I can’t believe OP’s boss was genuinely expecting him to tell the military that he can’t make it to his duties because his boss is forcing him to work those days. If I were OP, I would have quit right then and there after he said “figure it out”.
@@mariareneemongearaujo6911 I got the impression from the story that the guy liked the business and the owner and it was just the manager who was the problem. He didn't want to screw over the company due to one manager who turned toxic, so instead gave the owner a chance to handle it internally. What does surprise me is if he had the contact info for the owner and was on good enough terms with him to have his opinion on the manager solicited, why didn't he just call the owner to complain about the toxic behavior?
@@randomstuff-qu7sh That was my impression as well from the way the conversation with the owner went. So I think that the military guy did a really good job at both protecting the business for the sake of the owner and making sure the toxic boss would get what was coming to him.

I went to a food truck that sold poutine - basically french fries with gravy and cheese curds. The menu listed a few options like bacon topped poutine. I asked for a plain poutine and was told it wasn't on the menu, that I had to order straight from the menu. So I asked for a bacon poutine, hold the bacon. The guy stared at me for several seconds then laughed sheepishly and made my order.
I wonder if the cash register was one of the sort that has keys labeled with the menu items only...ask for something not on the menu, and even if they have the materials to make it, they're not sure which key to push to ring it up XD The weirdest food truck incident I had was a food truck that accepted only credit/debit, but due to merchant fees, had a $10 minimum (even though most items on the menu cost less than $10). To get around the $10 minimum rule, those of us waiting in line just combined our orders.
My boss at a job i had just after joining tried to fire me for not showing up for a shift that was on my drill weekend. I had given her the schedule months prior and it also said "you legally have to give this employee the time off and its really bad if you dont"

It's ridiculous that some people think they can get away with that. They think they can get away with ticking off the military or telling their employee they can't go to jury duty because they have to work, but it always bites them in the rear unless their employee doesn't know their rights to get them into trouble. It can all be avoided too if these bosses were decent human beings not on a power trip.
@@akl2k7 Even if someone who has jury duty doesn't know their rights the government certainly does. Because you can't just send an email saying 'I can't come'. As soon as such an email is received steps get taken. The person in question is contacted to ask why and believe me, they WILL figure out the reason someone can't attend jury duty. After that, as far as I know, the business will be contacted one way or another and will be told, in no uncertain terms, that their employee will, in fact, be coming to serve on the jury or a hefty fine will be sent their way. I think it's even possible for someone to be sent to jail if they prohibit an employee from attending jury duty. So... even if someone's unaware of their rights, the government will make damned sure their rights are upheld.
@@DvanderPluijm I got called for jury duty twice (two different States). I wrote back both times saying, "are you sure? I'm not an American." The courts wrote back and said, "No, you're good. Thanks for letting us know."

As a dog owner I feel the need to interject something here. If that dog found 5 piles of dog "cologne" to roll in, that's a telltale sign of at least 5 irresponsible pet parents who couldn't be bothered to clean up after their fur baby. You people are disgusting. Nobody wants to have to smell, look at, step in, and especially clean up after your "child" no matter where they leave their mess, not to mention that it's a vehicle for potentially contaminating the environment with pathogens and parasites. And it's not just other dogs that may be exposed to these things. Children may also play in those areas.

I'm a veteran, and I laughed so hard at the military guy's story. In my 9 years in the service, I learned one particular lesson: the words "Can you put that in writing?" DESTROY PROBLEMS. NO ONE wants to put their name to anything, so the moment you ask of things in writing, the problem magically vanishes.
The ice cream story - years ago my father and seven colleagues entered a pub where, unknown to them, the owners thought it uncouth to sell beer in pints! So when they ordered eight pints they were refused and told they only serve it in half pints. That'll be sixteen half pints and sixteeen dirty glasses then!
There are some bars that limit their beer serving size for liability reasons. Some of the increased focus on drunk driving has splashed over onto the bars serving the drunk drivers, resulting in rules against serving alcohol to those who are visibly drunk, and other such rules.
The ex landlord of my local used to refuse to serve women pints. They could order red or white wine. In a glass. Bear in mind this place is 30 seconds away from a university. He didn't last long.

