"Well I gave my two weeks today." (Lady Freedumb Returns)

[98ZJUSMC]

Unbelievably ate up individual.  A daily chronology of whine, fail, whine some more,  tell everyone within posting radius how college-y (repeatedly) you are, how you worked in a newsroom, (Pure (D)Ummie cred building.  The creaking hippies love newsies not employed by Fox) and then, utterly fail, at even begging for money.

Can't remember the time frame of your Bouncy and the Odyssey, cannot make change for a .99 charge from a dollar bill,  can't drive (!?!?!?!) on and on and on......  Now, no birth certificate?  

If I had never become familiar with these troglodytes over the years, I would refuse to believe it.  It's no wonder they scream for government aid.  They would be dead and homeless without it.

Wait.....  

[98ZJUSMC]

Kansas takes a month to mail a certificate of birth?

I've gotten them from Nebraska and Pennsylvania within a week, using regular mail to request, and they sending them regular mail back to me.

Is the primitive confused about something?  She's not leaving this month, but next month.

I have never had to do it here in Illinois.  Dad sent me the original and four certified copies years ago, which I registered at Jackson County along with my DD-214MC.  What do these people think that that process is for?

Oh, ....wait again.  I said "think", didn't I?

Sorry, Coach.  Should have known better.

Oh my gosh. 

[franksolich]

Oh my gosh. 

Well.....at least you could utter something.

I was speechless when I saw.

Yep. Chad is a dead man.

Yep. Chad is a dead man.

"But your honor. All I did was sit on him in order to get him to listen to me!"

[Mr Mannn]

I wonder if eight days is the state limit for unemployment checks?

[Tucker]

When she gets to AZ and starts looking for a new job, she should make sure that she puts down the convenient store as experience for past employment. Also, she should ask her boss for a reference to let her new potential employer know just what kind of worker she was.

She can thank me later.

It was a good thing that I did hand in my two weeks yesterday...

I would never have known I work till close today.

I don't understand why he does not call me when he changes the schedule. And the 10 1/2 days are very hard since I must stand the whole time. So I would like a heads up.
 
Apparently you get no breaks. When I worked fast food (way back before school) if I worked 8 hours or more I got at least two 15 min breaks and 30 lunch. This job I don't get that. I stand the whole 10+ hours. try and eat lunch if there is no one in store and all cleaning is done.
 
How the Convenient Store get away with not following the labor laws are beyond me.

[jtyangel]

Umm when I worked a few overnights when I was younger the reasoning is that there are normally long stretches of it being slow and time to catch a break or lunch. I can recall being done with the things I had to do and having stretches from about 3 to 5 am where there were virtually no customers and I was done with clean up. I managed a lunch and had to keep from nodding off it was so slow. The only place I remember being constantly busy overnight was a donut shop by a university. Always full if students studying and you had to prepare the first batch of donuts for the next morning atte same time

NO RELATION!!!

I get the sense that she is hoping that her "So"  AKA Grandpa has been missing her and that when she returns with her Pay-Pal card and birth cert, he will fall at her feet and beg forgiveness.  What she is not facing, is that Chad has been scurrying around Grandpa's section 8 digs cleaning and decorating.  Further, Chad has been satisfying Grandpa's sexual needs in ways that would never occur to her.  She is truly on a fools errand.

I hope she will be able to post at the DUmp after she burns her bridges in Joplin, returns to AZ and faces poverty, homelessness, and rejection from a man twice her age.  Forcing your "So" of ten years to turn queer can't be the best thing for an already fragile ego.

I thing that, because of us, that the DUmp is on to her scheming. Her posts get less replies than Pamela Dawson/Greenbriar/Demtenjeep (?) ever did. I didn't think that that was even possible.

