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

    Hot take: a million dollar company is a small company. The owner better stop acting like his company is something exceptional

        Yeah, my dad owns a small construction company and it does multimillion worth of jobs a year, but he is a tiny small fry compared to the big companies. Hes not rich, but comfortable, and humble and doesnt flaunt it or talk like a big shot, or force people to work on the weekend. In fact, I think his business secret is how well he treats his employees, they are loyal and love him. A few guys have been working for him over 20 years. He pays right, gives great bonuses, and would come visit you at the hospital.

        Thats all to say, I really admire my dad and hes an inspiration to me. Hes also a committed Christian, of the best kind. He puts Christian principles to use and it shows in how he lives.

        I know, and have known terrible hypocritical Christians, and there are many. The kind that talk the talk but dont walk the walk. And im blessed to have a strong, kind Christian male roll model. I am also a Christian and strive to serve others.

        Now THAT was a random rant…

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

    “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.

        A million dollar company is relatively a small fry. That’s what an average auto repair shop can make in a year in revenue. Small companies are way more likely to break labor laws and treat their employees like shit.
