Ever want to stab your boss in the face with a screwdriver?

Ever want to stab your boss in the face with a screwdriver?
It's 4am, I just got home from a 12 hour shift that was supposed to be 9 hours, and I've got to be back at work in 5 hours for a shift that supposed to be 11 hours but will likely be 13 without a break.
Tonight wouldn't have been so bad, except my boss doesn't seem to realize that cutting half the kitchen staff early doesn't save any payroll if the rest of us all end up working late to finish all the crap that didn't get done when we had plenty of help on.

I have an awesome job, and make great dough, and have lots of debt from student loans.
CT law says you must have 8 hrs between shifts, with one lunch break (unpaid) per 8 hrs and 1 15 min break per 4 hr work period.
I also grew up on a farm and never saw my father take a day off, or break.

Dunno if it's legal or not. Thankfully back to back close/open doesn't happen more than once a month, still sux. As far as staying that long over, it's part of the deal in a restaurant kitchen, last person on can't leave until everything's clean. MA law is a 15 min break every four hours worked, and a half hour off the clock for every 6 hours worked, but I don't ever get either.Fastback86 wrote:Can he even do that, legally? Keep you over that long and require you to be back in 5 hours?
I don't really mind my job, it's just the shortsightedness of an idiot who can't understand that the payroll report that his boss is going to bitch at him about is going to read the same way whether 6 people work 1 hour each or 1 person works 6 hours.

Where I used to work, I had to fight to get paid at all (boss would never cut a check unless I tallied all the timesheets and found him when he wasn't busy/broke). Usually involved blowing a gasket and yelling at him in the office with everybody present, about whatever bullshit had pissed me off for the last time and pushed me over the edge of potential forcible screwdriver to face application.
... It was the only thing that seemed to work, somehow. :la:

Never mind that proper tools (like screwdrivers) were nearly nonexistant at the shop, though it was littered with things like 22" chainsaws, a japanese handsaw that had jagged ~1" long teeth and was 3 feet long, razor sharp chisels, hammers, a double bitted axe, a nice 18" bladed machette (with a real 1050 carbon steel blade), and the like.
Then there was the time I came to work with a sword for the sake of humor - though it was on a good day. Looking back, it really *is* a miracle that no deaths occured, intentional, or otherwise... :la:
[edit] Oh, and I have a 2nd job interview on the 1st of April... Hopefully this kicks ass: www.msrc.org

I carry a niosh pocket guide in my glove box, in event of a tanker spill on the highway. Worst I ever had to respond to was a janitor washing a mop in bleech after mopping up battery acid from a forklift. Thats chlorine Gas.Blue Shift wrote:Hopefully this kicks ass: www.msrc.org

That kinda shit is exactly what my degree is in (The niosh/tanker spills and the like).
It makes me laugh to think I don't want to use any of it.
However I do carry the 2004 Emergency Response Guidebook in my patrol car :scratch:

Kicks ass. Yeah I guess I'll be playing maintenance/warehouse jockey for a bunch of hydraulic equipment, boats, outboard engines, and the like most of the time. Then I'll be on call 24/7 - if an oil spill occurs, it's grab the go bag, and off to an airport or some MSRC installation to help get it mopped up - they were telling me personal stories of being out there 18-24 hour days for a days at a time. Looks like I'll need to get a TSA TWIC ID Card/clearance, which should be interesting in and of itself.
It'll be interesting, if nothing else!

I think they need a single fingerprint. And the TSA site says expunged felonies shouldn't count... We shall see.
