Waited a month for a 1.5oz bottle of sanitizer and a mask. Why a month? They had to print their logo on the bottles.
my work gave everyone one pocket size bottle sanitizer, after that no more apparently we are not éssential enough. we are street sweepers and we have to drive in a van to our work area.
@@velvety2006 what companie?
Omfg
We had a saying at our work. “Beatings will continue until morale improves.”
What does that even mean
@@chrisxzzy it means until you peasants start appreciating all that management does for you management will continue screwing you over. Also management will continue screwing you over.
@@oldhillbillybuckkowalski I don't know about you but that seems perfectly reasonable
@@chrisxzzy lol
@@chrisxzzy it means start to love the beatings because nothing you do or say will stop it so you may aswell enjoy it or leave.
I would like to thank my company for recognizing the real extras its employees want - cash money and time off. This is on top of the usual - medical, dental, vision care, 401(k), etc. They also finally relented and let us all wear jeans and whatever shoes, as long as they are neat, clean, and in good repair. The whole COVID-19 thing has shown that we can almost all work at home with no issues and meetings (via Skype, Zoom, whatever) are shorter now. Bonus - by not having a commute I gain an hour of free time each workday (to be fair I had an easy commute, just surface streets and a lot of stoplights).
Last job i was at we were the leading company in the world for producing aftermarket Air Conditioning systems for classic cars,muscle cars, including vintage hot rods. We also were contracted to design,develop and produce systems for several high dollar cars (exotics) in production by American and European manufacturers. Production management team decides our production is too low (despite every year setting new records for the 6 years i was there) and instituted a ban on talking to coworkers. At the same time im told to train coworkers on the equipment i run, and numerous procedures. I also have to work with research and development, as well as engineering, which are in seperate parts of the building. Supervisors are yelling at employees for talking without any clue what they are discussing,and when i try to go to R&D or engineering to confirm a prototype or get instructions im yelled at for being out of my work station. Apparently we are supposed to channel into our latent telekinetic abilities and will be punished for failing to do so.
If you're talking about vintage air I totally agree with what you're saying I experienced the same things there working in the QA department

We used to round our hours, sometimes up and sometimes down. if I showed up 15 minutes early and left 5 minutes late, the manager would give me an extra 15 minutes despite working an extra 20. I was fine with this because it went the other way too, if I left on time but showed up 10 minutes earlier, they would round up to 15 extra minutes. Fine and dandy. Well in an effort to pay everyone more accurately, we got a time clock. Between the 10 employees, they were suddenly paying a lot more overtime than they thought because some of us put in the extra time and effort. When we were told that overtime hours were not allowed without manager approval, we agreed to it. Manager likes to skip out early though, so at the end of the day, if there was a truck at the dock and the manager isn't there to ask if we can stay late, we'd shut the doors, tell the driver we were done for the day, and went home. HIS boss chewed our manager out for not being there for us to ask if we could stay overtime, so now we force him to work the same hours as us. Should've just let us round our hours instead of tracking us by the minute, sorry that you can't leave early anymore, boss.
Worked a gov. contract that was supposed to give incentive bonus based on how well each individual performed their own work (we were tracked down to the letter, essentially, so it was all YOUR work) and we got to see an older model of the bonus percentages/goals, which seemed reasonable and I was very neatly meeting the top tier easily. Was looking forward to basically an extra day or two's worth of pay each week just for being really good at what I did. With minimal errors, as required, as well.
Then the 'revised' model was sent out. I did the math and it was literally impossible to get to even the mid-tier of the bonus section, and only three people (out of maybe 200 total) were known to be good enough to make it to the 'possible high' area, myself included. When the union pushed back for it being unfair labor practice or some such, they just totally cancelled the incentive bonus. Full stop.
So instead of busting out 2-3x as much work as some of the people in my section, I reeled myself back to painfully slow and still exceeding daily minimums by like 25-30%. They could have had me busting their work out in weeks instead of months. But they removed my desire to do more than the people getting paid the same as me who weren't even meeting daily minimums.
So yeah, really fucked up.
I worked for a really incompetent company, so the list is very long. The biggest one was when they basically forbade certain employees from talking at all, even if it was necessary for work or in the break room. They claimed it applied the same to everyone but anyone with a brain could see that wasn’t true
So I worked for orange box hell hole for five years.
Cashier appreciation week one year they gave us all mardi gras beads and made them mandatory to wear. Sexual harassment from customers was an all-time hight that week.
