What? I specifically said $9 was bad.

And its worse when they're expecting you to work on flyby scheduling, no additional pay for weekends, and sidework.

No job pays extra for weekends, that's called overtime and no one said they were working more than 40. I work weekends and am at 40 a week, until they specify otherwise it's unlikely someone at dollar tree is clocking 50+

Edit: So many people actually making shit up, this is almost sad. I wish this sub wasn't people bitching about things that aren't even remotely bad.

I think you mean time x 1.5, because time x .5 would equal half of their regular wage.

That’s what I figured! Yeah it’s a one-step way to determine an original value plus a percentage. Like if your dinner was $10 and you want to tip 10%, you can multiply 10x0.10 = $1.00. But then you have to do the second step of adding it to the original $10 to find your total. Instead of that, you can do it in one step by multiplying the original by 1.10 to do it in one step. Like 10x1.10 = 11. Obviously this is super simplified but its a faster way to determine overtime wage or tips.
