They messed up my payroll one time and kept saying they'd fix it, then the next day they would say sorry it didn't get fixed we'll do it tomorrow. Then payroll stopped answering my calls. My phone got cut off because the final day they said it would be on my account it wasn't and I completely flipped my sh*t until the manager gave me my money in cash from the safe lol. Payroll wouldn't answer the phone and they didn't want to lose me. Not my most graceful moment but a guy's gotta pay bills and eat. My rule is I don't work for free ever.
Not only do you gotta pay bills and eat. That work was owed payment as compensation, the most basic part of agreeing to work somewhere. Wage theft is a real issue and costs working folks across the country billions per year when totalled up. Just so some guys can be self important tools and do shit like play rocket ship.
A relative of mine never made a scene, but her lawyer got her the payment that she should have been given. I don't even know if it was worth the lawyer fees, but some companies are willing to do it because they have staff lawyers.
When he said I'll pick them off 1 by 1 and save you for last.... Hypothetically of course for management messing up hours... My blue collar heart felt that
Many years ago in a failing private ambulance service. Nobody got paid because “there was no money left in the payroll account at the bank”…we all marched up to the boss’s office a threatened to throw him out the 2nd story window. He cut us all personal checks immediately…2 weeks or so later, the company changed hands and was under a new name and management entirely.
For what this was, it was totally awesome. If this small speech does not end up in some kind of movie I'll be disappointed. Very well performed, and written.
I'm rubbing my hands together like birdman fantasizing about this. I'm sorry but you got me goin' I must say sir your writing is impeccable for this hypothetical situation.
I'm not positive but I have a hunch this is not the first time there's been a discrepency on his hours or his check. He's been pondering an answer to that hypothetical for awhile.
you know. you can try and sound scary with the thinks you'll do, but nothing is more terrifying than the things we do to ourselves. all you need to do, is leave him alone.
Hell yeah i accept cash brother. Gotta keep them straight. You would make a good narrator reading horror stories bud. I'd listen to you tell stories about what ever. You have a way to keep us following along with the story all the way through. Great job
Had a friend that didn’t get paid for 5 weeks... he was about to stop going to work, but then the big boss went to correct it himself and everything has been fine since then... I think
Hey bro. Been binge watching your videos since i discovered them a few days ago...hilarious. Thee Joker: "My father was a drinker and a fiend." LOL. But...I think the skits work better with "Steve" unseen and off camera. Like you're forcing the audience to use their imagination, plus focusing on your facial expressions and reaction to Steve talking. Thx.
