$20 flat colors sale + major problems at work
10 years ago
- G R O U P S -
TD;DR I'm having an art sale. Toony flat colored pieces are only $20. Simple props are free but complex ones and additional or complex characters will cost extra. Any subject matter is allowed and I am comfortable doing humans, ferals and copyrighted characters as well. Comment or email me if interested (please no notes unless asking for my e-mail address). For every 10 slots I sell, I can leave my job one week sooner and focus on packing.

Long version. I'm taking the plunge and moving across the country to New Jersey. I've been budgeting and saving up for this and until recently It's been going really well. Things at work have started to get really bad. My boss changed my schedule and never thought to tell me until the day of my shift, when I was already half an hour late. I wouldn't be so upset about this if we hadn't been talking the night before and she hadn't been commenting on how it was much later than usual. This isn't the first time she's done this to me, but it was the first time she had added time to the beginning and not the end of a shift, making me late. Fast forward a couple days, I get a text from a coworker saying I wasn't being paid for time I was working on Sundays. I'm a barista, my shop sells cold brew. Cold brew is coffee that needs to be steeped overnight in order the be ready the next day. When my store started selling it my boss and I made a deal that since I lived the closet, I would come in Sunday evenings to prep the cold brew for customers on Monday morning. I was promised a half hour of pay to do this every Sunday, which I have been doing since about June. A week or so into it, my boss started to put the half hour on the schedule and had me actually clock in for "liability reasons". I was only being paid for the 10 minutes of work it actually took me. California law states that if I am regularly scheduled for a half hour on Sundays that I need to be paid for that full half hour even if I am 'sent home early'. When I told her I would no longer do it unless I was getting paid the full 30 minutes we agreed upon she took it personally. For those of you wondering, 10 minutes of work equals about $1.50. She took it personally that I didn't want to give up a Sunday afternoon and drive to and from work for $1.50. Since then she has been extremely short with me, passive aggressive and getting on me for anything and everything she can think of. She gets uset that I'm not doing something one way, I change and do it how she says to and then she gets upset with me yet again for not doing it the original way. All of these things have just added to how uncomfortable I already am working there with a boss that is a gossip and EXTREMELY transphobic, going as far to voice her opinions and gossip while customers are present.
Thank you guys for taking the time to read this and considering commissioning me. Your continued support, whether it be commissioning me or just hanging out in my streams or commenting and favoriting my pictures are what have kept me going as long as I have.

Hopefully you'll make enough ^^ how she is short changing you short changing is wrong :/ and because she is transphobic xc
Just need refs and a general idea to go off of if you have one
But wow again ... yeah nobody would want to work for a boss like that. You only agreed to prep the cold brew because your boss promised you you'd get paid for 30 minutes. If you're getting paid for 10 minutes, that wasn't the deal. I understand that someone might take it personally if they were basically accused of reneging on a bargain and cheating somebody, but really that's too bad, because that's what she did to you. Then she makes the work environment toxic for you (or more toxic, anyway) in retaliation. Getting out of there is the right thing to do!
It kind of sounds like she kind of wanted to fire you for pointing out a mistake, or because she thought you thought she was dishonest, but didn't want to go to all the trouble, so she decided to try to make you quit instead. Well, it worked, but you were planning to quit eventually anyway. If she thinks she's going to scrape a bit more profit for the store out of using and throwing away employees like that, she's wrong. But oh well, she'll either learn that lesson or she won't. It's sad that she'll probably do the same to a bunch of others.
Not making fun of your typo, but I had to read over "lived the closet" a number of times before it parsed to "lived the closest" in my brain instead of "lived in the closet." :D I was thinking all Harry Pottery for a second there. :)
I don't know if she was actually trying to fire me? I've kind of been her only friend at the store for a while now, I was too nice to say anything about anything until like these last couple weeks where everyone else has been butting heads since day 1.