A metric shit-ton is 264.2 gallons. The average price of ice cream in the US is $9.50 per gallon. A metric shit-ton of ice cream is, on average $2509.90. That's 1321 pounds (599.20 kg) of ice cream. This does not qualify for bulk transport rates, which means we need to discuss end-user frozen goods transport costs, which after accounting packaging, comes to about $9 per pound if shipping in the US. This means it will cost $11889 to transport your metric shit-ton of ice cream. This means the cost of goods is $14,398.90. Add in about 20% for a very generous labor cost for crating, handling, and logistics to get the ice cream to you and the retail cost comes to $17278.68. You want a metric shit-ton of ice cream? Give me your address and I'll bill you $17000.
I was in the Army reserves in the early 90s I had a boss try to deny me time off for military duty, a phone call from my first sergeant and I was all set
im thankful that my boss was army as well so when i had to do drill he just worked around it and the owners were great too when i got back from drill they would tell me to pick up my lunch from the deli and it was on them to thank me for my service (gotta love greek owners of businesses they know how to treat their workers)

I think the ice cream server was probably a kid employee, not the owner or higher up employer, it'd explain the lack of understanding how math works, didn't listen in class got a job that easy for him to do and suddenly a customer came along who questioned further than just accepting they don't sell a gallon of ice cream where as others would hear they don't sell that much and either buy less or just leave instead
He should have said "we don't sell it in that size. Would smaller containers be okay?" Not "we can't sell you that much." And he certainly should not have been snark about it
@@zebrahunter6956 probably didn't like working there which backs what I said about being a kid employee, alot of kids get a job they think will be a walk in the park but then realize it's shit, we all go thru it, he hates the ice cream job and doesn't realize it's better to suck it up and get a job elsewhere or if you act like a terrible staff member it'll reflect on you etc, but yeah definitely should of offered a different size instead of eventually mentioning all sizes

its probly just me but the op on the first story sounds like a douche. especially since he started off saying that the boss was "great at first", then all of a sudden he becomes a dick with barely an explanation as to why that happend. Knowing how pampered and snobby officers were in the military when i was in, I suspect that he probly expected to be treated like royalty at his workplace
@@timd4821 well OP most likely didn't know why their boss turned into a dick which is probably why he was a dick right back to his "at first, friendly boss" lol but when I was in, the only snobby officer I ever encountered was a CPT from a pog unit that transfered to the infantry. All the other officers I knew that were in the infantry from the start were pretty squared away. Seeing as how this dude is a pog, AND in the reserves... I dont doubt they were snobby and douchey as all hell. Lol