[wasp69]

Yeah probably the one throwing the profanity laden tirade on Facebook about how someone screwed her reference for a better job and the other sister saying she should open a case against them for not allowing her time off for her pagan holidays. Frank has it all wrong that the sisters are the minders; it's a whole family of trash from what I've seen. Lfr just seems to be the emotionally weakest link...and apt to be taken advantage of by her sisters, old man, etc.

Trash begets trash.

1. Report them.

2. I am thinking about.

One of my sister's are trying to tell me because it is "at will" employment they don't have to give me a break at all. And I need to learn to put up with it and be happy I get a paycheck.
 
Heck, I have people trying to tell me that union are bad all the do is take there money and if the want benefits they have to pay extra. The people of MO is getting hosed!

3. Unfortuantely whe I checked Missouri Labor Laws:

http://labor.mo.gov/DLS/General/breaks.asp

Missouri law does not require employers to provide employees a break of any kind, including a lunch hour. These provisions are either left up to the discretion of the employer, can be agreed upon by the employer and employee, or may be addressed by company policy or contract.
 
Boy that sucks!

Lady Freedom Returns (5,847 posts)    Sun Sep 1, 2013, 11:57 AM

7. Yes they do.

It makes me sad how little people know there rights and the laws.

So many are so scared that if the demand their rights and demand the job to follow the law that they will lose their job. They just allow the Corps to use them because they are scared.
 
And people have no idea what Unions really are and what they really offer. People might think they are making more with out the Union and they are ready to believe what they have been told. No one is doing the homework for themselves.

mzteris (16,064 posts)   Sun Sep 1, 2013, 12:14 PM

16. um Overtime?

Overtime Pay – Employers must pay at least one and one-half times the employee’s regular rate of pay once overtime pay is in effect. Overtime pay begins once an employee works more than 40 hours in a work week rather than more than 8 hours in a work day. State and federal law does not allow employees to voluntarily waive their rights to overtime pay and accept straight time instead. Any employer that asks an employee to do so violates the law and employees should file a wage complaint.
 
Though, they're probably under the 40 hour mark. Hell, not only quite. MOVE!

Archaic.

17. What did they say when you asked about it during your interview? And...

what is a woman on her period supposed to do? Get toxic shock or just bleed through her clothes?

Lady Freedom Returns (5,847 posts)    Sun Sep 1, 2013, 12:21 PM

18. He just pointed to the Labor law poster and and I was told by the other woman when I got working that I better wear a pad and use super tampons. As for bathroom break we are to limit them as much as possible.
 
Since I would be working alone at night I am to lock the register and hurry. Do not let the boss learn that a customer came in and had to wait for me to finish.

Phentex (8,392 posts)    Sun Sep 1, 2013, 12:23 PM

19. I was thinking about locking the door...

that's what I would do. I mean, what I would HAVE to do!

8. are you kidding me???

I'll have to check that link myself. I can't believe any state is that freaking backward. Hell, even southern ones are better than that!

^^^obviously not aware that working conditions in many corrupt blue states are much worse.

This primitive needs to get out more.

13. From Fed DOL website:

http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/workhours/breaks.htm

Federal law does not require lunch or coffee breaks. However, when employers do offer short breaks (usually lasting about 5 to 20 minutes), federal law considers the breaks as compensable work hours that would be included in the sum of hours worked during the work week and considered in determining if overtime was worked. Unauthorized extensions of authorized work breaks need not be counted as hours worked when the employer has expressly and unambiguously communicated to the employee that the authorized break may only last for a specific length of time, that any extension of the break is contrary to the employer's rules, and any extension of the break will be punished.
 
From State of Oklahoma:

http://www.ok.gov/odol/documents/WHFAQ.pdf

2. Are breaks and lunch periods mandatory?
Neither federal nor state law require employers to provide breaks to employees age 16 or older. Mandatory break
laws only apply to children under the age of 16. Breaks and lunch periods are considered benefits and remain at
the discretion of the employer.

