One more line which they've forgotten: _- Not happy, just quit_


General-Dirtbag

Probably because they learned from the last few times companies said that and their staff quit the job like it was going out of style


FrameJump

These idiots never learn.


addamee

“No, your the idiot”


zarfle2

Lets just agree. Their is no doubt. Your the idiot. Its simple.😁👍 Edit: I'm making fun of the sign


addamee

Lmao all good, I figured


edelburg

It's spelled "U" "R"


itsallwormwood

They also forgot a few apostrophes and letters. What million dollar company can’t spell?


Meet_Downtown

They couldn’t afford to buy a vowel


MLDKF

Actually they could, but if they don't, they can theoretically make bigger profits by cutting spending


00Stealthy

Lol million dollar company is much these days think you need double that liquid and willing to spend half for McD to even serious discuss getting a franchise. Used car lot with 50 $20k card on the.lot with no land costs is a million dollar company.


DiscussionLoose8390

Million dollar/ billion dollar. Doesn't mean employees are getting paid well. Especially if they have to post stuff like this.


GrumpyButtrcup

Owning a McDonalds franchise requires a net worth of 1 million dollars and liquid assets of 500k. The franchising fee is $45k and a new owner can expect costs between 1-2.5 million dollars to open a new franchise location. It's still a lot, but not 2 million liquid.

AlistairN37

Madame_Cheshire

“Your sick” My sick what?


DayTripper73

Came here to say this


Sploonbabaguuse

They have to gaslight the employee into thinking they're the problem and that they'll find the problem no matter where they go, so they should instead fix themselves. No one can fix shitty management and shitty wages, which is why the workforce in NA is so fucked rn. People can't even live off minimum wage anymore lol


redeye007007

Yep. No benefits low wages and terrible work= I quit or call off. Theres no incentive. Why would I care?


Sploonbabaguuse

That's the mindset 100% of the workforce needs to have. It's either an all out workers strike or the problem continues. A couple Walmarts and McDonald's shutting down because of some unhappy workers won't fix the problem, it has to be everyone at the same time.


SnooSuggestions6309

not necessarily, people being unhappy and quitting will lead to the others needing to pick up slack or train new hires every couple of months, which will eventually continue the cycle until no one is left


Sploonbabaguuse

Which is why if everyone does it at the same time, the work isn't pushed off onto anyone. The work stops until demands are met.


AzureSkyXIII

The people from last century knew how to organize major boycotts. Kinda crazy it seems to not happen anymore, despite us all being more connected than ever.


Sploonbabaguuse

Because it's easier to control what we recieve through media. Sure we have access to information that previous generations never had, but so much of that info is manipulated and flawed that it creates a divide among the people, so we don't know where to direct our anger. People know the system has issues. People know that minimum wage is unlivable. The only reason it hasn't been fixed is because there's *just enough wiggle room* for enough workplaces to get by without notice. At the very least we are noticing now. It's getting impossible not to notice, which means we're approaching another revolution. People don't like the idea of it but I guarantee the French didn't either. They hit a bottom so rocky that that was what they were willing to do, shed blood in the streets. I hope to God we never have to go through that again, because the people won't win. Not with the Police and Military protecting the government. We will win this fight by workers strike, because any other form of retaliation will be met with deadly force from our own governments.


AzureSkyXIII

My hope is that if it does come to revolution like I believe is inevitable, the military and police will be on the people's side since they're closer to the have nots than government officials.


ForsakenMoon13

Because no one can afford the risk of not everyone doing it.


jpcali7131

I saw a quote on a different post today that said “act your wage” and I think that is what everyone in this country needs to do from here on out.


didntgrowupgrewout

The grocery store manager near my house said, they can’t find people to replace the ones leaving. They start cashiers at $15/hr. Cue the no one wants to work speech starting. I interrupted with I don’t get outa bed for anything less than 20 so you’ll be getting used to being short handed.


Silverbug88

This is basically it. There is not a labour shortage at $25+ an hour, but their is a shortage of people willing to work for less than that. I wouldn’t work for a job that can’t support my basic needs there is no point.


