they took 4 hours and 28 minutes while I was working as a prep cook and paid me below minimum wage while calling it overtime.

the rest of the story seems irrelevant compared to this. How is overtime less than your regular salary? It seems like they paid you the server overtime rate (maybe?) when it should have been the cook overtime rate

Well, the rest of the story is just explanation. This is the crux of the matter, yes. They paid me my server wage for the time when I was serving, then they took the additional 4:28 over 40 hours and gave me the overtime server wage when it was exclusively kitchen work. I guess I'm just looking for confirmation that this is in fact exploitative before I take the step of bringing it to the attention of management.

What did you make in tips as a server?

Like $60. I'm awful at making tips. I think part of it is because I'm introverted and not good at making small talk. And I can't help but wonder if my gender plays a part.

So they tried to work things out to pay you as little as possible for the overtime hours that your worked. Update your resume, start applying to other places, and never answer your phone on your day off when work calls you ever again.

Tried a little too hard. Paying me as a waiter for my time as a cook has to violate minimum wage laws, no? But I'm more annoyed by the fact that I feel I went above and beyond to do them a service, and they see it as an opportunity to fuck me over. I guess I want to believe it's an honest mistake because it's an unusual circumstance, but I don't know if I can make myself believe that.

I work as a prep cook at a restaurant for $16/hour. Last week a server called out, so I came in on my day off to wait tables. I worked for 6:51 as a server. As a prep cook on the week I worked 37:37, for a weekly total of 44:28. Got my paycheck today to find it broken down thus: 33:09 at $16/hour, 6:51 at $5.25/hour, and 4:28 at $7.88/hour (overtime). So basically I was paid as a server for every minute I worked in that capacity, then they took 4 hours and 28 minutes while I was working as a prep cook and paid me below minimum wage while calling it overtime. I don't know how overtime is handled when you work two wages, but I was thinking the fair compromise would have been to split it and take 2:14 out of each, paying me $24/hour for 2:14 and $7.88/hour for the other 2:14. Which would have resulted in a pay of roughly $661.50 for the week, while my actual pay was $601.56. I don't particularly care about the $60 in a vacuum, and it's not like I'll starve for lack of it. So maybe I'm making a mountain of a molehill. But that seems like a pretty shitty way to reward someone for coming in on their off-day to bail you out, doesn't it? What would you do, CE?

Why are so many people "Puritans" when it comes to cleavage or the like?

It's so sad.

Welllllll they are okay with pics of women that CEmen post that are highly suggestive so I think it's more of an issue with a woman being in control of the image she presents of her own body ... just my two cents

To be fair, it seemed to make people somewhat uncomfortable when I posted suggestive pictures of myself.

Planning on running any half or full marathons?

I want to run a half-marathon in June. I joked that I was planning on winning it, but some people took me seriously. So now I have to back up the bravado and at least not embarrass myself. Got a lot of work to do before June.

I'd do about half that but with the elevation jacked all the way up. I'd be dripping head to toe afterwards. You obviously spent a lot of time on it, way more than the hour 5 minutes most cut off at.

Yeah, 80 minutes. My goal is to be able to do 10 miles in 80 minutes in a couple months.

Then try to push that 7.5 average to 15 miles.

Why do people think Squall is an edgelord? He is just an awkward dude that has anxiety and no social skills. All he really knows how to do is fight and get shit done, because ya kno, he spent the entirety of the life he remembers in a military academy.