That ice cream story… a family member of mine is a traveling salesman. He repeated shows new hires a three stooges episode of them trying to sell “brighto” and failing as they usually do. The hires are always a bit confused why he shows them the episode. He tells them “know your products.” The stooges didn’t k is what brighto was and cause a bunch of damage. This ice cream salesman didn’t know his product.
USERRA! Every supervisor and manager should know it. You can't deny a guardsman/guardswoman, Reservist, or Coast guard member time off for military service. Not only can you be held libel, but your company can as well. Not a good move by OP's manager.
Military here. The owner was beyond stupid. You CANNOT force a SM to work in the civie job on the day he/she has drill or has official orders to a different location. You're pretty much telling DoD "he's my employee and it's my rules. Sue me."
It was the manager who did that, not the owner. Two different people. The owner took care of it and was quite likely VERY upset that the moron manager was trying to get his business in serious trouble with the Feds.
Or, as I like to summarize it: If you are a middle manager, there are many people you have the authority to mess with. The people who own tanks are *not* one of those people.
I understand your frustration with the ice cream story, RSlash. If you’re working in food service, you need to know all your weights, numbers, and measurements for these things. It’s essential and convenient for the job.
@@rhondasherrill4006 You got me there. I don’t know how many grams are in an ounce. And being an American isn’t much of an excuse. But we definitely know that 4 quarts equals a gallon.
7:50 reminds me of when my mom and I were heading in to wait in line for a ballgame and she had her bag containing medications including insulin for her diabetes. The security stop her and before she could explain the guy said she can't bring her bag, it's too big (size of a lunch bag not big) and how security at gate would deny it. Everytime she try talking he would interrupt. Finally she goes "I'm diabetic it contains my medications." That shut him up.
I once had a 1SG that would yell at my dudes for shit like that. “Why didn’t you complete this arbitrary task before I told you to do it?” Problem is, a lot of military leadership is as toxic if not more toxic than that middle manager.
rSlash, retired military here. If OP did not show up for work and was fired due to having to attend drill, the business would be in what we call “the hurt locker”. With it being a small business, they would not really get in much trouble, but OP could contact the labor board and file a complaint. The business would have no leg to stand on and would have to pay out damages (comp and puni). With it being unpaid time, it would not be much. The biggest hit would be the mark against them at the labor board. I would also foresee that middle manager out on his ass so fast his shadow would be 5 seconds behind him. Hell, maybe the business would sell his office stuff to make up for the loss (j/k).
Man all I got to say about that first story is wow that manager got so lucky that he wasn't dealing with the military but instead he just got told by the owner what he's supposed to do and what he can't do but I would have just love to see his face the moment military Soldier that's higher in rank show up to this dude's office and literally tell him that if he does not let Opie go to his drills that they're going to bring them into court if it only involve the manager and hopefully not the owner because I know the owner was being very Cooperative thankfully and I'm glad Opie went to him because things went pretty peacefully
Failure to show up to work: loss of employment at worst Failure to show up to the military: dishonorable discharge plus possible legal trouble. Hmmmm such a hard choise
The worst part of that army story is he's out there defending his country so big jerks like that manager can live his life. What an ungrateful job the US Soldiers have.
Ok so, can we just appreciate how fast Rslash went from casual reddit reader to knowledgeable business teacher. You can even here the change in his tone as he goes from his average voice to his confident business voice.
As a side note to that rule, I've noticed that businesses who treat their employees better tend to also have better customer satisfaction. There is some logic to it; getting paid minimum wage to get crapped on all day doesn't really incentivize people to adapt and accommodate...heck, sometimes power tripping bosses berate them for doing it.
As some one who works retail... I've been asked more times than I can count by people asking how to get a gallon of a product only sold in quarts at the store because shelf space... There are too many people out there who don't know 4 quarts to a gallon.
it *is* a pretty stupid system but quarts to gallons is like the easiest one just to *assume* solely because the name is *QUART* like QUARTER, IE, A FOURTH cmon people do you have no logic skills at all lol
@@Starfloofle Based on stories my nephew tells me, some schools may actively discourage logic and thinking. Just sit down, shut up, and learn the stuff that's on the test.
@random stuff considering that me saying "sit down, stop talking, and learn this stuff" includes things like BOTH the US Standard and Metric systems, how to convert within each one, how to convert between them, how to logically figure out what the question is asking, how to apply thought to 3-D figures with forces acting on them, etc... I'd say that is inaccurate. The problem is that the students barely listen (there are some that do) and don't try to remember what they learned last year. I teach science and have had some students for different subjects in 9th and followed up in 11th grade. They claimed they had never learned something that I had taught them 2 years earlier.
Yep the best boss I ever had told me, If a customer wants to buy “all of the shop” ...say YES were would you like it delivered, how would you like to pay..... not “what” or “why” Or....”no we don’t do that”
I was crossing the Canadian-American border coming back into the US. We were moving and had our children with us, including our adopted children. The US Border guard played a power trip, tried to deny us entry back to the US. When his supervisor came and looked at the Military move orders, he let us through and I could see him dressing down the first guy.