One year they set aside the cashier appreciation money to do a fun thing at a "fun center." By the time we got there, it was shutting down. I ended up driving around trying to find something to eat because of low blood sugar. Everything was closed because this was an "upscale" neighborhood.
Meetings would be held on Sunday morning. So closing on Saturday I would have to come in six hours after I got off my shift. I "slept in" a lot.
"Christmas" was supposed to be fun. So one year the dinner prizes were Scentsy things that they bought from one of the managers who was in the MLM. Guess who is super f@*king allergic to Scentsy?
Another dinner was at a country club. The only thing we got to take home was a couple candy bars glued together to look like a sled. I couldn't eat anything at the buffet dinner. I got to sit there for a few hours watching other people eat.
I would just love to go on the stage and casually swap some of their food with my doughnut, and watch their faces.
Back when I worked for Jimmy John's, we got pushed to sell these box lunches like they were going outta style. They had these quotas from corporate that they had to meet. What happened if they got met? The managers got bonuses and the cashier who sold the most box lunches got a 10 cent raise. Yep. All that pressure over a extra dime an hour.
Bonus: the place I worked at used to have this really tall guy who was really good at selling box lunches, so our quotas got bigger and bigger. Then he quit and went to work at a different restaurant. And corporate didn't drop their quotas. Last I heard they were having issues making the quotas.
After seeing this im glad to be medically unemployed and not putting up with this crap anymore.
Set the highest revenue for the company in it's history at about $125 million, but the goal was $125 million. No bonuses for non-managers. We all LOVED that. :|
24:29 it was drugs. What he actually bought was drugs. The painting was a tax write off.
Yep. All high priced art is basically money laundering/ drug trafficking.

"We're putting on a lunch for all the kitchen staff as a thanks for all their hard work"
The kitchen staff have to cook the lunch.
This happens at least twice a year. All the chefs skip the meal.
Something similar happened to me however i ate it because i dont waste food, but theres a reason they are not cooks and i cant fathom how they havnt managed to starve from there bad food.
This, my friends, is why you unionize
Even as a future administrator. I agree. Unions (as long as they aren't abusive or corrupt) should be made standard and encourage.
And that is how people end up unemployed in a couple years. People can and should negotiate and stand up for themselves individually without the need for some old fart that hasn't worked a day in his life standing there holding your hand
Teacher unions are the indirect cause of numerous suicides. Unionizing is okay, but should be kept in check. Employees exhibiting abusive and/or narcissistic behavior should not be protected. And unions should screen those in charge of union organization for narcissistic traits. Frankly, though, no one screens for narcissism. Long overdue change, imo.
Many of my stories happened in unionized places. Really makes me want to pay a chunk of my paycheck to thugs who use my income to fatten their bank accounts and give money to politicians who in reality want me enslaved, locked up, or dead.
My previous job, I was working with the team that receives the merchandise shipments, unboxes it, sorts it, and gets it on the floor. We had the most demanding and important job of nearly any other person in the store (personally, I think only the janitorial staff deserved more recommendation than us in terms of how much they did versus how the managers treated us).
We were told there was going to be a fully catered employee potluck to thank us all for working on Black Friday. Come Black Friday we're unpacking and stocking three times the amount of merchandise in the same amount of time while customers are slamming the store. And then when I return to the back after putting out a rack of clothes, I realize no one's there but the supervisor, who is in tears. She tells me to go home.
Turns out they decided that the only people who deserved to be thanked for the hard work on Black Friday were the cashiers and the store managers. All of us were ordered to go home two hours early because catering was coming in an hour and they didn't want us to have any of it.
They could not for the life of them figure out why that place was a revolving door while they were not only doing stuff like that but ordering loss protection to search the belongings of employees as they were leaving because they expected us all to be thieves, ordered me to do things I wasn't hired to do such as clean up used sanitary items left in the dressing room because "I was a woman" so therefore I should be okay with that, punished us for following orders exactly because "it wasn't what we actually wanted you to do", etc.
I worked at a factory for a year that didnt have ac (big surprise, i know), during the summer the company wanted to "show their appreciation" for us working in the heat so they hired a couple food trucks. Instead of getting an ice cream truck or something, they decided hot food would be better for 110 degree weather, and it wasnt even free either, we still had to buy the food. They also decided we should work in the bay on the complete opposite side of the factory from where the trucks were anyways, so the only ones to get the food were the supervisor and the forklift drivers cause they didnt have to walk the ten minutes to get there. So I just went to dairy queen for ice cream since it wasnt even a two minute drive from work and ate in my nicely air conditioned car :)
There's something incongruously funny about hearing all these awful stories while listening to the nice cheery music in the background.
