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

    Hey Jenny,

    Why does a million dollar company employ someone who can’t spell?

    Kind regards,

    pyre


    PS - Suck my entire dick.

    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.

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

      Never mind that surely a big company doesn’t explode the second someone calls in sick. The whole sign makes no sense at all.

      I’d say it’s a lukewarm take at best. A million dollar company is something like a small (<10 people) consulting agency or a couple hot dog stands in a relatively busy area. So like you said, nothing exceptional.

      Leaving out self-employed individuals and 2-3 person hair salons and the like, a million dollar revenue is not really something difficult to reach. Especially if you include things like retail, where moving any inventory increases revenue a lot. Even for companies outside retail, when keeping in mind how much one is able to bill for things like trades in the US, revenue increases quite quickly.

    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.

      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.

    “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.