Having made and packed my own ice cream or would be a lot easier and cheaper to just teach your employees the quart to gallon conversion. Taking it out of the quart containers and into a gallon container would just be a pain.
Ice cream shops that repackage their own house brands into smaller retail packaging often scoop it from very large tubs (think 3-5 gallon range) into their own pint, quart, etc containers. Some places will have it delivered that way. But the way this story came across, that place portions their own ice cream onsite.
@@EdBurke37 I think the largest tub of ice cream I've ever seen available for commercial retail sale was a 5-quart pail. But that was at a supermarket. And just like how what used to be 3-liter bottles of soda are now only 2.5-liter bottles, the containers have since been downsized to keep their costs and profit margins relatively the same without having to drastically increase the cost of the product. I only mention it because of the cost-benefit aspect of some of the commentary on this story. You have to offer something that people want to buy in a quantity that is in demand. But you have to do it in a way that doesn't drive you into bankruptcy. It seems like that place just never even gave much consideration to the consumer demand aspect of their business.

i was a Navy recruit who worked at walmart before leaving for boot, my PO knew how Walmart could be about time off so he told me if they denied me LOA to fullfill orders he would talk to them. i think he did that to prevent a clash of titans from happening.
Where I work, a *college* came up against a similar issue when they attempted to demote a returning reservist who had been called up to active duty (active war zone no less!). Said reservist made one call, & the college not only got a terse letter from the JAG (military lawyer to civilians), but got a visit from a Colonel who explained to our (idiot/petty/incompetent) HR Director that the reservist not only had to maintain his rank, but was due the *maximum possible pay increases* for the time he was in the war zone. He explained that if the college failed to do that, not only would *ALL* federal funding be withdrawn (remember, college-both direct funding and gov’t student loans & grants) & the college’s accreditation would be removed as well, effectively closing the school. Needless to say he got everything owed to him. That reservist let *everyone* know what had happened. Later, HR hung a sign in their office how they ‘support our returning veterans and reservists’-any time I had to goto HR I never failed to laugh at that sign (not in a good way).*Note- When the college got a new President, that HR Director was ‘retired’(read quietly fired)
FYI: It is in fact illegal to deny ANY military reservist, regardless of service branch, time off for mandatory service drills, not just battalion level officers.
12:31 I'm a business major and I often end up asking "Do companies hate making money" because they have rules and regulations and the like that are just counterintuitive to making money.
Some of those rules are due to laws. Some are a tradition that started due to a manager's or owner's personal preference and linger on even though the original reason is long forgotten. In larger organizations, bureaucracy can be the cause of these foolish rules: people get so caught up in processes and procedures that they forget what the company actually does. One thing that seems fairly universal is the lowest level workers, those who are the ones actually doing the thing that makes the money for the company, tend to be the ones who get paid the least and put up with the most bs, both from superiors and customers. To be honest, a lot of companies pay the actual workers so poorly that they have no reason to care. I see that attitude in a lot of customer service type jobs; people mindlessly enforcing stupid rules and being totally inflexible. Years ago, before I stopped shopping at Walmart, I heard a manager screaming at one of their employees for committing the horrible sin of helping a customer find a product that wasn't in the section the employee was working in.

