What made you happy today?

[Cyborg Eastern European]

The inner workings of working confuses me.

 

[Beny]

My office just burst into spontaneous whistling of la Marseilles. One guy just started probably without realising, then someone else joined in and before you know it 8 people are whistling in unison. 

So much better than God save the queen, think we could petition to change it to "Jerusalem" or "vow to thee" instead?

 

[Krik]

Well as ling as its an overall pay raise that's arite, isnt it?

He'll definitely make more money, and going to salary means he can probably get benefits and **** which is out of reach for hourly positions. You just gotta watch out for them taking advantage of you, depending on the people you work for. (I have no idea what McB's store is like or anything though, they might actually be decent people up there)

Your co workers are Frogs, republicans and disguised Jeremy Corbyn supporters, be vigilant.

 

[Mad Vader]

No, him getting salary means he no longer gets paid hourly and instead gets a set amount every paycheck. That's the only real drawback to salary at a place like that, for instance I usually make more money by the hour than my managers do because they always end up having to work past their 40 a week. At hourly pay if you work more than 40hrs a week you get overtime, some places will give you overtime on salary too but it's not uncommon for a fast food place to just forbid OT and ask managers to work off the clock once they hit their 40.

Young and expendable people are easier to pressure into unpaid overtime.
Do you get any perks as compensation in the fast food business, or do you just have to suck it up?

 

[Krik]

Actual benefits and steady hours are huge perks going to salary from hourly. If you mean fast food in particular though, free food.

 

[DrBlacksmith]

A guy in TS works in Burger King. He says he isn't allowed free food and must pay for his lunch. If he wants to eat there. This is in the UK.

 

[Anarion]

What kind of benefits are we talking about, health care and such or?

 

[Krik]

Yeah that kind of stuff, health and dental insurance and things of that sort.

 

[Anarion]

Neat, that can sure come in handy. Congrats, Mcbev!

 

[Harkon Haakonson]

Is it possible for you to become a salaried pizza delivery guy?

 

[Krik]

Nah, I could move up to management but I prefer not being responsible for the stupid **** that happens in the food industry.

I've never understood why you people haven't gone with Rule Britannia.

 

[McBeverage]

Essentially I negotiated it to where, for working 50 hours salaried, I'll be making as much as I would have made working 50 hours hourly, including the overtime.  I think I settled for like $25 less a week than that but as there are some pretty decent benefits, overall I am coming out well ahead.  Particularly as I'll be making that amount every week, not just on weeks where there are a lot of call offs and I end up with overtime.  Plus my district manager and her boss both are pretty impressed with me, so I'm confident I'll be able to milk yet more money out of them soon enough :3

Its dull, moronic lyrics? Though that's more of a rule than an exception in national anthems.

 

[Delora Filth]

Which is my point. It's got way more nationalistic vibes, and a far more catchy overture.

 

[Kentucky 『 ＨＥＩＧＵＩ 』 James]

"God save our gracious queen" sounds like a fake royalty-free version of the Imperial March. Literally any other arrangement of notes would be better.

 

[Paronomasia12]

An anthem needs to show these foreigners that England is the only place on earth that is comparable to Heaven, that it's a new Jerusalem, and that we are in God's good grace and will sacrifice what we love to keep it so.

 

[AreJohn]

We actually have a deal with God to safeguard the UK, Al Murray has proved this.

Is that you?
