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 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.

i mean you'd think a million dollar company would be able to afford time off for christmas
I dunno. $1M sounds like a really small company….
My sick?
Yes your sick. If your sick is sick buy it some medicine
This only happens in America. You guys have it bad over there.
a company worth 1 million is basically a 1-5 person office.
One of them ain't much of a person
Little devil on my shoulder screaming “Reply All: *You’re”
Seems no one noticed lets should be let's, as in let us.
Hey look, a giant sign telling you to unionize
FTFY
This would just make me call off out of pure spite
If you want me to show up on Christmas, just pay me enough to show up on Christmas. It's really that simple, you're a million dollar company, act like it.
Okay then a million dollar company will pay for the Uber
Not even for the arrogance or lack of a weekend; but for the poor grammar and spelling. I don't wanna work for a moron.
"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.
A million isn't that much for a company, especially if that's revenue.
Hey Jenny,
Why does a million dollar company employ someone who can't spell?
Kind regards,
pyre
PS - Suck my entire dick.
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

But am I a millon dollar employee?

Probably from Reddit. You'd need to look there
Edit: reverse looked up the image. this is a repost over 3 years old. Good luck
nOoNE wAnTs tO wOrk...
'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.
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.
