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

Fuck you, Jennifer B. Johnston.
Wrong, “you’re” and no attention to proper punctuation. I’m going to take your job and unionize your workplace, Jenny.
Also “lets”.
And put a cover on those TPS reports!
This would just make me call off out of pure spite
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.
Did it spread like crazy? I had an old job where my boss was like that. Well until the whole company caught covid at the same time. Instead of being down 1 or 3 people, we had to shut down for a week. We lost so much money and some customers.
Yeah it wasn’t great but there was obviously no policy change. During my four year tenure there, we went through six managers if that says anything.
A million dollars?!
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:
- that doesn’t make it ok. in my situation, we all enjoyed it and we’re compensated for it. that’s why it worked.
- 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 because you’re not paying people enough to be there
Million dollar company’s war on Christmas.
So, act like a million 💸 company and cover your employees’ babysitting and taxi expenses. Also hire enough people.
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.
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.
Assuming they mean revenue, i did more than that working out of an RV one year.
Walter?
A “million dollar company” could be pulled directly out of their ass. Jenny’s illiteracy doesn’t inspire confidence in her accounting skills.
I’ve seen monthly AWS bills bigger than that, every time I look at the damn dashboard.
Where I live, a million dollars doesn’t buy you a house. So I don’t know what this bitch is talking about.
We currently own two modest houses until the spring when we will sell one, but right now that makes me a million dollar company.
Trailer trash thinks it’s a lot.
Yes, except “hire enough people”. You can’t staff enough to cover 4 out of 8 employees off from a combination of sick, bereavement, and vacation.
It happens. All you can do is prioritize tasks, make it work the best you can with the resources you have, and manage expectations.
If the work can’t be rescheduled, and isn’t worth paying someone OT to cover, well, then, it’s not worth doing.
Maybe she sincerely means ‘million dollar company’, a company too dirt poor to pay to have adequate coverage…
Spring for the spell check function for management.
Wouldn’t do much good in this case - “your” and “lets” are actual words.
and you need to know grammar to use a grammar checker. My paper in uni I decided to just hit corels gramatik and accept all changes (did it a few times just for funsies) that paper went from above acceptable to an atrocious mess in no time
Word processors also have grammar checkers. Hell, my phone gave me a blue line while I typed this comment.
Also have some professionalism and make sure your management knows how to spell
I mean, you’re not a slave, so they can’t force you in. Lol. I’d look for a new job and quit without notice during a busy shift Jenny is working.
Lol, a million dollar company? That’s like the bare fucking minimum to be a business with a physical location, and more than 2 people on your payroll.
The command of written English for this note, however, belies the claim of “million dollar company” and comes off more as a fly-by-night operation taking place in a rundown Hong Kong alley.
‘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.
a million dollar company is, what, like, 10 employees?
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.
I have no sympathy for a company that makes their employees work on Christmas Eve.
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.