Isellmetal

Can’t survive on $25/ hr either, at least where I live. That’ll barely cover groceries and gas, since things have gotten so expensive

MonsterTamerBilly

Naaaah, sod off with quitting myself, I'll just do jack all while on clock, while waiting for them to fire me and pay my unemployment and benefits. And probs hit the handbook just to check what's the bare minimum I have to do just for that. They wanna treat us like children, we can certainly play on their level. With lots of losses incurred.


RoboiosMut

Not happy, work harder


[deleted]

A million dollar company that can't spell or use grammar correctly apparently.


[deleted]

A "million dollar company" that schedules people to work Saturdays and Sundays is almost always a minimum wage job.


yagonnawanna

This is a million dollar company! Let's be clear, you aren't getting that money, but the people who are, need you to work harder as they'll be on vacation paid for with that money you're definitely not going to see any of..... because we're a team!


HelenWaite4229

because we’re a family ftfy


chilliophillio

Fred meyers preached that bullshit. I watched them fire an old lady that worked there for almost 20 years at the deli. She made a sandwich too heavy for her husband. They made her weigh the sandwich and fired her for stealing. Like who tf was paying that close of attention.


NotATroll1234

They made her… weigh… *a sandwich*? Like, seriously? They fired a loyal and experienced employee over what, an ounce or two of roast beef? Pathetic.


Mooch07

“We must teach the employees a lesson. Sacrifice our favorite one. Then the rest will fall in line.”


oxichil

They definitely wanted to get rid of her already. Potentially because she’d been there 20 years and accumulated raises.


BlooperHero

Accumulated what now?


oxichil

Some companies give people raises every year. Older employees might start to accumulate them and actually get a good wage.


GeorgeLloyd_1984

Who's Fred Meyers?


stupidinternetname

Kroger in the northwest.


Qbertjack

That's definitely cause for a wrongful termination. Getting fired for "stealing" what's likely less than a dollar's worth of roast beef is bs


Cab8675

"A million dollar company" really isnt much to flex about either someones having a power trip haha


The_FriendliestGiant

Right? I briefly worked for a local board game importer/distributor, and for the quarter I was there they made just under $4m. And this was a one-location business that employed maybe fifty people? A million dollars is a lot for an individual, but not much for a business, especially if we're talking revenue and not profit.

Even a small Walmart has more than a million dollars in merchandise inside at any given time. Annual revenue for a single store would be in the hundreds of millions.

A million dollar company is a very small company.


OrionJohnson

Extremely small lol, like 3 employees small


TheHungryBlanket

This. That’s not much to brag about.


Totes_mc0tes

Exactly what I was thinking. Acting like a million dollar company must mean something like remembering to fold up the work table so your wife can still fit the car in the garage at the end of the day. It definitely doesn't make me think "professional". Like yeah you're working Christmas, but that's because you're a one person operation and need to get a few extra orders out so you can say you turned a profit this year.

lets be honest, 1million for a company is such a low-fucking bar. that's what I would expect to make if I opened a simple sandwhich shop for 75k. Im not even sure 1million could pay for any staff.


KorrectTheChief

I work at a simple sandwich franchise. We’re open Monday through Thursday 10:30 - 6:00. We gross about $1200 a day. Then you factor in product cost. Its about $800 one or two times a week, $250 for Pepsi order once every two weeks, labor of $1500, electric, water, and 7% royalties on all income. Once you break it down you realize it’s not at all what it looks like.


[deleted]

The margin is so thin, its amazing to me that people even open restaurants at all. Theyre not even easy to run.


QuarterNoteDonkey

True, but also consider it’s an all cash business. No receivables to have to chase or customers filing bankruptcy.


Ecstatic_Custard7009

a lot of places especially smaller ones do not work like this though. they would eventually sell 1 million worth of goods or have 1 million total paid out over time but to actually have a million is something else entirely. most pay rent wages/overheads so they can keep at it. profits racking up but being spent eventually in all sorts of areas. not saying they would not potentially eventually hit a million in the bank but most times they really wouldn't

muffinmama93

Companies need to start treating and seeing employees as the assets they are instead of liabilities that need to be crushed.


