Did They Lie To Me?

By longwood1 September 17, 2020 10 answers Last updated September 17, 2020

Hello, I started working a month ago in a call center, I will not say who. First at the interview I was told that they would pay me EUROS 800 net + bonuses and I agreed because I live with my friend, he gets a good salary and my money is completely okay. When I signed the contract it was written that I would take PURELY EUROS 400? And I asked, they told me that this is HARD and now it depends on me and my bonuses how much I will earn. I was told that I could not earn less than EUROS 800-900 per month. I was silent, the dumb duck thought they weren't lying. Well, two days before my salary I realized that in fact we are PURELY paid EUROS 300 ..... so yesterday my salary was EUROS 440 ..... can you imagine, 8 hours a working day, 5 days a week and finally EUROS 440. I just got mad and asked the bosses what it was ?! : D Literally, they naturally started to dodge. "But you don't have 20 days a month" - yes, I have 17, you would hardly pay me another 400-500 EUROS for these 3 days on top. Then they started that there were DEDUCTIONS from those 400 EUROS , not only that they are few, so they deduct them from me. It was not explained to me what, why and how. Nothing! The contract says 400 pure + bonuses. Also, we are fined 30-40% if, say, for 1 hour we do not talk to 5 people on the phone, but sometimes they do not pick me up or close my clients, what can I do? THAT'S WHY THEY ARE FINE. Am I wrong, or are they just scammers? I am angry because I was looking for a normal job for almost three months, I finally found and shit with the money .... quota and let's talk, what are EUROS 440 per month in Sofia, we are also for rent and I want to invest something in our cohabitation, not only does he pay rent, bills, food, clothes and everything! That makes me feel super useless. Now I don't know what to do, how to tell them,

   I'm sorry you're in this situation and I don't want to criticize you, but you know who's crazy. There is a contract and you sign it, ie. you accept the terms. He actually fulfilled his contract and paid you as much as under the contract and above. This is a written document and it is written in black and white and it is documented what the conditions are. From then on, who said what, promised, understood ala-bala. Past-gone, said-unheard, unprovable, wind work. You take the risk of your own responsibility. You can't judge him or anything. He can always say that you didn't understand that he didn't say such a thing and you can't prove anything. Not to mention that you are breaking the law if you agree to hide taxes. So if the state protects you, it turns out that it tolerates tax evasion. As soon as you saw the contract, several things should have dawned on you: 1 - if there is no contract in black and white, under which he owes you EUROS 800, you can not prove that he owes them to you. Ie everything above the agreement that you pay will be entirely in good faith on his part, without any obligation or responsibility. 2 - if he is a gypsy for some 50-100 EUROS of insurance, with which he will be brought before the state and will not think whether they will catch him or not, why should he be fair to you, where he neither knows you nor anything? We all spit on employers, but in part we learned them that way. Do you know when a German will agree to provide him for 150 euros? When the blooms bloom. Leave him this and another time to know. If there is nothing written in black and white, you start at your own risk and generally do not expect a correct attitude. If you humiliate yourself with such gypsy things,

   Typically a woman's business ... you kept quiet, you thought they wouldn't lie to her. You are all like that, and then why do women get paid less than men - well, because you react like birds, you are silent and patient. Other times, if you catch such a line with bonuses, see in advance if your contract says exactly what and in what amount the bonuses are. I also receive bonuses of 3 euros per hour, which I worked on for a client's project. The hours are documented in an electronic system and the client's bills are sent from there. They can't help but pay me, because the contract says 3 euros per hour, and the hours are documented. What does your contract say about these bonuses? How much exactly and for what exactly should you receive?

   Either they lied to you and you will not receive the promised payment or they will give you the rest of the money in a cash envelope. But when it is not written in the contract means that they can always break the promise.

   It's like that everywhere ! I'm sorry to tell you, author, but unless your boss is your lover (as is the case with married men with children), then you have no chance !!!

   They are all miserable. When you go to work, look at what is written in your TD or the appointment order. If it says EUROS 100 - EUROS 100, if it says EUROS 10,000 - EUROS 10,000. This - bonuses-bonuses, etc. its a pure chase of the wind. They will always make you guilty and you will not take money. The more you work, the more you have to write it in black and white. They may promise you a million in fairy tales, if you write EUROS 200, you will not see more of them. Fifteen years ago, they offered me to write EUROS 500 in the TD, but to actually give me EUROS 1,500 or to write me EUROS 900 in the contract and receive the same amount before the deductions. Well, I chose the second option. And I'm not angry.

   The minimum salary in  is EUROS 560. Which makes a net EUROS 434. I think this is your case and they have not given you any bonuses. Read the contract again.

   From the author: Thank you for the comments and you are absolutely right that most of all it's my fault: D But it really never crossed my mind that they would lie to me so stupidly, this is my second job, the first one was also a horror , but they paid ok on time. Here, yes, I did it myself. Otherwise, I can say from today's update that three (!!!) colleagues have left and I announced that I will leave next week, not to mention that they have introduced new "rules", which are absolutely absurd ...

   When you agree to evade taxes, even if they are fair to you, you lose your rights. You are deprived of a normal pension by retiring, of maternity, of benefits in case of unemployment and illness, etc. benefits. Separately you bear criminal responsibility, you risk thousands of levs in fines. Last but not least, it is not fair to all Bulgarians who pay their taxes regularly. we all complain that everyone is a swindler, and at the same time the people themselves do not follow the rules.

   Obviously you don't have much experience. Never trust a Bulgarian employer! 90% of them are such fraudsters that you have no idea. And to believe in verbal agreements is completely stupid. They try to adjust things so that they do not pay you what is officially written in the contract, and you hope for bonuses! Leave, and another time smart. You do NOT sign anything before you have read it very carefully and you do not expect anything more than what is written in the contract. If they give you a bonus-super, but do not rely on it, on the contrary, there is a better chance that you will receive less money because of some of their imaginary fines and penalties. Look, they're very good at this! You will learn. Everyone has been lied to and, worst of all, there is no guarantee that they will not be lied to again. So at least we can read our contracts carefully, if nothing else.
