Ah yes, the whole 'if you don't do x y and z YOU are letting the team down, YOU are making them do extra work. It's like no bitch, this company makes millions in profits, hire extra people or pay people the extra they are worth. Damn, makes me so mad.
Yeah I'm actually realizing that a lot lately. "Team player" is a phrase concocted by upper management to trick people into believing they're doing something good for the whole of the "team" when in actuality they are taking advantage of you. The whole team player thing is a myth. In all the years I've worked in various jobs I've never felt like those people were my teammates at all.
Worked a place once where in the *same* speech they praised us for record-breaking profits they also said we were continuing the hiring freeze and unable to do raises because we didn't have the budget.
3:00 It's illegal to deny leave requests without valid reason. It's a form of wage theft, stealing the contracted benefits from the employee. Leave denied is leave pay stolen.
@@user-ye6pg6fh9s allotted PTO/sick/p/maternity leave is a separate wage budget for you that they have to have available in their specific accounts. In the contract, you are given an allotted amount of PTO and that amount is a wage/compensation of its own category that you are contractually allowed to use at your discretion. Them disregarding that after you already scheduled PTO is a breach of contract and often has problems processing moving your already deducted amount around the financing departments back into your account if it's later denied.

I use a free number I get from an app, so when they call me from work I just take the notifications off and not worry about work at all. Altough I should answer if I am drinking, I can be an ass when people annoy me during my sacred drinking time 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I worked a driving job. They tried to call me on days off. "Sorry man, I've had four beers. You do not want me on the road." 'Yeah, have a good one.' I mean I felt for the dispatcher. But a day off is a day off. Not my fault the owner doesn't want to pay better or hire more.
I was the one telling people I want to finish on time because I have to do my shopping, eat and do laundry. They looked at me like I was crazy. And how come ALL companies are ALWAYS short staffed for like FOREVER?
Veronica is the best at dealing with these work place situations. This is an excellent cartoon example of how not to let your boss take advantage of the employees.
"We don't have the money to hire a new worker..." "But, you have the money to pay us overtime, which does give you the funds to hire a new worker." At time and a half overtime pay, that is enough to hire a new worker plus pay for their healthcare and the company would save about 3 dollars per hour doing it that way, but they prefer to stress workers and weed them out through attrition...
Is Crazy that happen to me i told my boss well at this point change me from hourly to exempt employee that mean they have to bomp my pay to 52 a hour to balance my work load since i was doing the job of a nother employee that got fire they will have save more money that hire a new one @blackrock1961
Did you know . Federal Reserve data shows that as of 2021, the top 1% of households in the United States held just under 40% of the US wealth, while the bottom 50% held less then 3% . And the split is getting wider .
some of these are so true... especially the 'not in the budget' speech. pfft. I quit the last place that started that BS. 3 years later and my ex coworker is still working shorthanded and NO RAISES. Most of the others already quit.
Veronica sounds like a mixture of Aubrey Plaza's role as Emily in "Emily the Criminal" & her role as April Ludgate in "Parks and Recreations"! ❤ Jokes aside, great content!!! Power to the People! People over Profit! Solidarity for the Working Class!
I get to be this guy, but. I did three years in the army. I am now the owner of a company it’s a small company, but it’s a company. A wise commander listens to the nature of the gripes of his persons. And if people were talking the way they talking about this chief executive officer the way they would have about me as an executive, it would be an embarrassment. Not genuinely taking care of the stasis of your stakeholders is a mistake. Studies have shown better quality of life produces better work logarithmically. Then you get trustworthy employees that you can count on to actually be a part of the company, And ultimately it generates a better product and brand loyalty. It’s good for them in the long term, but it’s a long term investment. I’m not sure why company is obsessed with quarterly profits and then become surprised that their selection bias is only a quarter long. Unable to connect emotionally or mentally to what a longer term investment would be for the company for themselves and even though it’s more expensive upfront like nuclear energy, the return investment is much better. That being said, the prideful garbage about raising one’s salary at the expense of your people is insane!!! Bad ldrship and bad leadership!
That last africant sounds like she works for (or is employed by) the government. "See what I'm sayin'? Like do you get me?" "Y'all don't be judging me.."
Whatever she randomly thinks to make you do. Anything she doesn't feel like doing will fall onto your head. I wonder who started the "communication glitch. Hello, hello sorry you're breaking up, I can't hear you Click."
These videos remind me of something.I learned long ago if you are a good employee.Give a 110% and help whenever possible.You will be rewarded in other words.No good deed goes unpunished
Were I in Veronika's shoes in the first clip, I'd've started asking if the 'additional duties' required various increasingly asinine requests. Will I be instructed to haul 50-pound boxes? Will I be instructed to scrub the toilets? Will I be instructed to re-shingle the roof? Will I be instructed to spend an entire shift rearranging the fourth floor cubicles? Will I be instructed to wax the CEO's car? Will I be instructed to feed and water the parking lot? Will I be instructed to stand on a desk, shake my booty like there's no tomorrow, and declare myself the king's finest dunce? Cuz I just wanna make sure I know where the line is drawn, y'all. I wanna know if the 'additional duties' will stray into territories I'm uncomfortable with. I'm okay with reasonable 'additional duties', but things that stray too far outside of the duties listed in the role are a no-go. You don't have your accounts payable scrubbing the toilets- you hire someone else for that. You don't have your secretary fixing broken equipment- you hire someone else for that. Things too far outside the job description should be relegated to another job.
Team player? Yeah, okay. In the Navy I had a master chief who complained to us that we didn't have teamwork. I told him, "In order to have teamwork, you gotta have a team. And we don't have a team." He asked for my recommendations. I said, "Fire everybody and start over." He always came to me when he wanted to know the truth, even if it was not what he wanted to hear. Why? Because Petty Officer Johnson, our LPO, would hide things from him, things he needed to know. I had a great working relationship with him. He came to me one day with my evals and they were very mediocre. I told him, "If those are the marks I'm getting, then I'm gonna have to ratchet down my performance." "What do you mean?" I told him, "I'm working way too hard to get those marks. I have collateral duties and I handle a lot of cash. There are people in this division with no collateral duties and no responsibilities at all and they get better marks than this." He looked at my evals and next thing I know they got significantly better. Those I signed. Sometimes you have to pull a Veronica and speak your mind.

