Security = 123k/ yr
Security as like Security Guards or Technical security?
Security Guards in Certain areas, like Texas, IA , Georgia, Arizona, . Not offered in my district at the time, and only offered to retired police officers, Military in those areas.
That's odd that a security guard would be paid so much more than the district manager.
They're protecting the money, so the incentive has to be higher.
So these are site security personnel, but money truck drivers that go to each location and get the bags nightly/weekly etc? I guess that makes sense that they would make good money. Still doesn't make sense from the point that they would make double what the DM would make.

The job is Partime clerk who works full time.
Illegal, charge the business for your time. If they don't pay you, sue them (literally any lawyer would take the case)
No one said they weren't paying.
The position Name is "part time clerk" who can work a max 40 hrs a week = Part time Clerk who works full time.40 hours a week is a standard "full time position" their made up title has nothing to do with the fact that you'd be working full time.
You're literally Fighting me on the name of the position right Now?
are you bored?Not fight, just telling you the position title is made up, and doesn't reflect what it actually is.
It's a full time position - clerk.
Nothing more or less.
You'd think you were right, but that's not the case.
for W4 reasons, they are part time clerks.
I just double checked and no where on the W4 is there a "job title" field. It's all about your pay. So I still don't know where you're getting this from a "W4 reason".
They just made up a title and expect you to work full time? What would a full time title be for someone who works over 40 hours a week? Full Time Clerk?
Doesn't make sense, because anything 36-40 hours a week is considered full time.

Which, technically only the DoL cares about how many hours you work, and the IRS only cares about how much you need to pay in taxes.
This title topic just makes no sense, logistically.

Just Secured an Interview for a Job I'm not sure I actually want but willing to hear them out. We'll See.
At this point, take ANYTHING.
lol - well, it might not be IT, assuming that's where he wants to continue forward....
No, It's in the field but it's not IT work. It's an IT company that does 5 different things and the position is Sales, Uncapped.
Weirdly enough Im only hearing him out because I need the interviewing experience.Good way to look at it. Yeah, skip that. Gas station attendant would literally be better.
already did gas station attendant.
Going back to it from where you are now (in terms of work place stability) would probably be better.
absolutely not.
Well I guess you get to deal with the abuse monster that is your supervisor/not-supervisor weirdness for a while longer.
Going back would mean Overnights, or Clerk Position and wouldn't be able to pay bills at all, and would mean dealing with yet another Horrible Store manager / Monster Supervisor who just want to take advantage.
at least here It's Stable.How can this be? In lower cost markets gas station work pays better than what I think you are getting now.
Overnight managers make 32k a year plus benefits, but have to work 9pm-8am. Clerks make 11/hr and have limited hours.
Overnight manager would be perfect. Good money, benefits AND you can then use the daytime to build an ACTUAL IT career. This would give you the option of moving forward at an incredible pace compared to what you are doing now, which is getting you nowhere.

@WrCombs okay I'm done with the topic. It's making my head hurt lol.
and that is the Gas Stations in the local area.
Wanna hear more?
NO? okay well..we didn't get clock in clock out lunch breaks and they said because "we are a gas station, and legally as this type of business, we are able to withhold your break. " which i talked to a lawyer, and since they stated it up front in the interview, in the training and before you finished the application process they could actually do that legally here in Nebraska.
Couldn't sit down anywhere. there was no sitting involved. you were required to stand all day, regardless of what was going on.
If you were a clerk you were required to work in the kitchen at least 20 hours a week, and had a daily list of assignments that needed to be complete before you could leave, if someone called in and there was no coverage, youd be stuck running the kitchen and floor by yourself, most times you only got 2 clerks and an assistant manager running the stores. They ran you down and stressed you out for (at the time I started 8.25/hr) about 10/hr.
You got bonuses based on Secret Shoppers, if you failed you'd get the report and a meeting from the DM to walk your store within 24 hrs of receiving the report. -

As long as that is a Nebraska break, yeah. But they get to pay you, which isn't so bad. It's amazing what can be forced on you in an employment contract.

Upside, in order to do those kinds of things, you have to be classified as a manager. So you get to put that on your resume.

@WrCombs Remember in the US, there are no lunch breaks.

Where do you get that you have to be classified as a manager?
You worked as a part time clerk until you got a job as a manager. -

Forgot to post this... me on stage a couple of weeks ago.

job interview yesterday for 5 new sites.
interviews get harder as you get older. you get asked the same questions year after year and with benefit of age you can see the types of questions they should be asking they don't.
they still want to hear what your skills are, how do you thin that down after 30 years.
I was asked how do i handle conflict. i've just worked 10 years on my own, said I couldn't answer that.one of the most important things to look for in new staff is how well you think they'll get on with existing staff and fit into the culture of the workplace.
skills can be learnt in a week, getting people to work harmoniously together sometimes never happens.

The business would be taken to court for underpaying / exploiting workers here.
