My advice..get it in writing.. as an employee

I wanted to take a moment and address your power as an employee or a potential employee for a new company.

First I'd say look at your state laws..

In good ole bumfuck Missouri...

Employers ...isn't this 2023?..are not required to even give you a lunch break.

Any benefit you are promised is between you and your employer..

And you better get it in writing..

Cause your state probably doesn't care.

I was promised x amount of paid time off..

Missouri says..fuck you...

If I quit/ get fired...I don't get paid for unused pto

If I don't use it...Missouri is gonna let you lose it..

And if the company doesn't want to give you your requested pto off..

Missouri says..fuck you...

The company literally doesn't have to give you squat..

And this is me just reading about the fun labor laws in my state for like 10 minutes..

I'm guessing there are tons more..

I've never been pro unions...esp at places like starbucks...

But..perhaps unions or any employee that wishes to start one..
Needs to bring these facts to light..

Would a union protect my pto..

Would a union have fought back against voluntary wellness programs...which are neither voluntary nor a wellness program.

Would a union actually protect an employee that had real concerns at work..

At my job we have literally under 500 employees..and like 2 HR people..

That will never return your phone calls..

And even if you do get a job perk in writing..

Do you have the resources to fight the company..

My advice...and oddly I'm starting to sound like a gen z person..

Or Peter from the office space movie..

Don't give a company your loyalty,your time ( overtime is not worth it) or your passion..
Never get comfortable and always look for something better.

And remember...people bash gen z..call them laxy,don't wanna work..

Meanwhile their starting wage

May be closer to yours..

So yeah I most likely will get fucked out of 22 days of pto,my insurance will go up 960 dollars etc..

And yes I will get a job somewhere else..

Cause your state don't care,your employer doesn't care..

And if you thought I checked out years ago..

Meet the new gen z employee in me

Let's be real...
The new year is coming and this company has decided to start being dicks..

I don't want to give the impression that I'm the issue..

It's not my pay rate..I had my cdl for 20 plus yrs,over a million miles..

And i literally make 3 dollars more an hour than the 20 yr old Amazon driver that pulled up last Saturday..

She has no experience, drives a small van,has no security clearance, No med card, No special license ( cdl)..

But you might say...well Leo you got benefits..

Do i??? They forced my insurance cost up and haven't given me my pto

companies exist for themselves and HR's main purpose is to protect the company.
