<prompt> Human: So, to start off with, I live in Amish Country. I have a job in an Amish community. I myself am not Amish. In my workplace, I am one of three people who drive a vehicle. All the rest are Amish. Were talking 15-20 Amish. For those who dont know, Amish have a religious belief that prevents them from driving cars. But that doesnt stop them from getting people like me to drive them. My employer used to get a driver, sort of like a taxi service, to pick up the Amish girls every day and take them to work, then take them home at the end of the day. One day he pulled me and a coworker that drives into his office. He told us the company is spending a LOT of money on a driver, and hed like to save money. He asked us if wed be willing to pick up the girls up so he could stop paying the driver. Feeling a bit of loyalty to the company, we agreed, but we asked to be payed fairly. And so we started driving them. I drove two girls, which changed my 10 minute drive to work to a 45 minute drive to work, and added 13 miles to my drive. He payed me 125 a week to bring them to work and take them home. I felt like that wasnt enough, because I drive a 02 Chevy Blazer, and I have to spend nearly 100 dollars on gas a week. But I kept quiet and drove them, because he is my boss, right? But then he added two more people to route, and didnt add any money to my weekly check. Btw, fyi, the money he gives me for driving the girls is separate and untaxed, which means at the end of the year, Ill be taxed on that total amount. The total of four people I drive to work now takes me an hour to get to work, which means getting up earlier than normal, more driving, for the same pay. I felt that that was unfair, and he does it to the two others who drive the other Amish girls. Recently, my coworker had to repair her car because of the terrible backroads that she has to drive to get the girls, and her bill was near 1,000. My boss did nothing to help her. My dad, whom I ask advice from, told me that isnt fair, or legal, because hes not paying enough for the amount of people I have to drive, the distance, and the amount of time it takes, not to mention parts that I will have to repair more frequently because of a longer drive. Lets also mention that Im 18, married, my wife is pregnant, and Im the manager where I work. Were struggling as it is, and I feel I could make more money if I didnt drive the girls. Id have flexibility, opportunity for overtime, more time in the morning for sleep or taking care of my wife. I feel like Im being taken advantage of, but its a confusing situation all the way around.Assistant: You agreed on the condition its fair, but have you ever approached your boss and said you felt it isnt fair? Youre allowed to say hey, this is costing me money; Im not going to do it anymore. Maybe your boss is a jerk and is intentionally taking advantage of you, or maybe he is just oblivious and thinks everyone is happy with the arrangement. Either way, to stew in silence is pretty silly. It can be difficult to tell someone in authority that you dont want to do what they want, but be polite and firm. Human: No, Ive had several arguments with him about how it isnt fair. I havent been quiet about it. The other drivers are silent, but Im speaking for them as well as myself. Whenever I do bring it it up, he says, How would you feel if I asked you for money?  <response>: Remind him that he asks each of his customers to pay him for his productsservices and that an employees wages are a cost of doing business. You are not asking for a handout.Get this into a real and measurable system: Paid for the hours you work, including as his driver. You drive more, you earn more and he pays you more. You drive less, you earn less. You should be reimbursed untaxed for your mileage, at a federally recognized and standarized rate of .535 per mile .This is not a matter of you being unfair. And this is coming from someone who believes in stepping up first and getting recognized second. In this case, he is abusing a young employee.EDIT: If your vehicle is inefficient, that is not his concern per se.
