Being valuable isn't rewarded
Before I start, I just like doing a good job, I'm fine with some annoyances but when they breach into excessive, that's where I actually start getting annoyed.
So started at this place known to have a high turnover rate, which is good cause I got the job instantly.
I worked hard and stayed until I became one of the longest lasting employees. And my reward is...
Work every Saturday and get an unpaid day off during the week so they don't need pay me overtime WHILST other departments get overtime.
Get paid the same as my under 18 coworker (under 18's are encouraged to work there by being paid same minimum wage as adults) whilst usually doing more work or just larger pieces of work, we are also understaffed yet no attempt of hiring new workers have been made since the last new guy left within 3 days.
Overtime has to be approved so working an extra hour usually doesn't get you any money at all, so when I have 2 minutes to clock out yet have to clean and fix up the place, I leave and get in trouble for not cleaning for free basically, keep in mind there's another employee who could've done that yet I'm the one in trouble.
Looking for a new job.
(Also no hate to the child worker, they do their best and are pretty funny)