That is what we do, and our team director makes sure we have the resources on hand to provide adequate coverage when team member is on PTO.

what is that with the butterfly and the bee? different voice, different words, different character ... only same name and same cartoon picture? ... huh?
The problem with getting the upper salary limit is that they make you “pay” for it by squeezing the life out of you. Had a gig like that that fought the salary request but after caving made my life a living hell. I put up with it for almost a year because of the $ but cut loose because it just wasn’t worth it. Suggest walking away if they dig in their heels at the get go. This is a lesson I learned the hard way.
A few years ago, my Missus put in for 2 weeks PTO/annual leave. It was granted, but then her manager said that she couldn't take her annual leave because they were short of staff. She lost out on that annual leave.

A stick figure cartoon at that.
Actually, these animated skits are made with stolen content from the actual Veronica. And her skits are top-tier.

When my work calls me on my day off I just tell them that I’ve been drinking. Even if it’s before noon
Haha, you sound fun!

On my days off if they call. I send a bill. Its 4x the amount I get paid.
The word "team players" triggered me 😂
A fancy corporate word for slaves
When dealing with toxic management, it drives you to become a minimum employee, match the energy…
People tell me get a job, I’ll never get hired as Veronica is my job coach.
I was the one telling people I want to finish on time because I have to do my shopping, eat and do laundry. They looked at me like I was crazy.
And how come ALL companies are ALWAYS short staffed for like FOREVER?
My opinion just talking lol -Because the ceos keep taking out bonuses causing the supervisors to get rid of employees to stay afloat.
Because they actually view employees as slave labor. Look up "dead peasant insurance".
It doesn't sound like an urgent or important task, but taking care of yourself is essential in life.
😂 'That Butterfly and Bee' part! Lol 😂.
The uno reverse of “what qualifications can I drop?” was amazing!
If all employees treated their employers this way, we would have fair pay and less headaches.
And probably
No jobs

I so wish I had seen these videos while I was still working…
So a team player works extra hours without additional pay or recognition. That just doesn't work. That means people are letting themselves lose eyney.
In retrospect, I wish I would have had your confidence and Chutzpah during my career. Now I’m retired, but I love your videos. I can truly relate!
