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.

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?

I chose to do it. I like it. I have a good boss who pays well and gives me a lot of freedom and flexibility. The vast majority of farm workers aren't as lucky.

It’s usually family business, and they have a lot of write offs and incentives usually, so it prevents abuse of the system, but it also applies to non-arms length employees since farms trade work all the time as well, so bobs mid works for me and my kid works for him.

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.
