A Waste of Money
I worked as a receptionist for a couple of months. If one thing was ever out of place in the entire lobby, my boss would yell at me and, for some reason, say that I was wasting money.
She would do this repeatedly and I never understood why. Sometimes, when things were out of place in the lobby, I simply didn’t have the energy to get up and fix them—especially since it wasn’t my job, to begin with.
She would just keep saying that I was wasting money and I never understood it…until one week, I’d had enough and decided to grab chairs and purposely mess them up. I also tipped over trash cans to spill little bits of garbage out and so on.
That week, I noticed on my paycheck that I had gotten paid $80 less than usual. I then took a closer look at all of my recent paychecks, and suddenly realized that the more the lobby had been messed up, the less I had been getting paid each week. I was totally shocked.
As soon as I made this discovery, I confronted her about it and she gave me the money back. But the whole situation was still pretty messed up. She was also extremely rude when dealing with it…
