You know, the looking at this from another angle.. The more grief you get from your working conditions.. two things are going to happen. One is you get fed up and make something out of yourself so nobody ever has you in that position.. or two.. you put up with them shitting on you.

My Niece got a job a few years ago at a Claires in the mall.. they required she show up at least 15 minutes early to start her shift. Her shift was 5-9 shared_pm. So she would get to work at 4:45 and clock in at 5. Then at 9shared_pm they would shut down the registers meaning that everyone needed to clock out.. since time keeping was done on the registers.. but the employees needed to stay after 9 shared_pm to straighten the store out and inventory every piece every night. So she would leave the mall at 10-10:15 when she worked. meaning she was paid until 9 shared_pm but worked till after 10. If you didnt like it.. they had a bunch of other 16-18 year old girls beating the doors down for the position.

I try and tell my step-son to get off the stupid video games and get back to school... learn a trade.. even tho work is tight.. by the time you get out of school.. the economy will be better... instead of making a shitty mcdonalds job a future. I wont even get into the day care he's paying while going to work. 125 per week.

Two things always happen..you put up with your situation.. or you move on. hopefully he doesnt wake up 20 years from now at a minimum wage job.. because he was too lazy and complacent. But thats on him to figure out. I stopped a long time ago telling someone what to do.
