The dreaded "Finding Out" stage of "Fucking Around"

My goal of earning my keep is satisfied. I don't expect to be rich.

Unless you own your own business someone is going to dictate your priorities and tell you when you can/must work. Of course, owning your own business puts you at the mercy of your customers. Yes you can tell customers to fuck off, but you won’t stay in business very long.

From what I’ve seen you will meet that expectation.

They don't ask. I take all the overtime I can get, because I am a functioning adult who supports himself and prepares for the future, rather than mooching off of my parents and assuming things will just work out when the universe pays the debt it owes me.

No, if I want to be hungry and homeless,I can always choose that.

And I don't deal with customers.

But if they did....

But if you had to...

Since I want money, I like my work and they pay me well, I would accept.

I find a new job.

No, we were talking punch-out overtime, as in you do it for free, or get fired.
You'd do that, huh?
Okay.
Get down with your bad self, criminal.

Aw, shucks.

I was hoping for..

UA- I'd be lovely to the customers.

Me- Demonstrate.

But you couldn't even!

"where", not "when".

always with the red herrings...
you truly are incapable of keeping it honest, aren't you?

only the employer gets to do that...
after all, why would he contribute to his own betterment when he can be a bitch.

If you're asking about being forced to work overtime, but not get paid, then that's illegal.

So, let's recap...

UA- I'm a functioning adult!!!

Also UA- *Sees customers* (whimper noise) EEEEHHHH!!!! *Punches out for the last time, runs out fire escape, and sets off the alarm*

Customer- .......

What the fuck are you talking about?

He says he'd quit.
That's what that looks like.
I went to the alternate timeline; video recorded it; transcribed the recording.

And that's the scenario you come up with from that exchange? I'd congratulate you on your active imagination, but ..., it's really not that impressive.

Tell me about it. I always wanted to do paintball games at 2 in the morning, but stupid customers made me wake the fuck up during the sunlight.

No, I don't work for free.

Where, when. Doesn't matter. You don't get to dictate the terms, restrict my access, anything.

So "no" to free overtime.
Try reading comprehension sometime.
Rewind back to post 60, and start over.

You don't get to decide what constitutes my "betterment," either. My employer makes the offer. I accept it or I don't. Either way, nobody else's goddamn business. You aren't paying my bills or signing my paychecks. Unless that changes, you can stay the fuck out of it.

Sounds like a beaten wife on "Cops".

I didn't notice the word "free," and I didn't expect anyone to be stupid enough to suggest it.

And you sound like you're coping with your own idle uselessness.

Yeah, that's reading comprehension.
You're learning.

You're the cleverest 7 year old in the sandbox.
Yes you are!

We need to invent a time machine to send idiots like UA back to the ole days so they can see what life was like without the minimal business regulations we have now. Like there was any choice for people like him in the early US. He would be in debtors prison being forced to work with less than ten fingers and 2 hands because there was no OSHA, there was no overtime. Your employer sold you everything including your housing at far more than you could pay, and when you could not pay you became a slave to your debt at the company, and if you ran it was the chain gang for you.

All the restrictions we have today, which still do not guaranty much, came from massive abuses by employers. No employer is going to offer you overtime pay without a regulation because there is always a scab. If you had standards you simply had to be independently wealthy to afford not to work for shit pay.

This is the argument of an uneducated idiot who does not recognize his entitlement and the benefits he had because of the unions that fought and died to protect him from capitalism. Slavery is the end result of any and all unregulated capitalism. This is because it is cheaper to beat people to work than it is to pay them because you can always find a guy willing to whip other humans rather than be the person whipped.

He would have found honest work with good hours. Hangman comes to mind.
