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,

    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.

    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.

        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…

          It’s ridiculous that study after study shows that treating your employees well always nets a return on the investment, but companies still pull this shit.
