Well since I’ve been mostly in customer service jobs I’d like for people to know that the reps don’t make the rules or decisions. When there is something about a store or service that’s undesirable such as prices then it’s something to bring up to upper management or just let them lose you as a customer. But you can be as nice to the reps as they are to you.
I work on a farm. Where I live (in Canada), farm workers don’t have the same rights as other workers. We don’t even have to be paid minimum wage.
You are not entitled to:
- minimum wage
- daily and weekly limits on hours of work
- daily rest periods
- time off between shifts
- weekly/bi-weekly rest periods
- eating periods
- three-hour rule
- overtime pay
- public holidays or public holiday pay
- vacation with pay
WTF? That is insane what you are not entitled to. If you don’t mind my asking, can you not find another job than being a farmer?
It’s usually family business, and they have a lot of write offs and incentives usually, so it prevents abuse of the system, but it also applies to non-arms length employees since farms trade work all the time as well, so bobs mid works for me and my kid works for him.
If you work around forklifts, never trust the driver. Ideally they’re being safe and watching out for you, but don’t gamble on it. They’re heavier than a car and can very easily kill you or at the least break your foot and it will be an arduous healing process.
Never walk behind a forklift
Never get near one unless you’re getting in it to use it.
