No Pay Day
We all know that the first day at a new job can feel intimidating as you meet your new co-workers, learn the processes, and get into the groove of the workflow. Unless it’s clearly stated as an internship or that you won’t get paid, you start earning money from the minute you clock in. That’s how it usually works.
However, some workplaces try to get away with mistreating their employees and cutting their pay. Some will not pay you at all on your first day, as this person experienced her first day working at a café. No breaks, no food, and no pay would certainly confirm Emmeline’s decision to never return to that place.