Lady Freedom Returns (5,847 posts)    Sun Sep 1, 2013, 12:26 PM

20. OK no. But the Labor poster they have hanging in the office for the State of MO.

Does say that they are to give so much time for breaks and for lunch when the day is 8 hours or more.
 
They have it hanging n the office and they don't follow it.

You see, as I found out as a store manager once a upon a time, State Law says we have to have the Laws posted in the work place where all can see them.

10. I did not realize it differed from state to state. I thought federal law dictated it - 40 hours, breaks, lunch hour, etc.

I'm truly shocked. These employers are the same ones who would have had slaves in the "good ol' days."
 
If it is the law, I don't see how it would do any good for LadyLiberty to report them. According to their law, they are not doing anything "wrong."
 
The whole thing is sickening.

5. MO's labor laws are medieval.

They don't require employers to give employers any breaks at all. http://labor.mo.gov/DLS/General/breaks.asp

If Missouri's labor laws are "medieval," there's labor laws in corrupt blue states that are absolutely paleolithic.

14. Neither do the US Labor laws

Federal law does not require lunch or coffee breaks. However, when employers do offer short breaks (usually lasting about 5 to 20 minutes), federal law considers the breaks as compensable work hours that would be included in the sum of hours worked during the work week and considered in determining if overtime was worked. Unauthorized extensions of authorized work breaks need not be counted as hours worked when the employer has expressly and unambiguously communicated to the employee that the authorized break may only last for a specific length of time, that any extension of the break is contrary to the employer's rules, and any extension of the break will be punished.
 
Bona fide meal periods (typically lasting at least 30 minutes), serve a different purpose than coffee or snack breaks and, thus, are not work time and are not compensable.

6. ridiculous

At will doesn't mean they don't have to abide by labor laws! What they are doing is illegal.
 
And you said you handed in your notice anyway. So you have nothing to lose, but you may help others from being mistreated. Heck, you could possibly get the back pay due you.
 
Unions are why labor laws changed in this country in the first place. It's why there are 40 hour work weeks and overtime pay and enforced breaks. The end of child labor and sweatshop conditions. (Okay, not the end, the mf'ers still exist, but they're illegal.) There are now safety laws and minimum wage laws (such as it is at least it's more than some aholes would pay unless they are MADE to).
 
You have a duty to yourself and others to report illegal activity.

^^^the primitive doesn't seem to grasp the meaning of "illegal."

Lady Freedom Returns (5,847 posts)    Sun Sep 1, 2013, 12:02 PM

9. Your right.

I was a Manager at another job. I know what I was allows and not allowed to do.

I do think the are pulling this stuff to keep labor cost down. Do stuff this way, they don't need people to cover for breaks and lunches.
 
This is not the way you run a business.

[Tucker]

Well, there's normal trash, and there's primitive trash.

Then there's hazardous waste.

[Skul]

I'm beginning to wonder if a certain employee came up $70 short, because a certain employee took an unauthorized lunch and left the sheep with the wolves.  
Employers don't like having to cover for the inept, by placing another employee in the store.

She's an example of an educated democrat.

Can you imagine trying to read her posts if she didn't have that degree in communications?

This may be a phony campaign for DOTY, but it's hilarious nonetheless.

Another example of liberal "failure to launch".

Seems like it's become a real national disaster.

Good news!  Arizona has the same labor laws in effect as Missouri for breaks and lunches.   

The Lady Freedumb primitive knows as much about labor laws as she does about saying "No thanks, I'm full", when at a buffet.

I do so love this leftist, dogmatic mantra that is repeated without the scantest bit of innate curiosity as to whether or not it is really true.  It reminds me of the phrase "religion of peace" that is regurgitated so easily and thoughtlessly.

Hey, DUmmies, I make more than my union counterparts, have better health coverage, more flexibility in assignment and tasks, and a much better relationship with management without having someone else negotiate my worth.  The added bonus?  Nobody forcibly takes money from me to give to shithead democrats.
