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.

    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”

    • 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.

    No, “your sick” makes perfect sense because it will become their sick when that employee brings it into work. Everyone can have the sick that way 👍

    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

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

    Million dollar company sounds impressive, but I don’t think that is impressive. Like twenty employees already imply a million or more in expenses annually, and require corresponding revenue to sustain.

      Yeah, I took it as it’s a barely functional company that’s being held together by hopes and dreams. The food vendors at my local state fair do millions in sales in just a few weekends. Per Wikipedia, Sweet Martha’s Cookies in 2023 made $4.6 million in 12 days.

      20 employees = 3-4 employees + 1 owner/CEO whose wife needs fake tits and many vacations, but yes otherwise

        Needs?

        People’s needs are things like food, water, air and Costco rotisserie chicken.

        In fact this ‘need’ could be easily fulfilled by two Costco rotisserie chickens taped to the chest and that way meals would be covered too.
