So.... had a job, pretty much as a slave.... in a hotel.... as the FRÜHSTÜCK FRAU
Then the hole in my abdomen (a hernia) kept getting bigger and more painful from the work, not to mention I had to constantly push my intestine back through the hole.... so I go to the doc.
He takes a look at it, sends me to a surgeon.... Surgeon looks at it and sends me to the hospital to another surgeon.... He looks at it, sets a date for an operation. Not just some minor operation, nope... I get put to sleep, they cut a 2 inch incision into my belly button and sow my abdominal wall up. Then sow my belly button back together after they insert a drainage tube and attach that to a wound-vac that I get to carry around for 24 hours before it gets yanked out (by yanked, I seriously mean every indication of this word). This was on Thursday.
On Friday I get a call from my boss asking me to come into work. HUH? Um, WHAT? I had been telling her for weeks about my surgery. She understood clearly what the surgery was for. Hallo? So I let her know that I have to go in for my after OP appointment on Monday and I will contact her and let her know what he says.
Monday after the doc appointment.... I am not allowed to do ANYTHING short of sleep and eat for a week. No strenuous activity for 2 weeks... NO work for 3 weeks and no sports for 6 weeks. So, I take this nifty little piece of printed paper signed by my doctor (der Arzt hat mir Krank geschrieben.) to my boss at work and let her know that I cant work for 3 weeks. She grunts and says 'Oh mein Gott, die Ganze Monat.' (Oh my god, the whole month) then she takes the carbon copy and says she needs it for the Krankenkasse (which here is where bosses get reimbursed for money they paid to people who can not work for a length of time). So according to the law here on Mini-jobs, I should get paid for a certain amount of hours while I am not working for 3 weeks. At least that is what the law says. I later find out that not all places of business follow these laws and usually never in the cases of AUSLANDER (not from this land or as we call them, aliens).
Did I pay my taxes? yes.
Did I give plenty of notice? yes.
Was I registered into the Mini-Job Central? Yes, by my boss.
Was I paid under the table? No, I was paid normally.
Did I receive any money for being unable to work? No, and with plenty of illegal excuses.
So, what to do? I am making an appointment to resolve it with the place that is in charge of enforcing these laws.
I quit my job... no, don't want the unemployment... but just being treated unfairly and illegally (or here they call it mishandel or mobbing) makes it not a job I want to ever go back to. For any reason, WHAT SO EVER. Fuck that! and fuck them.
I hate being unemployed but I hate being mistreated more. So, I am standing up for what is right.
More on the job happenings later, for now I am searching for something a little more me worthy. :)
I'm really beginning to hate being here.
