Seeing this post made me flash back to how often wage theft happened to me during holidays as a teenager.

4th of July, New Year’s… Didn’t even know about time and a half.

    I guess it’s a matter of perspective? I personally would be happy to work half a day and get paid at a better rate than I normally would even if it was for a short period. Assuming I wasn’t spending an hour commuting to work or something.

    Edit: Who’s the grumpy ass who’s downvoting me for sharing a personal opinion? I’m not even judging OP or anything.

      When its your choice, yeah - it’s a matter of personal preference. But when it’s like “hey surprise, you’re not getting the work you thought you were getting” - that’s not so cool.

      Yeah, I can understand that perspective. My problem was that it was both dishonest and insulting. And yes, the commute was about an hour. I would have rather slept late. That’s what weekends are supposed to be for.
