of my friends did report this, we got in trouble for how we handled it and then nothing ever got done. Whats the point in us coming to SYEP about these things and SYEP says they'll look into it, you ask for a follow up, and never get a response while these businesses are still working with SYEP.
We also report bullying and racism happening and nothing gets done. Its also super disorganized, all of the SYEP workers have attitudes and super hostile. Like, our boss just got on our behinds about turning in our timesheets when their app isnt even working... ( mine is, but so many people have taken issue )
I feel like this environment is negligent to its workers and it stresses me out because its one of my only sources of income. Does anyone else struggle with this??
