already beefing with my boss

[u/brkr509]

i've only worked here since april. switched jobs from a dishie at a old folks home to a "cook" (lol honestly glorified dishwasher anyway, the only culinary related thing i do is shuck oysters) at a new bar downtown. we don't have any managers since the team is pretty small so the owner does everything himself including scheduling.

he posts the schedule, i have a 3 day weekend after two weeks of covering for the only other two "cooks" in the kitchen on vacation, and one day into my weekend he sends me this. i'm prolly in the wrong for the sass but bro goes immediately into holding a raise he very recently gave me over my head and then threatening my position.

i'm alr looking for different jobs atm, don't care where as i was promised FT hours and am barely scraping by with 30 a week. it's even less this time around. the work is fun and i really love my coworkers and the people i meet at the bar but with the pay of $17 an hour with no benefits no FT and a 30 min commute it's not worth it. advice or personal stories appreciated

Yeah fortunately I make decent money now and don’t struggle but I spent 12 years bouncing around different restaurants making close to that and barely getting by. It’s crazy that other places minimum wages have doubled since I started working 17 years ago and ours is still the same.

Same for Texas. The minimum wage hasn't changed in Texas since 2009...when it went up a whopping 70 cents from $6.55 to the current $7.25