I got one. Company switches to Oracle, screwing EVERYONE for 6 months with tracking project budgets, slowing EVERYONE down, and nothing accomplished in very fast pace.
A number of these seem to stem from corporate suits not knowing that a lot of people can't afford extravagant things.
When I was hired at my job we had employee of the quarter well no one noticed that the same dept always got it. When I was being pushed for it by everyone employee of the quarter misterisly disapered and the big boss there said I have to talk to the owner to bring it back. So did I brake it or did the fact the new guy is out showing the guys who been there for years
TBH, I thought the movie theater projectionist one wasn't that bad. Like, your job basically became obsolete, that sucks but it happens. At least the managers offered to keep them all on and didn't just fire them all outright (though I agree cutting the hourly wage was bullshit). Frankly, any reasonable person would have started looking for a new job once all the film projectors were replaced. I may be biased though because when I worked at a movie theater, we didn't even have dedicated projectionists, the managers just always did it, so it seems perfectly normal to me to do it that way.
The owner of the place I work tried to implement casual days. We work in a auto repair shop. He talked to us and I said “I’m not get oil and grease on my comfy clothes” and he never did it again
Worked at a golf course it was mandatory we separate plastic/cans from cart trash to recycle. Employees were not allowed to take home bags at the end of shift which is what every course I’ve worked at is allowed to do cause you know minimum wage and not tips (public course). Management said the money around 4,000 a year would be used for an employee party. That party was apparently for upper management the maintenance crew of another course we owned their families and the restaurant staff to go paint balling and have a catered lunch. The cart staff who collected the cans/bottles got nothing but yelled at because we were now taking longer to wash carts due to new recycling program. The next year we had less than $200 worth of recycling and we literally had the only employee meeting I have ever been to about why it was so low.
When I was overseas I had my Commanding Officer have mandatory fun day for families at the barracks. All those that lived in the barracks had to be there, 98% of us had no family. The ones that had families were in off base housing or out of the barracks. They werent mandated to go to the event since it they dont live at the barracks and is rude to their families.
We had a monthly meeting that was mandatory and was during lunch. They counted it as your lunch and if they didn't have food for you, you couldn't go get anything or leave early
My team had no management for two whole years, we were really good at our jobs and just knuckled down and got on with it.
The higher ups then realised we had no manager and decided to give us one, within the year half the team had quit because the manager was meddling too much.
One of the worst things she did was performance reviews. Just doing our jobs wasn't enough, we had to always be improving, so even if we were doing our jobs perfectly if we weren't doing extra random pointless shit she'd give us shit and make us feel like crap.
Morale plummeted, we had this one guy who was an incredibly good worker and had no intention of going elsewhere on the verge of quitting but thankfully she was removed as our manager at that point and our new manager was off-site and only came in every few months to make sure the place wasn't on fire.
A bag company I once worked for gave us hershey zero bars for 6 month accident free, management got bonuses. A new donut shop brought boxes of donuts for the break rooms as advertisement, never made it to the break rooms. One department worked overtime for 3 days, including sat and sun to fill a badly needed last minute order for a customer. The order was finished and ship a little AHEAD of time, so the customer asked how many in that department and sent them expensive Leatherman tools. No one on the floor got one. They would give out rewards for different things and if your dept didnt know about it and snoop in the managers office, you didnt get one.
"WHAT?! YOU CAN'T GIVE CUSTOMERS 5.1 OUNCES OF ICECREAM!!! Throw it away and make a new one with exactly 5 and effectively wast 10.1 ounces for the price of 5."
Yeah, why waste 6 ounces instead of 1?
Pro Tip. There is only one perk that all employees want: more money. Any other so-called perk will only make them wonder why they are getting that instead of more money.
During my 3 year stint at a well known chicken sandwich chain, the GM held Christmas parties for the entire staff. It was catered (in house) and kinda fun. But when it came time for our 'bonus', we were each given a $50 Visa dollar gift card. But the money didn't come from the store or the reserves. It came from our own paychecks. So we were given a $50 advance on our own paycheck, which was later docked to supplement the gift card. I found out later the GM receives a fat bonus based on how much money the store saved each year. All the money from the gift cards (roughly $2500-$3500) and any money saved from replenishing stock was given to him at the end of the year. So he actually got all of our bonuses and then some. Let's just say it left a bad taste in my mouth. Don't call it a gift or a bonus if it's not. I still did my job and went above and beyond my position, but that still erks me to this day. And that was almost 10 years ago
Yeah that bonus one ... with the firing, that can't be legal.
