Plus, including it in a contract doesn´t make it legal. Have an attorney look over it to find a loophole, or in some cases it´s already invalidated because the contract is going against a law.
I worked a job where the boss was like this to me, and I said, "sure, pay me the difference and I'll just work this job!" And would you believe it? He denied my incremental payraise! I quit, and then everyone else quit, and then he went on to be a "stay at home dad." That is, until his wife kicked him out for cheating on her with his dealer's... Girlfriend? Sister? Not sure on that. It was secondhand info. He lives in his food truck as of 2022.
I remember one job I had wouldn’t give me overtime. I kept asking but they would let other people work and not me. So I got a part-time job and when they found out they would ask me to stay over. I would say no I have to go to my other job.
They raise wages for their important workers, the CEO, his buddies, their friends who they hired into the company NOT the actual workers who are making them rich! The peasants will be happy with whatever they’re given, don’t ya know?! 😂
It IS a job. That's why companies have long favored hiring men. They expect a man to be available to work whenever they want, and to have a wife doing the domestic jobs so that he will be available for work.

At this point, if a job asks you to not have other jobs, but won’t pay you a living wage, we should just assume that what they really mean is “We can’t legally fire you, so we’re trying to harass you until you quit,” and get the department of labor involved
I worked at a company as “part time” employee but hours would flex depending on peak season…. They literally made it clear that they PREFERRED for their employees to not have a second job…. We couldn’t survive when hours went down. Literally worked 2 hours a day for a whole two weeks smh
I love Veronica. "Bogged down by a million other-" Lemme stop you there. If it interferes in any way with this job, you can let me know but if it doesn't, you don't need to worry about what I do or what I think about. My job pays us well enough to have just one job, but that's because we have a union ❤️
lol, when she said “you don’t have to worry about my second job” I thought she’d say “you don’t have to worry your pretty little head about it”. I think that’s actually what she meant by that. 😀
Edit: i do want to stick a quick disclaimer here, if you're working hourly i see no reason not to work multiple jobs if you have the time available to do so. I'm speaking specifically about salaried employees. So... I get wanting to have multiple sources of income. Problem is, I've worked with people who have secret second and third jobs. They've been found out because they can't even do 1 job properly and are very bad at being discrete. I don't think someone should be let go just for *having a second or even third job". But I've also had to pick up the slack for people that think they can manage all the work when they're actually terrible at it. Do what you want, just don't push all your work onto your co-workers if you bite off more than you can chew.
??? The problem is if they actually bothered to pay enough not to have that second or 3rd job! Jobs pay crap! You have to have that other job to live! 😂😂😂😂 They eventually can’t afford to keep you as an employee when you find better!
I worked for Hilton and they charged hundreds of dollars per night that they said they couldn't pay us with. I mean they did, I just had to sue them first. And wouldn't you know it? They still had enough money even after that...😂
That's what I liked about having a second job. It is the literal power to tell any person to shove it cuz it's not really going to hurt you if you lose a job. So it gave me more freedom to call out BS when i saw it. Then they promoted me and things got great with the income that i didn't need a second.....but i kinda wanna pick up another because why not have a side dish to compliment the main. My retirement comes sooner if i make more investments
I’m still stunned at these work complaint videos people coming up with all this legal advice and tips on how to deal with employers. I had one technique that always worked, if your boss asks something reasonable and is within your responsibilities say “yes, Boss I’ll get right on it.” And do it. If your boss asks you to do something unreasonable and outside of your responsibilities say “yes Boss, I’ll get right on it.” But don’t do it. If your boss confronts you just say “oh gee I don’t remember, sorry boss.” Your boss will eventually think you are too stupid to figure out how to work late or do extra OR will fire you and you get all the benefits because when you get your reason for dismissal it will be unlawful. My last boss was great, he asked me to do extra stuff sometimes as a rare absolute last resort but because he was mostly reasonable I was like suuuuuure.
This makes no sense, I have one job and am not focused on it, you know because I have a life outside work and think about them at it more than my job. If you people need to work more than 1 job, the problem may be they DON’T MAKE ENOUGH MONEY.
The average wages for anyone under I believe 32 years old are under the expected cost of living for people under 32. Older people get paid more often, and they have less expenses often. This is because the Boomers and Gen X have intentionally raised prices on expenses that are essential and lowered wages, as well as depreciated the dollars value in an effort to maximize their former wealth. It's currently in a state of collapsing and being held afloat by government spending to feign economic strength.
Double whammy, see. If everyone needs two jobs, that's twice as many job seekers. More job seekers means that companies can be more selective and offer lower salaries. It's a feedback loop that creates more of the desired effect: low wages.
Had this happen at my old job a few years back and to my surprise they ASKED ME what I would be missing out on and they bumped my salary. It was like $2k shy but still that’s worth not have to work another job.
I applied at a Smokin’ Joe’s once and was working at the gas station across the street and they wouldn’t hire me. They said because I’m working for their competitors.😂
I’ve had managers who would worry about if people were coming to work tired. It was bizarre. What difference does it make whether or not I am tired if I show up and still do my job the same as any other day?
The problem is that some employers think they are entitled to earn their profits by exploiting the labor of others with low wages. I just left an employer who refused to pay me what I asked for. I have an interview next week for a job that pays 25% higher wage then the job I just left.
You juggled 3 jobs at one point which suggests you are not any longer. And you don't know how else to survive. Does that mean you are not surviving right now?
"We don't pay our staff enough to move forward with their lives, so we'd prefer it if you didn't have a second job as lifelong indentured servitude only works if you're dependent on us."
I have to ask permission to get another job. It has to be approved. Working in law enforcement has all kinds of rules about ethics,conduct, and the ways we represent our department.
