It amazes me that people who can't distinguish between 'your' and 'you're' are allowed to manage people

Also, they're a million dolar company. Learn when a comma doesnt cut it, and you need to upgrade to a colon, semicolon or a dash.

My Starbucks tried to do this shit a decade ago. I came in with the flu and made sure to let everyone know that the manager just wouldn't accept me calling in.

"we're just gonna go on strike"

We had a guy call in one day saying he couldn’t make it as he was having car problems. Boss says he didn’t even know he had a car. Guy replies: I don’t. That’s the problem.

Call off ahead of time to really let them know how much you give a shit.

Million dollar company sounds impressive, but I don't think that is impressive. Like twenty employees already imply a million or more in expenses annually, and require corresponding revenue to sustain.

a million dollar company is, what, like, 10 employees?

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

That's probably why they're desperate for no call offs. In this day a million dollar company still feels like it's constantly on the edge of collapse. No pity for jenny though, if you can't manage around your workforce taking time off during the holidays that's bad management.

yeah, I've been with my current company as we've grown from like a million dollars in sales to 20 times that

at a million dollars in sales, it was like five of us doing everything and we all worked so much to get it all done and build things to grow as time went on. so while I think this is opposite of what Jenny is trying to convey, a million dollar company would likely require no callouts at critical times.

now, two points:

  1. that doesn't make it ok. in my situation, we all enjoyed it and we're compensated for it. that's why it worked.
  2. a multi-million dollar company, with like 50+ employees, that's I think what Jenny is trying to get at, real "big company" shit — in which case, a proper company such as that can handle a few callouts, else they are by definition not a company with their shit together

edit: also this is almost definitely retail so like yeah fuck Jenny, if somebody is sick, they're sick. maybe close the store on Christmas if this is always an issue

Jennifer Aniston is an asshole boss.

This is all Jenny has (besides her cats, of course)

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Seems like she'd be more of a super inbred and aggressive dog type.

Making people come to work while sick hurts the company in the long run. It makes more workers sick and less productive

No, "your sick" makes perfect sense because it will become their sick when that employee brings it into work. Everyone can have the sick that way 👍

I'm getting flashbacks of the management team at the Home Depot I worked at briefly in my college years. Worst job I've ever had. Management treated us in with absolute disdain, honestly shameful to talk to other people in that manner regardless of the situation.

For someone in a supervisory / managerial role to post a notice like this, it's a sure sign things are completely rotten all the way to the top. I feel sorry for the folks that truly feel like they need that job.

[–] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I couldn't agree more. Acting like a million dollar company is important.

A million dollar company would recognize that reliable, continuous production and sales is more important to growth than the occasional hickup or a few extra bucks in the payroll budget. Thus, the million dollar company would hire sufficient staff that an occasional absence, even at a critical moment, would not harm production or sales.

And a million dollar company would recognize that hiring sufficient staff is a wiser and more cost effective strategy than a possible labor lawsuit along with the associated bad PR.

Nah, you're thinking of a hundred-plus-million dollar company. Being understaffed and disastrously managed is about right for a million dollar company.

No one ever accused any level of management of being intelligent. They're just liked by the higher ups. At the executive level, they're just heartless and mentally ill.

By the way, many European countries need qualified workers. 😉