Oh the ol company picnic trick 😂 I worked at two separate hospital systems in the area, in billing. Both had these picnics. We were bombarded with emails to participate at both hospitals but when the day came people who actually went (usually on their lunch break) where chewed out by management. Same with the "employee" sales they had in the lobby... We were encouraged to go by email but if you were caught going by management you were screamed at like children. Also the CFO of the last hospital straight face told us that we couldn't make the same as hospital staff nearby because we were in a "destination area" as if that made up for lower than average pay. I don't think more than 5 people in the office actually lived there. No sense. Peter principle...
My company does a lot of these things. It's why I'm looking for a new one
Jeez, these executive/CEO sound like Hollywood people, they lived in a bubble or with their heads in their butt so deep they can't see the sun
Worked at retail store, that had a hot line to call if you were being sexually harassed, or abused. You had to call a number, and then tell your name, and employee number. The next week lawyer show up, and you were fired. It's hard to prove, but that's what happened. The lawyers asked what happened, and what proof do you have. Most people don't make videos of themselves all day, and no one would back you up. So the lawyers said, "With no proof, you were lying, and you were fired on the spot." It made everyone afraid to report anything.
Snuffing out the rats? I see...
I'm in the B2B insurance sales. I have had a pretty dry season and really have not had a paycheck in a while forcing me to go off the reservation and sell life insurance on the side. My manager and director has taken a list of leads of my I had been working on for a while and they have been going out and closing those accounts and giving me full credit.
It does make them look good when it comes to the #'s.
We've got a wellness reimbursement program at my job, where we can get reimbursed for things like gym memberships. It's actually really nice, but they're switching the system up to "streamline" it. In the current system, we have a phone app that let's us just upload a screenshot or photo of our receipt and fill out a couple forms, and then the money comes on our next paycheck. But in the new system, we have to submit claims through a company website, meaning we need to do it on our work laptop, which means that instead of swiping my fingerprint to log into an app on my phone wherever I am, I'm going to have to wait until I'm at my laptop, go through like 3 different log in screens (laptop, VPN, website) and upload the photo to something like Google drive then download it on my work laptop. It's really dumb that it's supposed to be a better system for us but they're taking away the biggest convenience. The only slight benefit is apparently we'll get reimbursed more quickly, but I really don't care when it comes in as long as it does and I'd rather wait longer and use the app.
When I worked at Home Depot, if I needed to empty a trash bin, which was multiple times a day in the seasonal department. I had to call up a supervisor (or higher rank) to come unlock a gate to access the trash compactor. This usually involved waiting around the gate for 10- 15 minutes each time. Apparently this system was implemented because one person, in another country decided that jumping in one would be a good way to end it all. We would also have mandatory meeting where they would want each employee to come up with a way to increase efficiency, work environment or improve the store where then every single one would be shot down immediately.
My old company’s location was failing and hemorrhaging money. What did they do hire 13 new supervisors at $75,000, $25,000 more than other supervisors a piece. They turned around after getting rid of them. A lot of them were higher From different states around the USA. Paid rent, hotel fees.
I worked at this warehous for large retail store. The ware house was old, and had all these problems. They company kept talking how they were going to build a new warehouse, and everything would better then. One of the problems this warehouse had, was the roof drain was blocked, and ice was building up on the roof. At night, when we worked, we heard the roof making all these weird noises. The roof rumbled, and made poping sounds. This was scary, but the company promised us it was safe. It was around Christmass time, and we were working like mad, for the Christmass rush. The roof was banging, and rumbling, but we worked on. They had this young woman, as the night manager. She kept telling us, Next year we will move into the new warehouse, and we would all get a Christmass bonus. There was older ex cop who worked at the warehouse. He hears the banging, and poping coming from the roof, and says, "The roof is going ot colapse. A few other places had their roof colapse, and it killed people. He went to the night manager, and told her, we had to clear out, or people will die. She refused to do it. The ex cop went to the employees, and told them the roof was going to fall in, they should leave, or they will die. They were all married men, and woman. The night manager said, "Anyone who walks out, will be fired." The ex cop, called the state police, and they said, "This isn't really our problem." Then the roof, rumbled, and banged. This freaked out the state police. He made everyone leave the building. While everyone was leaving, the night manager stayed by the front entrance. The roof colapsed, and the rush of air, threw the night manager out in the parking lot. The ex cop, and the state police saved everyones life that night. We found out later, the company knew the roof was going to fall in. What they did was, bought life insurance on all the warehouse workers. Then counted us dying, so they could collect the life insurance. They planned to use the money from our deaths, to pay for the new warehouse. Later, they blamed us, for not making money, so they had to cut hours to pay move to the new warehouse. Like we should've felt bad for not dying. Later, they treated that night manager like a hero, for staying in the building, untill colapsed. She wasn't that brave. She stayed the whole time, in the part of the building were it was safe. They made us watch a film where the nightmanager was treated like a queeen for being loyal to the company.
