B/S
Glad he quit
He was a good worker, and was doing the B/S tree clearance that Tony wouldn't do, clearing the clogs etc
Lost respect for Tony and Minnie on that one
You don't have to stand tall, but you do have to stand up!
I kind of missed the explanation on why they were cutting his pay but yeah, total BS. I'll have to go back and watch that part again.
shareThey cut his hours, not his pay. They only needed him to work 11 hours/day instead of 12 and he stormed off. Good for the Beets. Gained respect for them.
shareI gotta know why that meeting with Minnie and tony couldn't have been done over the phone...it was a 2 minute meeting

That whole incident seemed staged and awkward to me, especially the Minnie part.
I am not buying this as anything other than manufactured drama for the show. What does cutting a single hour for a couple of guys in your operation really save you when you are pulling 200 to 300 ounces of gold a week out of the ground? You are really gonna lose a good employee who has been loyal to you for over 2 years for 5 or 6 fewer hours a week? It's nonsense. If you wanted to cut hours you wouldn't reduce the length of a shift you would get rid of someone completely and either replace them with cheaper labor or you would have your other employees pick up the slack.
shareOddly enough, that is exactly the kind of business practice we have been seeing the last years. Business who are making a large profit trying to cut corners on every turn so that they can make a couple of bucks more.
They mentioned he was standing around for about 6 hours a week with nothing to do. Likely at the start of a shift when only the dredge master was needed. Logical to not to want to pay someone OT just to stand there. There was likely more people who got hours cut throughout their operations but wasn't shown.
What isn't logical is the employee storming off they way he did. He was still working 70+ hours a week, but that's somehow not enough to pay bills and feed his family. He wouldn't even had another job lined up. That's the manufactured drama.
Exactly, you will quit a job that gives you 11 hours of pay a day because they can't afford 12, so u deal with it for the time being, and cut back on sth at home, quitting gives you $0, so why would you do that to ur family, not knowing if u'll have a paycheck for the next month
shareYup. Played out as totally scripted drama.
