She's a REALLY sweet lady, and does have a lot on her plate... but she can't make a schedule for her employees that is correct, is using an ancient time card system that she can't add up our hours correctly with, and is constantly losing money by paying some employees overtime, while others aren't getting the hours they want or need...

I really want to help her with this so that it saves her money, helps the business, and might open a path to me getting some extra hours or a raise.

But I don't wanna offend her, piss her off, or piss off the employees that are set in their ways with the overtime and hours they are getting.

I'm thinking about actually taking her out to a business lunch that I pay for... so that at least she knows I'm trying to do the best for her...

I've had her try to pay me almost 1 and 1/2 times what I deserved on a pay check to shorting me about the same amount... I've been honest every time, and she now respects me for it. But this has got to stop.

I don't wanna waste my time or hers making sure I'm getting paid the right amount for the hours I worked...

Also, she can't make a schedule for shite... I don't know why... maybe it's cause she is trying to appease everyone, maybe it's cause she's got so much else to deal with... but we have 2 stores, and when i have to ask... So who is closing this store tonight? (cause no one is scheduled to) or did we decide to keep store 2 open an hour later now? (cause it usually closes at 6, but she has me closing it at 7 on the schedule).... then there is an issue... and she needs help.

Tell her you want more responsibility and would like to take the following tasks to help lighten her load. Tell her if she likes what you have done for her in a month that she offer a raise to compensate you for your work.

Best way would just be straight up with her and tell her you want to help and this would be how you would do it. People appreciate constructive criticism if they arent too hard headed.

step 1 get a box
step 2 cut a hole in the box
step 3 place a schedule on the bottom of the box
step 4 insert your dick in the hole
step 5 present her the box
step 6 when she freaks out just pull your dick out so the schedule is visible.

Keep doing your job and her boss will probably fire her

Talk to her.

Either she knows she needs help and will be receptive or she won't take it well. I suspect the former is true, but if it's not you know it's time to GTFO.
