last pay period i worked 28.75 hours.. so imagine my surprise when i got paid today for only 20 hours..

so i don't want to come off as too aggressive, but what's a working girl supposed to do? i don't understand where he could have lost those 8.75 hours. i started to rationalize.. maybe he's paying me for "real" work.. so i took 15-30 min breaks for lunch.. but even if i add all that up, it's only 2-4 hrs. i'm still missing time somewhere.. and if he was going to do it that way, then he shoulda told me or done it that way the pay period before.

i don't want to be pessimistic, but i feel like he's doing this because he thinks he can get away w/ it cuz i'm a korean girl.. at this point, i'm really not sure what i'm supposed to do.. is he dissatisfied w/ my work? is he testing me to see if i fight back? i don't know. but this encounter has made me feel pretty crappy. i feel cornered and i hate feeling that way. i also feel like they underestimate me, which also sucks.. i don't know..

so this is the working world, huh?