About the icecream thing. Only place I refused to sell more was when I worked in a luxury sandwich store/restaurant. We prep these amazing looking open sandwiches in the morning, fill the window with them and people can order them to go or eat here. It very common for companies to order a big box to serve at meeting and we take these orders on the phone. We don't mind people ordering a couple like 10 pieces to go either. But when someone comes in and wants 30-40 pieces to go, we refuse. It gets very busy at lunch time and if we sell the whole window we would be short on supply. Instead of prepping for next day and other in store orders (fries, salads, and other dishes we need to make on the spot). We need to pull everything out and restock the whole window, while also getting stacking orders of sandwiches costumers want right now that are sold out. Yes we would had sold a big order but we would also be extremely stressed, fall behind and needing to deal with annoyed consumers that are waiting.
12:35 that last bit of you saying "I like money" made me laugh so hard, it reminded me of Danny Devito saying how much he loves money "there are three things in this world with that kind of unconditional excellence, dogs, donuts, and money. Only money is better, you know why? Because it don't make you fat, and it don't poop all over living room floor, there's only one thing I like better. Other people's money"
Does anyone else like his videos before they even listen? I think I've only heard one before that I didn't care for and just to be supportive I still liked it. You do good work my guy and it is more than appreciated!
To be fair to the ruleslawyer, mobile homes & trailers often don't have the best insulation. I can imagine the noise from the basketball games could become a nuisance, especially if the person worked nights/graveyard shifts and was trying to sleep. That said, if it was a problem with the noise or with damage from the ball going into the trailer park when someone missed a shot, rather than just being a busybody, I think it would have been better to resolve it by hashing the situation out with the Dad rather than complaining to the police. Considering the time/expense he went to for continuing the basketball games, I'd think he would have been able to work something out if the underlying issue were known.
Just because it may look nicer doesn't mean that it has a working engine. Considering the Dad's use for it, he may well have bought a car that doesn't run and converted it.
I feel like the car would be better if it still had the trunk, it just had a hole that fit the hoop perfectly so it doesn't get filled with rain Very good idea, if someone wants a bit more of a challenge just get in the car and go back and forward kinda slow

I would have taken the paper the boss wrote to the military, sit back and watch the world burn.
@@mariareneemongearaujo6911 I got the impression from the story that the guy liked the business and the owner and it was just the manager who was the problem. He didn't want to screw over the company due to one manager who turned toxic, so instead gave the owner a chance to handle it internally. What does surprise me is if he had the contact info for the owner and was on good enough terms with him to have his opinion on the manager solicited, why didn't he just call the owner to complain about the toxic behavior?
@@mariareneemongearaujo6911 saaaame!!

I went to a food truck that sold poutine - basically french fries with gravy and cheese curds. The menu listed a few options like bacon topped poutine. I asked for a plain poutine and was told it wasn't on the menu, that I had to order straight from the menu. So I asked for a bacon poutine, hold the bacon. The guy stared at me for several seconds then laughed sheepishly and made my order.
How the hell is not ordering normal poutine even possible
jesus thats stupid, why the hell would you not have a REGULAR version of your product, thats just missing out big time
I wonder if the cash register was one of the sort that has keys labeled with the menu items only...ask for something not on the menu, and even if they have the materials to make it, they're not sure which key to push to ring it up XD
The weirdest food truck incident I had was a food truck that accepted only credit/debit, but due to merchant fees, had a $10 minimum (even though most items on the menu cost less than $10). To get around the $10 minimum rule, those of us waiting in line just combined our orders.

It's ridiculous that some people think they can get away with that. They think they can get away with ticking off the military or telling their employee they can't go to jury duty because they have to work, but it always bites them in the rear unless their employee doesn't know their rights to get them into trouble. It can all be avoided too if these bosses were decent human beings not on a power trip.
@@akl2k7 Even if someone who has jury duty doesn't know their rights the government certainly does. Because you can't just send an email saying 'I can't come'. As soon as such an email is received steps get taken. The person in question is contacted to ask why and believe me, they WILL figure out the reason someone can't attend jury duty. After that, as far as I know, the business will be contacted one way or another and will be told, in no uncertain terms, that their employee will, in fact, be coming to serve on the jury or a hefty fine will be sent their way. I think it's even possible for someone to be sent to jail if they prohibit an employee from attending jury duty. So... even if someone's unaware of their rights, the government will make damned sure their rights are upheld.

