Things you wish you could say

What about those of use who get paid via a check? I get money taken out for Social Security and Medicare each week.

Most state laws have loopholes.

Like the law that says I cannot keep roosters, but under the right to farm law I am allowed to keep them? I have 2 that I encourage to crow at 7am. Wake up neighbors! You all work day shifts, and I am saving you money on alarm clocks! And during the summer, I am preparing you for the noise of my lawn mower!

I think I may be a very petty human.

There are lots of places that pay cash "under the table". It's illegal but the employees go for it because they like the idea that there is no withholding for income tax, social security or medicare.

They unfortunately don't realize that they are not accumulating "quarters" towards social security retirement benefits.

Hmm interesting. Thanks

I have no idea. I am not business savy at all. But I did say that he would bring in more guests if his resort did not look like a pit stain. He has the most atrocious furnishings, plant pots and lighting fixtures that do not match each other, and beds that collapse under guests in the night. He is also under the impression that dark wood looks amazing over baby-poop colored wallpaper. Who uses wallpaper anymore!? But "housekeepers are trash" and "we do not get to say what looks good in his hotel". Ok, Ginger Snap. You keep thinking these things. Your guests only keep coming back because it is the only hotel on the lake that always has rooms available (I wonder why that is? ). Oh, and the twat locked more than 100 tvs to the hospitality setting, and he cannot figure out how to remove it, so he is throwing all of them out. We housekeepers are going to swarm and take them all and I am going to teach them how to break the code (it is sometimes very helpful having friends that are geeks). A few are going to sell them on FB so that they can afford to get their kids something for Christmas. I will be giving mine to those that need the money more. And if we decide to have him suddenly completely out of fresh linen, I am donating all of that, too, to families who could really use it. Same with soaps and toilet paper.

Oh wow he sounds horrible

He is a total prick. But my boss, the housekeeping manager, is some serious cool beans. She has threatened to hurt him so many times since she first started there, and her only repercussion was a promotion to manager. Poor thing. I would rather be fired.

Oh wow that’s wild

Ooh! Ok, so, Ginger Snap has a rule that housekeepers are not allowed, under any circumstances, to associate with the Jesters club that is at the resort right now (probably because they are all rich and they tip like they have Trump money), anyway, yesterday I was joking around and hanging out with a few elderly gents and just being people-y, but when they left, they went right over to where the Jesters were congregating. Oops. I broke a big rule, apparently, but they were sooo sweet and pleasant!

I don't think that theft is the way to get back at your employer. If he's not paying you minimum wage, I think a report to the labour board is a better option.

I agree that theft is not a good idea. But for things he is actually throwing out (like the TVs) I wouldn't see a problem with it.

If he would throw them out anyway, then people taking & using them is good for the environment (not so much stuff in the landfill) and if your employer is charged by how much trash is produced then you will save him a little bit of money too.

Hmm, maybe make an offer like "I can get rid of those TV's for you, if you pay me $1 each." Being paid to haul them away would be a fun touch, and of course there is no question of stealing if he pays you to get rid of them.
