BS company?
I was hired as an installer a year ago. I was told beforehand how slow it would be during winter and that I would be paid supplemental income during those months which I'd pay back this summer. I was told we'd be so busy starting April. Fast forward to today and we're still sitting at home half the week. I work 10 hours a week and then have payroll emailing me asking if it's okay to take the ten hours to pay back supplemental income. Also have the owner trying to use me as a laborer for his drywall renovation at his home as a way to keep me busy. Which feels likes he is double dipping. Having me do drywall at an HVAC company to pay back a loan sounds great until you think about it and realize bossman is getting thousands of dollars in drywall repairs and renovations for like $13 an hour or something. Haven't done the math. Would you keep going knowing once you pay off supplemental income that it just repeats and appears to be a very bad neverending cycle? I thought when I became an HVAC installer I could be proud to tell people. But I'm realizing it's quite the opposite because I dread the question or statement of 'yoy must do pretty good financially " because in my head the truth is no I'm actually paid shit and hardly working at all. Because if I magically got 40 hours a week they're going to take a percentage of that to pay back supplemental income. So even if I made $16k this summer $6k goes back to loans.. so what do you think?
