My brother ended up in a similar situation to the last story. He was a cook at a government building. He had to teach his new manager how to do the job. Fast forward months later; he's pretty much doing his manager's job and doing his own. He was treated poorly there. He got hit by a car and was bruised, but walking. They wouldn't even give him time off and had to work ALONE and in pain all day. Meanwhile, weeks later, his boss takes time off because his tummy hurts. My brother found a better job.
The last story is a prime example of why you never do someone else's job for them. Show up, do your job, and go home. If they need you to do extra work make them pay you for it!
Exactly. Small favours are good and taking initiative is great, but trust your instincts. If your management doesnt trust and appreciate you, then just do your job minimally and get your check
As long as, give and take, your teammates take as much of your work as you do of theirs, imho there's nothing wrong with that. It's just how teams SHOULD be working. Not everyone can do 100% 100% of the time. Sometimes you have a good day and give 150% and other days 50%. And same goes for your team mates.
Correction, if done properly, the laser engraving will take more than a while. The image has to be scanned into a program, to measure it out on the material. It has to be resized, and then hand drawn around to show the laser where to mark. The laser engraving itself take time, otherwise the end result will be rushed, and lacking detail... Sadly the pillock didn't take his time though and the result was evidently sub-par.
I try not to offer "engrave from photographs" type services because of how much time and labor is required to get it to come out right. First of all, most photos taken today are color, so you lose a lot of data when converting to greyscale for engraving. Contrasting colors sometimes get converted to similar shades of grey. Some photos are going to etch better than others. You can often get better results by converting the image to a dot dither rather than using true greyscale since materials don't burn linearly, you end up with a very compressed dynamic range. And that's on something like wood; acrylic, glass and metal you get "shot" or "not shot." I'll straight-up tell customers that yes, I can laser etch a picture of your cousin onto a mirror, but it's gonna look very bad. I've carved out a niche doing signage and things like keychains. Lettering, symbols and logos tend to be black and white with maybe one or two intermittent shades of grey, which laser engraving is much better suited to. It's easy to walk on water if you know where all the rocks are.
I think it's hilarious that "douchebag" is used in place of "jerk." Where I come from, D-bag is basically considered a swear word, but no child in elementary school would ever get sent to the principal's office for saying "jerk." At least, not in the North American megacity I live in!
The owner probably didn't know at all for the entire time that OP was covering for Phil when Phil was not around. I mean, if OP didn't pipe up to the owner about extra work and responsibility and no extra pay for that week, its his decision.
I can only hope that "Phil" woke up and realized how much work the OP was doing to keep the office functioning. I also hope that the OP will just keep doing his OWN work and not Phil's. Phil needs a kick up the gahoolies.
@Sandra Nelson I completely agree and if "Phil" needs help on days off he should ask OP to work for him as an assistant not put all of his responsibility on OP for no extra pay.

The engraving one….sometimes it isn’t about the money but about the principle of the matter. If he wants to try to do business like that he deserves to lose everything in the end.
I'll be honest, Language barriers are annoying, but i dont like them because they can make communication hard to do and i wish i knew the language of the person to be able to better communicate with them.
The lazer engraver is what is a problem with society today. Pride in his work. If quality of YOUR product is bad, you make it again. If it is still bad or it is art that is not able to be remade then you offer a reduced price if not a full refund. That is the pride of an artist.

I worked for a "day labor" company for 7 years. I have so so many stories about being sent out onto a job for one thing and getting there and being told im doing something im not prepared for. Id text the office that i got sent from to let them know what was going on. More times then I can count the Employer of the day would try to refuse to pay for the labor they got and would try to harass me while filling out my time sheet. I knew my rights, and each time Id tell them I was contracted to do this job for the day. By changing the duties, and then getting mad at me for not being prepared for the duties i wasnt contracted for is in no way my fault. I will be getting paid for every minute I have been on site. If I am not, day labor company will be talking with the person in charge before I even get back to the office. Have a great day. My crew with a 5'5 woman as boss of 35 big brawny men obeying my orders before the employers if the employers were trying to get anyone on my team to do something unsafe or potentially harmful. We were sent all over the state for 3 years we were that good. If I can remember any MC i did during the jobs ill let you know

I love it! I've never been to England, let alone Yorkshire but I've read the James Herriot "All Creatures Great and Small" books and loved his anecdotes of the ppl and dialect.
The first one pisses me off so much, many people confuse accent with lack of English. I've been studying the fucking language for 13 years so far and there are words I mispronounce by accident and I have a very strong Eastern-European accent.
laser engraver story the answer is simple most people won't push that hard for $40 so that engraver was counting on anybody who had a problem giving up and just writing off the $40
*most* people. By the time you're getting dragged into small claims court, we're beyond "usually" and into "okay, okay, here's your $40 refund" territory.
For the hundredth time, your word substitutions are not equivalent! "Moved around" has a completely different meaning than "dicked around." How are these even close to equivalent? At least it's for a somewhat "bad" word this time. Usually, you do it for words that are 100% benign.
