LOL. That's standard operating procedure. 38 hours = part-time = no benefits. That's why it's such a joke when a Wal-mart/big-box store moves into town and they are praised as creating jobs. Sure, but at the cost of a lower quality of life for the community.

Sometimes, people who are supporting a family choose to keep their job instead of teach the managers a lesson. It's those that do both who are the real heroes. Thanks Tim, it's good to know we've got someone kicking ass and teaching lessons.

How about this... Mr. Manager, I know you, you know me... Don't piss me off, I know where you live, I know what time you come in... I know what time you leave... I know your car, I know your wife's car... Go pressure some OTHER employee... Pay me for the hours I work, I will work those hours, and we will both be happier.
