What would you like for everyone to know about the type of job you have? - Lemmy.World

Well since I’ve been mostly in customer service jobs I’d like for people to know that the reps don’t make the rules or decisions. When there is something about a store or service that’s undesirable such as prices then it’s something to bring up to upper management or just let them lose you as a customer. But you can be as nice to the reps as they are to you.

I work on a farm. Where I live (in Canada), farm workers don’t have the same rights as other workers. We don’t even have to be paid minimum wage.

You are not entitled to:

  • minimum wage
  • daily and weekly limits on hours of work
  • daily rest periods
  • time off between shifts
  • weekly/bi-weekly rest periods
  • eating periods
  • three-hour rule
  • overtime pay
  • public holidays or public holiday pay
  • vacation with pay

    • WTF? That is insane what you are not entitled to. If you don’t mind my asking, can you not find another job than being a farmer?

    Engineers are much the same. If you look on that site, under engineers it lists every single bullet point from agriculture workers except for the 3 hour rule.

    However, despite not being entitled to it, it is typical to expect. It’s just wild to not be legally entitled to it.
