Trouble at work and home?

Question

trouble at work and home?

I have just started a new job, I feel I am underpaid for my skills but because the lady I work for is not doing so well with her business I dont mind as I know she cant afford to pay me more.

I recently made a mistake, I sold some shoes that were in a $10 bin for $10 but they were actually $100, there was no price tag on them so it was an honest mistake.

However because they were brand new and now she has lost money from the sale I have offered to work overtime (unpaid) to make up for my mistake, which was dumb as I should know that in nz gravis shoes dont cost $10!

Now my husband is livid with me, saying I should never work for free and she is underpaying me already blah blah..

however I am just trying to be nice! Her business is not doing so good and she is stressed.

He said that she will never value my work now, etc. but I have not much else to do at the moment and I like her company so I dont mind!

He was really swearing telling me im an idiot to f** off etc when I said he was being mean so I hung up on him.

What should I do? Who do I please?

Answer 1

I f you stuffed puting in the cheapy bin all fair small bus is hard but its not up to you to make up for otheres mistakes very comendable but not up to  you .

what you do is your call only you know if the owners is just using you.and your hubbies a drop kick  

Answer 2

Apparently your husband isn't pulling in what he is worth or he wouldn't be bashing you like he is.  First it to keep an eye on him and be ready for any other issues he may have due to his lack of income.

2nd, working for free isn't good.  If you are off the clock and you get hurt, you won't be covered by workman's comp.

The "company" needs to suck up the loss, it is a tax write off at that point.  Do not work for free, she needs to make sure everything is as it should be on the sales floor to ensure things like this don't happen.  If she is going that bad, she doesn't have that many employees and needs to be working the counter her self.

How do you know she isn't doing that good?  Just her say so or are you working her books?

Time to start looking for a new job where you are paid what you are worth.  With prices like they are for food, gas and utilities, you need to look out for yourself first.

Best wishes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