At my job right now there are cups to put money in for charity. The managers names are on the cups. The managers cup that has the most money gets something done to them. With ice cream I think. Only one cup has money in it. The floor manager that micromanaged everyone. Wonder why?😼
Jokes on you, I don't work.
Yes u do u gve us oxygen
ok so my brother was telling me about this and I had no idea until he did, but he was saying our Dad got a letter in the mail with a check in it right before Christmas from his work. The check was for $2 and was his Christmas bonus. The letter was about how they had donated the rest of the money to the homeless. There had been talk from his work about how they were going to donate that money to the homeless and no one believed them. Well I guess they werent kidding.
This was just a few weeks ago. I work in a grocery store where I only go to the back to get more bags for the front. We have the bags on some pallets on a corner, away from everything else so we can get at them. I admit they’re a little clunky there but the idea was to be out of the main area so we could always get to them. Well new boss decided it wasn’t neat enough and those pallets got put with all the others in the loading bay, except they were there first and so are at the back. With other pallets in front of them. And on all sides. We can’t restock bags now cuz we can’t move pallets cuz we’re not allowed. It sucks.
13:12 Sounds like Mr Burns' annual employee picnic where Marge Simpson got drunk & every family brought jello
I worked in Kfc as a teen. I was getting into trouble all the time for not being fifteen minutes early, but I was always on time, never late. I often worked the late shift, finishing at midnight in a store a one hour work from my flat. I was a tiny girl, it was a rule everyone had to be driven home or the company would pay for a taxi. Several people sharing a taxi. In the UK but the town had gun and knife crime. I have no problem walking during the day, but not at night. One night the manager was being a bitch and wouldn't let me get a taxi and I had no money - my bf at the time wouldn't work and I was paying for everything. I walked half way home before a coworker spotted me and her mum drove me home. I never went back other than for my wages and she made out like I never told her I had no way of getting home.
That's rough buddy
Every month, we have a department meeting ostensibly to review where we are for the month vs. Our current goals. Lately though, my team's noticed that these meetings are turning into mandatory hour long congratulatory sessions for the loan officers. The only operations teams that get acknowledged are management, processors, and underwriters. The rest of us can take a long walk off a short pier.
All of this just exposes the fact that corporate goons don't understand that their entire company literally rests on the shoulders of the people they treat the worst.
My company thought it would be a morale booster the commission a massive 40 foot long banner to be mounted on the wall of the machine shop warehouse I work at that just says, “It CAN Be Done.
Not a massive waste of money but definitely a waste. When it went up, aside from me, literally no one there gave a shit. I was actually upset by it for a few minutes, found it to be increasingly patronizing. Got over that fast, went right to not giving a shit. Higher ups really have no fucking clue. Just take the (I’m guessing) $1000 or so for that banner and buy us a bunch of pizza lunches/fried chicken/bbq platters what ever.
one day my dept. store changed the PA system announcement code for extra cashier help from other depts. from "Dept. 20 to service" to "Rapid response to service" but turned out that is hospital code for a medical emergency and our store is between two hospitals (10 miles either way) so a lot of doctors and nurses shop here and 10 minutes after the first PA call the parking lot had three ambulances show up when three separate nurses called for backup. the code was changed back that day.
I've got one. Our store had a thing where if any big winning lottery tickets or scratch offs were bought there we'd have a party and there would be bonuses.
Our store sold a winning ticket. The party consisted of hot dogs for the employees not working, the working ones could come by after their shift, and the higher ups got bonuses.
There were a LOT of angry people that day and many quit and walked out. We were all mad because when we learned we had sold a big winning ticket, management had hyped it so much, everyone was getting a raise, there was going to be catered food, etc etc
Nope.
