Yesterday was payday. I wanted to get my check when I got off, but they were too busy, so I figured I would get it today. I came in today 10 minutes before my shift started and went to wait in the crew room. Well one of coworkers comes back there and says "Do you want this?". I looked at it, and it was my check. I'm pissed that the manager gave her my check to bring to me. Other people have no business knowing how much I make, and I don't ask what others make either. Checks are kept locked in a drawer on front counter and only a manager can unlock it to get an employee's check. What the hell was she thinking letting a coworker bring me my check?

My co-worker would sometimes hand me my check when she was looking for hers. Didn't much bother me. I was standing right there, after all.
But I can understand how you can feel protective about it. Maybe you should speak to your manager about it.Now a member of that alien race called Management.

Yeah, talk to your manager about it. Because that is no ones business. Unless you want them want to share it.

Quoth blas87 View PostDirect deposit is my best friend.....and my stub gets sent to my home address.
Where I work, we're practically forboden to speak of what we earn individually, as we all do basically the same job, but depending on how long you've been here, how many raises you've earned, what your starting salary was, if you get a shift premium, etc etc etc.... some of us earn a significant amount more than others, and they don't like people trying to figure it out."In the end I was the mean girl/or somebody's in between girl"~Neko Case

Seriously...no envelopes? That's just begging for trouble.
Our checks (or stubs, for those of us with direct deposit) are in tab-sealed envelopes.Unseen but seeing

Up until we eliminated paper checks, our checks did not come in an envelope.
They were a sealed packet with perforations on three sides. You tore off the little strips on those three edges and it opened up into your check and your check stub.
Now you have to choose between direct deposit, which I <3, or having your pay put on a "totalpay" card and you have to go to an ATM to access your money. I do not know of anybody at my store who uses the totalpay card.Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard. Be evil.