The ice cream story - years ago my father and seven colleagues entered a pub where, unknown to them, the owners thought it uncouth to sell beer in pints! So when they ordered eight pints they were refused and told they only serve it in half pints. That'll be sixteen half pints and sixteeen dirty glasses then!
There are some bars that limit their beer serving size for liability reasons. Some of the increased focus on drunk driving has splashed over onto the bars serving the drunk drivers, resulting in rules against serving alcohol to those who are visibly drunk, and other such rules.

A metric shit-ton is 264.2 gallons. The average price of ice cream in the US is $9.50 per gallon. A metric shit-ton of ice cream is, on average $2509.90.
That's 1321 pounds (599.20 kg) of ice cream. This does not qualify for bulk transport rates, which means we need to discuss end-user frozen goods transport costs, which after accounting packaging, comes to about $9 per pound if shipping in the US.
This means it will cost $11889 to transport your metric shit-ton of ice cream. This means the cost of goods is $14,398.90. Add in about 20% for a very generous labor cost for crating, handling, and logistics to get the ice cream to you and the retail cost comes to $17278.68.

I was actually a bit disappointed when the guy in the first story didn't go to the military instead lol
rSlash, retired military here. If OP did not show up for work and was fired due to having to attend drill, the business would be in what we call “the hurt locker”. With it being a small business, they would not really get in much trouble, but OP could contact the labor board and file a complaint. The business would have no leg to stand on and would have to pay out damages (comp and puni). With it being unpaid time, it would not be much. The biggest hit would be the mark against them at the labor board.
I would also foresee that middle manager out on his ass so fast his shadow would be 5 seconds behind him. Hell, maybe the business would sell his office stuff to make up for the loss (j/k).
Man all I got to say about that first story is wow that manager got so lucky that he wasn't dealing with the military but instead he just got told by the owner what he's supposed to do and what he can't do but I would have just love to see his face the moment military Soldier that's higher in rank show up to this dude's office and literally tell him that if he does not let Opie go to his drills that they're going to bring them into court if it only involve the manager and hopefully not the owner because I know the owner was being very Cooperative thankfully and I'm glad Opie went to him because things went pretty peacefully

11:07 Another good lesson is to let the customer know what you can do instead of what you can't. And if it's possible, adapt and accomodate.
As a side note to that rule, I've noticed that businesses who treat their employees better tend to also have better customer satisfaction. There is some logic to it; getting paid minimum wage to get crapped on all day doesn't really incentivize people to adapt and accommodate...heck, sometimes power tripping bosses berate them for doing it.

Having made and packed my own ice cream or would be a lot easier and cheaper to just teach your employees the quart to gallon conversion. Taking it out of the quart containers and into a gallon container would just be a pain.
Ice cream shops that repackage their own house brands into smaller retail packaging often scoop it from very large tubs (think 3-5 gallon range) into their own pint, quart, etc containers. Some places will have it delivered that way. But the way this story came across, that place portions their own ice cream onsite.
@@didyasaysomethin2me True. I've only made up to a gallon at a time myself.
@@EdBurke37 I think the largest tub of ice cream I've ever seen available for commercial retail sale was a 5-quart pail. But that was at a supermarket. And just like how what used to be 3-liter bottles of soda are now only 2.5-liter bottles, the containers have since been downsized to keep their costs and profit margins relatively the same without having to drastically increase the cost of the product. I only mention it because of the cost-benefit aspect of some of the commentary on this story. You have to offer something that people want to buy in a quantity that is in demand. But you have to do it in a way that doesn't drive you into bankruptcy. It seems like that place just never even gave much consideration to the consumer demand aspect of their business.

