So, yesterday when I picked up my paycheck I saw the deduction on there I’d not seen before. It was for 75$ too. I guess the bosses decided that when I went over minutes on my WORK cell phone that I would have to pay that out of my PERSONAL pocket.  There’s a couple issues I have with that.  1) It’s illegal, and it’s the not first time they’ve done it.  2) They didn’t TELL me they were going to do it and the third and final one 3) I’ve yet to see the bill that says I went over.  Technically I am looking at it right now. I printed it out too. Gonna go though and highlight every call that was personal and every call that was business. I GUESS I’m willing to pay for extra minutes that were personal - but - glancing at it, I know why I went over. It was all my calls to a certain govt program back in the first part of Feb that did it. IT just really pisses me off.  I am underpaid as it is, I get no benefits and I work full time.  I won’t get over time if I overwork, and apparently NOW if I over call, doing my job I might add, I’m to be penalized.  Female boss of course blamed it on male boss, and male boss will just stay out of it.  Female boss also told me that male boss was supposed to include it with the paycheck, but she was the one who signed the checks and then put them in the envelope with my name on them.  She KNEW that it wasn’t in there and she KNEW that I’d ask about where my seventy five fucking dollars went.  They make more money off of me in a year than I make.  They also like to tell me I make the “big bucks.” I’d like to know what planet it is that 11.50 for a college degree and 5+ years experience is “the big bucks.” I bring in over 32$ an hour for the company, as that’s the rate we are paid for services provided.  I get 11.50 of that. Where does the rest go?  I can tell you where it doesn’t go. We don’t have an office, I do all my work out of my own home, on my own computer, and usually on my own time, unless I am out with a client.  I have a cell phone, that apparently I’m partly responsibly for paying now too. Most time when I need copies of paperwork I have to go someplace like Kinkos or something to get them copied myself. I have to pay to fax things as well - that’s usually too expensive so I just mail crap to people.  She had a brand new car though. Says it’s a “business car.” Male boss also has a new car.  They also have two houses between them. So, unless there’s some hidden business expense that I am not aware of, I work my ass off every day to pay for their fucking life. Sort of scraping a living together from whats left. That’s what I do.

Tell me again why I’m still at this job?

updated : after telling her about my research shes gonna give me my money back.  Sweet! :-)
