@WrCombs okay I'm done with the topic. It's making my head hurt lol.
and that is the Gas Stations in the local area.
Wanna hear more?
NO? okay well..we didn't get clock in clock out lunch breaks and they said because "we are a gas station, and legally as this type of business, we are able to withhold your break. " which i talked to a lawyer, and since they stated it up front in the interview, in the training and before you finished the application process they could actually do that legally here in Nebraska.
Couldn't sit down anywhere. there was no sitting involved. you were required to stand all day, regardless of what was going on.
If you were a clerk you were required to work in the kitchen at least 20 hours a week, and had a daily list of assignments that needed to be complete before you could leave, if someone called in and there was no coverage, youd be stuck running the kitchen and floor by yourself, most times you only got 2 clerks and an assistant manager running the stores. They ran you down and stressed you out for (at the time I started 8.25/hr) about 10/hr.
You got bonuses based on Secret Shoppers, if you failed you'd get the report and a meeting from the DM to walk your store within 24 hrs of receiving the report.Is that $10/hr for an adult worker?
The business would be taken to court for underpaying / exploiting workers here.
LOL
Minimum wage is $9/hr in our state, there would be no courts being bothered here.
There is no wage minimum difference for adults versus children. There are some jobs where the minimum wage is lower - waitressing is one, but the expectation is that tips make up the difference to get to minimum wage.Most of the US has lower wage options for children. Not for normal jobs, but for jobs that only kids do.
really? like what?
IIRC there are a few jobs where kids are allowed to legally work, like a farm hand (drive a truck etc) that is allowed to be paid at a lower rate.
Bussers and Dishwashers can Start at 14 with a work permit for lower wage than minimum wage.
what's a Busser?
table busser?
Buss Boy = In the US we have them to pick up the dirty plates and cups and clean tables at busy restaurants, Their Job is to make sure tables stay clean after guests leave to give the servers more Time to take care of other Guests.Oh, ok, thanks.
America is a weird country.

I did a good one today - Backed up my PC to an internal 1Tb drive so I could reinstall W10 (on the same SSD). Realized I formatted the 1Tb drive when going through the install wizard. No files to move back to my fresh PC. Oops. Luckily, I have another backup on an external drive.

Much like twitter. All depends on the time of "replies" is my guess.

Pot of coffee brewing.

Upgrading a couple Nextcloud servers. Something must be going on with their mirrors or whatever they use. My client update has been downloading for like 3 hours now and it's only 120MB, tried to restart it once and no difference. The server upgrade has been running for like 1.5 hours now too, still at the "Downloading ..." stage.

I've been a bit of a ghost around here myself as of late. My work day has been crammed full of actual work and no time for jabbering on here. It has been fun, but exhausting!