A few years ago a Judge in Washington state had to have this explained to her when the Army deployed a soldier to the sandbox that also had a date for a court appearance. "I didn't give him permission to go to Iraq!"
Still shocks me that we’re at the top of the food chain yet things like these happen
That’s not how the word fathom works. “Still can’t fathom that we’re at the top of the food chain yaddah yaddah” would work better.
My dad had an incident that involved the federal government over his request for Jewish holidays off. Long story short my dad's boss emailed my dad explaining his hatred of Jews and that no he couldn't have the days off.
My Dad's lawsuit for discrimination on religious grounds went really well his lawyer was giddy the entire time.
last time i was this early there were no masks
That one is one of the worst I've seen
Now people can't know if you're early or late because they can't know if they saw you being early or late. Let me explain, masks do a lot of good things :
1 - They protect us from lots of infectious diseases and viruses
2 - If you don't like the way you look, you can hide your face (projecting here)
3 - You don't have to smell people's breaths
4 - People often don't recognize you so masks can help avoiding annoying people
@@void1754 If mask really worked why was china hit so hard still? They are mask Capital.
@@void1754 and masks are good in winter, when the frost is biting.
@@juneflowers1232 maybe because idiots like you exist who can't wear a mask properly. AND they are in an incredibly dense area.
But if they didn't work, why did China open up faster than the USA? Why did korea, Japan, and other Asian countries where wearing masks is common, get through SO MUCH BETTER.
Look, you're entitled to your opinion until that opinion harms others.
rSlash sounded pouty when he said "Cuz I like money...."😂 It really caught me off guard. Thanks for the video!
Malicious compliance is SATISFYING😌❤️
i was a Navy recruit who worked at walmart before leaving for boot, my PO knew how Walmart could be about time off so he told me if they denied me LOA to fullfill orders he would talk to them. i think he did that to prevent a clash of titans from happening.
Day 12 of telling him that he makes everyone’s day brighter

Aw, wheres Jeff Loo?
Agreed :)
I like this
12:22 no they just love money too much to spend it on “useless items”
Dang, a military story.
To all U.S. service men and women reading this, thank you for your service.
Where I work, a *college* came up against a similar issue when they attempted to demote a returning reservist who had been called up to active duty (active war zone no less!). Said reservist made one call, & the college not only got a terse letter from the JAG (military lawyer to civilians), but got a visit from a Colonel who explained to our (idiot/petty/incompetent) HR Director that the reservist not only had to maintain his rank, but was due the *maximum possible pay increases* for the time he was in the war zone. He explained that if the college failed to do that, not only would *ALL* federal funding be withdrawn (remember, college-both direct funding and gov’t student loans & grants) & the college’s accreditation would be removed as well, effectively closing the school. Needless to say he got everything owed to him. That reservist let *everyone* know what had happened. Later, HR hung a sign in their office how they ‘support our returning veterans and reservists’-any time I had to goto HR I never failed to laugh at that sign (not in a good way).*Note- When the college got a new President, that HR Director was ‘retired’(read quietly fired)
FYI: It is in fact illegal to deny ANY military reservist, regardless of service branch, time off for mandatory service drills, not just battalion level officers.

I'm a business major and I often end up asking "Do companies hate making money" because they have rules and regulations and the like that are just counterintuitive to making money.
Some of those rules are due to laws. Some are a tradition that started due to a manager's or owner's personal preference and linger on even though the original reason is long forgotten. In larger organizations, bureaucracy can be the cause of these foolish rules: people get so caught up in processes and procedures that they forget what the company actually does.
One thing that seems fairly universal is the lowest level workers, those who are the ones actually doing the thing that makes the money for the company, tend to be the ones who get paid the least and put up with the most bs, both from superiors and customers. To be honest, a lot of companies pay the actual workers so poorly that they have no reason to care. I see that attitude in a lot of customer service type jobs; people mindlessly enforcing stupid rules and being totally inflexible. Years ago, before I stopped shopping at Walmart, I heard a manager screaming at one of their employees for committing the horrible sin of helping a customer find a product that wasn't in the section the employee was working in.

