Living la vida Office Space[views:3439][posts:19]_______________________________________ [Aug 25,2003 12:14pm - the_reverend ""] so I'm in a meeting right now at my 5-9 cubical job. things they just told us 1) we need to work 10 hr days 6 days a week, no overtime pay 2) no vacation time for the nxt 2 1/s months 3) one day mandatory on the weekend arg! I'm not forgoing gf/concerts... so it looks like even less sleep. |

| __________________________________________ [Aug 25,2003 12:49pm - baneofexistence ""] were do you work is that even legal 10hr days 6 days a week see now you know why i'm in a union :doublehorns: which brings me to a subject thats been on my mind SELF CHECK OUTS in stores (do not use these ever!!) reasons: 1. you get no discount for your purches, 2. yet the store does not have to pay for the cashier and bagger 3. they arn't having to pay benifits for said employies in #2 4. it leaves a lot of room for scumbags to jack someones credit card and use it unchecked. if you go to a gas station(and most do this) and you use self serve the price is cheaper, yet if you use full serve you pay top price cause they are PAYING some one to do the job it only a matter of time before gas stations decide why do the discount if markets don't. |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 25,2003 12:51pm - joe/notcommon ""] thats a good point about not getting a discount. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 25,2003 12:55pm - the_reverend ""] Enterasys Networks. I'm salary so they can ask me whatever they want. I'm a software engineer so there are no unions. I'm guessing with all the outsourcing to indian, they are going to start being white collar-engineering unions popping up ithing the next 5 years. |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 25,2003 1:38pm - baneofexistence ""] i think if you do it your self you outta get 5 to 10% of the total off joe/notcommon said:thats a good point about not getting a discount. |
