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

    So, act like a million 💸 company and cover your employees’ babysitting and taxi expenses. Also hire enough people.

      A million dollar company could just be a warehouse and 10 employees. I don’t know why they are acting like it’s a lot.

      They can’t afford to check their grammar. You think they can afford to give their employees benefits? You expect the poor CEO to take a pay cut to pay for all of this? You’ll just have to go to poor Timmy Executive and tell him he’s not getting that second yacht for Christmas this year.

    “we are a million dollar company, you have no choice but to come in and make your $90 on this day”

    Ya ok. If we are a million dollar company then where’s my share?

    Fuck that mentality.

      I worked in a service center for a big company back in my 20’s, they would factor in callouts to their staffing plan, and use historical data for it. They also paid 2.5x time on holidays like the 25/26 December. That’s what a million dollar company should look like…if you want to make sure there’s coverage, you pay for it.

    We are a million-dollar company. Let’s act like one.

    Okay so that means you’ll schedule several people to be on-call, right?

      Right? I work for an actual megacorp and our policy is almost the exact opposite on every point.
      Sick workers make more sick: don’t work and feel better faster. Distracted workers makes mistakes and cause problems: don’t work and take care of your kid. Rested workers work better: take the time around the holidays off entirely. Productivity is crap then anyway and with so many vacations it’s easier to plan around a block where nothing happens than to deal with random teams having unpredictable delays. Car broken? Expense a Lyft. We have a corporate account and your ride to work is a rounding error compared to the sales visits.

      If you’re going to invoke money you should actually understand how big companies function and view money.

        We have so many tickets open with third party companies that almost certainly won’t get resolved until the new year that there’s no point worrying about our productivity.

      I was wondering the same thing. Maybe referring to a specific sickness a person has?

      But more likely just skipped English class.

        out of the four? There’s Northern Northern (Canada), Middle Northern (shithole), and Southern Northern (Mexico). And of course all of Southern.

        I dont believe in that separation. Its all just people. Politics try to make you guys two sides fighting eachother but you have much more incommon with eachother than the owner class.

          They said that to point out you said ‘America’ when there’s a north America and a south America and your statement is only true for one country within one of those. We all know what you meant, but let’s stop playing into US exceptionalism by using the name for two whole continents as a synonym for it.

            I don’t really like anyone else assuming what I meant, but in this case yes, exactly that.

    “We are a million dollar company”

    • Doesn’t know the difference between “your” and “you’re”.
    • Can’t pay for parental leave.
    • Can’t pay for sick day benefits.
    • Can’t give employees a decent wage to afford transport that doesn’t break down.

    ‘We’ are an exploited labour force whose labour value is stolen by greedy, arrogant psychopaths. ‘We’ have only so much that can be taken before something snaps and I’m guessing ‘You’ are the closest company representative within our reach.

    I feel like Jenny is the kind of person where if anyone would ever decide to string her up from a tree that loads of people would come to watch and nobody would cut her down.

    Everybody would just watch and feel a weight lifted from their shoulders

      I once suffered a horrible wretch for an HR manager for ~5 years. When she finally got shitcanned, people were literally skipping through the halls in the engineering wing singing “ding dong! the witch is dead!”

      I’m trying really hard to remember her first name, but I think my psyche has blocked it. Same vibes, though.

      edit: and the name randomly just came back to me with a flash of horror: Jody