DO YOU REALIZE YOU'RE SPEAKING TO A BUSINESS MAJOR!? HI. HELLO. THANK YOU FOR WASTING MY TIME.
"I like money...Why ?? " i cried !!!!!
The Guy with the Basketball Hoop in the trunk is MY HERO. Not all hero's wear capes!
Just got notified as I was watching some of your old content because I had nothing else to do since I've already binge-watched all of your content. Damn you're entertaining, bro !
7:30 the only acceptable reasons for a member of military traveling on orders to be denied boarding are
1) security threat that either grounds the plane completely or was caused by the member of military
2) flight is completely cancelled(I’ve worked a flight like this, and luckily the commanding officer was informed by our dispatch that weather conditions were unsafe)
3) member of military is horribly ill or injured to the point medics are required
My Stupid Boss VS The United States Military
-I expected a little more of a fight but still some good story
I was hoping it ended with the Investigative Service of the approptiate branch walking in and literally ending the Boss' shit.
Honestly that basketball dad belongs on a different subreddit. I can imagine driving down to the local station once in a blue moon to fill up the tank and the hoop just swinging in the breeze. That’s the coolest thing I ever seen when it came to hoops
I had to stop what I was doing to check out the picture of the car because it sounded ridiculous. My boss asked me what was I doing and I showed him the picture and told him the story in a TLDR and up just laughed.
It’s because the dude is an officer. Most enlisted soldiers would have just gone to their first line who would go to JAG or to JAG themselves.
About the icecream thing.
Only place I refused to sell more was when I worked in a luxury sandwich store/restaurant.
We prep these amazing looking open sandwiches in the morning, fill the window with them and people can order them to go or eat here.
It very common for companies to order a big box to serve at meeting and we take these orders on the phone.
We don't mind people ordering a couple like 10 pieces to go either.
But when someone comes in and wants 30-40 pieces to go, we refuse.
It gets very busy at lunch time and if we sell the whole window we would be short on supply.
Instead of prepping for next day and other in store orders (fries, salads, and other dishes we need to make on the spot). We need to pull everything out and restock the whole window, while also getting stacking orders of sandwiches costumers want right now that are sold out.
Yes we would had sold a big order but we would also be extremely stressed, fall behind and needing to deal with annoyed consumers that are waiting.
"Do you not like money?!" I lost it
12:35 that last bit of you saying "I like money" made me laugh so hard, it reminded me of Danny Devito saying how much he loves money "there are three things in this world with that kind of unconditional excellence, dogs, donuts, and money. Only money is better, you know why? Because it don't make you fat, and it don't poop all over living room floor, there's only one thing I like better. Other people's money"
Does anyone else like his videos before they even listen? I think I've only heard one before that I didn't care for and just to be supportive I still liked it. You do good work my guy and it is more than appreciated!
The basketball story... some people are far too willing to busybody and ruleslawyer. Good on that dad for counter ruleslawyering.
To be fair to the ruleslawyer, mobile homes & trailers often don't have the best insulation. I can imagine the noise from the basketball games could become a nuisance, especially if the person worked nights/graveyard shifts and was trying to sleep. That said, if it was a problem with the noise or with damage from the ball going into the trailer park when someone missed a shot, rather than just being a busybody, I think it would have been better to resolve it by hashing the situation out with the Dad rather than complaining to the police. Considering the time/expense he went to for continuing the basketball games, I'd think he would have been able to work something out if the underlying issue were known.
No, the solution to the ice cream story is to hire a smarter employee.
The ”old sucky 4 door car” pictured with a basketball post in the boot is actually nicer than my car! 😟
Just because it may look nicer doesn't mean that it has a working engine. Considering the Dad's use for it, he may well have bought a car that doesn't run and converted it.
I feel like the car would be better if it still had the trunk, it just had a hole that fit the hoop perfectly so it doesn't get filled with rain
Very good idea, if someone wants a bit more of a challenge just get in the car and go back and forward kinda slow