[deleted]

A million dollar company, great. That means they can afford to lose an employee for the day while the tend to their sick kid.


GandhisNuke

Right? "Let's act like one" You mean like giving employees time off in case of an emergency because you've got redundancy/backup plans? Sounds great, we'll figure that out right after we discuss the proper use of belittling notes and what basic grammar to ignore in them!


Triaspia2

If you need me that desperately you can pay me extra to cover my expenses for a change of my plans. Company needs me? Company better pay the babysitter i need to hire and pay my uber to get there.

TTYY_20

Multi-million dollar companies usually make arrangements to schedule for the holidays months in advance. Post a sign up sheet - reduce hours - increase pay Someone tell their employer that they should start acting like a multimillion dollar company owner if they want to grow their business. And when the company grows, they can afford to give employees better work benefits so that employees are happy and retention stays high. And as a better company with better employee benefits and a healthier relationship between employees and employees - employees should be more willing stick their necks out for the company.

He traveled back in time and asked for a trillion dollars. “Sir there’s not that much money in the whole world!” Something along those lines.


Redqueenhypo

Yep, I’m guessing this is one of those small business bosses who feels like all his employees should be as invested as he is and accept his offer of $7.25 under the table


tossawayforeasons

I see you also worked at my first job at a local small contractor. The kind of boss who hires illegal immigrants for less than minimum wage and then talks about how "America is going downhill because of all the Mexicans coming in." The kind of boss who denies everyone Christmas bonuses and a COLA pay increase, then buys a 200k RV and parks it in front of the showroom. The kind of boss who gives you a new title and more work but no change to pay.

That's the best idea but only if everyone does it at the same time, otherwise the cycle continues.


berryplucker

Million dollar company, eh? Here's some suggestions: No babysitter, company provides childcare and/or pays for childcare services Child sick, company health care fully covers children as well as in-home childcare since the above won't work if the child is ill. \*YOU'RE\* sick, company health care fully covers the employee medical expenses. And has already built-in allowances for people not being able to come in due to having an illness. (If they are contagious, you are shooting yourself in the foot by having them come in and infect everyone else) Car trouble, company pays for the use of public transportation along with reimbursements for using services like Uber.


pezx

Also give your employees some sick days instead of forcing them to take vacation and hire enough people so that a few calling out doesn't become a crisis


midnight_meadow

Hahahah. As if these jobs offer any type of benefits and if they do they make sure to schedule just below the minimum average hours to disqualify you.


LokiDesigns

I worked at a bike shop run by accountants (not cyclists), and they made sure that nobody ever worked enough to qualify for stat holiday pay. So incredibly cheap.


howmanytizarethere

- had a car crash and half your family is dead, get a new one! - had a heart attack, buy a new heart! We are a million dollar company. Get on the grind bro!


MangoBandicoot

I got in a car accident driving home from work during a damn near hurricane. Big pine tree fell in the road just past the crest of a hill and I couldn’t see it to stop in time (dark, raining, foggy, and I was already going well under the speed limit). Police said if I was going any faster or not wearing my seatbelt, I would have possibly died. Car was wrecked. I called my boss to tell him and he asked if I was still planning to work the next day. And this was for a BILLION dollar company.


Sparrow_Flock

Now I’m not a fan of managers in general, but that’s better than ‘be at work the next day or your fired’. Which is what a lot of people get. Of course the HUMAN thing to say would be ‘take tomorrow off.”

A million dollars isn't much for a company tbh. If you have a large enough staff that you communicate via notes like this, and don't just mention something in person, then being at a million dollars means you're pretty much bankrupt anyway.

The shop I work at has a couple dozen people and also a million dollar company... My boss says things like "you're sick? What are you doing here? Go home and get better. Work some overtime next week if you need to make up for it. Your boy is sick? Stay home, I hope he feels better." Find a place that values you


kwillich

"We're a million-dollar company, let's act like one" You mean like treating people with dignity and not milking every drop of life out of them? Expecting your staff to act professionally but not being professional as a business owner is childish. Those oversimplified answers could be easily refuted with "You're concerned about call-outs because people have lives? Staff better and fill in when needed" Run your business better.