About two years ago, my mom's workplace merged with a larger company. A gift that the larger company gave its newly acquired employees was a $4.99 Amazon gift card.
My mom hand me the card and told me to do whatever I wanted with it. I thought it was a joke, but no... it wasn't. It only covered the taxes and a dollar worth of my amazon order.
Got many.
Charter school. The state legislature had Christmas bonuses for every teacher in the state. Charter school director was an arrogant scumbag. In order to collect the bonus check that the state wrote, we were required to go to the director's potluck Christmas party (therefore catering it) and sit through it.
After an economic crash, the local government enacted "austerity measures." Budgets were stripped back everywhere except elected officials' pay. The school district sent out a letter encouraging us to be happy despite all the cutbacks. They opened it with a Chinese blessing: "May you live in interesting times." I don't know for sure, but every employee of the district shared the information that the saying is a CURSE!
In order for school employees to be healthy in the current crisis, we are not allowed to use refrigerators or microwaves for our lunches. We are also not allowed to use adult-sized chairs in the teachers' lounge so we have to sit on benches for children in the cafeteria. Very healthy.
At my shop, you get payed 11 bucks an hour starting off. At a year that gets moved to 12. 2, 14 and so on. I’m usually on call for the rest of the day once my shift ends but I also get some pretty nice overtime pay if I get called in. It sucks that some people have to deal with crappy greedy bosses that don’t want to be decent human beings while my bosses are pretty awesome. Hope u guys that are dealin with those people find better places to work
The company does bi annual leadership meetings where they all the managers and executives meet in a city for a week and do leadership workshops to become better leaders. Every time they do this we as a company hit higher numbers and break records compared to when they are there. Then they bring all the managers back and the number go back to normal, you’d think they’d notice this trend and just get rid of the leadership teams altogether 🤷🏼♂️
Didn't know backscratchers existed outside of Family Guy
It apparently took my bosses my entire employment (almost a year) to inform me that we’re not allowed to have water bottles (that the company provided on our orientation and the only ones we could have used anyway) anywhere on the floor, not even in a closet where we’ve been previously keeping them. It wouldn’t be a problem if not for three things. One, this is at the height of the 2020 Pandemic, and the only downside of the infernal masks we were provided made us very thirsty. Two, while it’s mostly an indoor job, we’re also made to go outside and haul carts, a very water intense job. And finally Third, ITS THE MIDDLE OF A HEAT WAVE IN AN ALREADY HOT AND HUMID SUMMER. I wanted to go on a water strike and just pass out on the pavement so they’d get the message on what a bad idea it is.
Still beats staying inside and dealing with customers though.
Anyone else a manager watching to make sure they're not a shitty one
Minor example from the time I worked at a tax preparation company. First year I am there they announce a large bonus if we we can complete 95% of our quota before the tax deadline. This seemed like a hard but reasonable target (some tax returns required special handling and could not be done before the tax deadline no matter what we did). Everyone works really hard and we are on the way to meeting the goal when some tax rule changes and we find out that all the banks will be about a month late issuing a special tax document. This means that for most of a month there is very little work since so many of our clients are waiting for those statements to come it. In the last month we get swamped as everyone and their grandmother is sending their tax statements to us. There was no way we were going to meet the goal now. Management knew what happened but refused to alter the bonus requirement. Productivity dropped like a stone since most of the employees were seasonal and now had no incentive to work hard at a job that would be gone in two weeks anyway. They ended up with an less than 80% completion by tax deadline. Management turned out to be not fully incompetent and learned from this. When I returned next year, the bonus was structured much more reasonable and accounted for circumstances beyond the workers' control.
My company gave us extra 10% discount on purchases on our stores as a prize for working 3× harder during the Covid boom
I think I was the reason for this, they gave baggers cards with specific things they had to do and say when a costumer came to the register. They wanted me to thank people who brought reusable bags. When the reusable bags are shit, then they want me to ask paper or plastic or if they want things bagged a specific way. First off I didn't talk, that's not my job description I'm not supposed to be your friend. I'm there to make money I was not gonna smile that would have lost them business. I told them I was uncomfortable being upfront and asked to be transferred. They told me it'd be a couple week's, then a couple months later I was still bagging. So I gave them my two week notice, another reason for this. Was I one time rolled up my sleeves and was told to roll them down. They said I had to buy a short sleeve shirt, when the rolled up sleeves didn't affect my work ethic whatsoever. They wanted me to waste money on something I didn't need just so my forearms could breathe while I was standing for five hours. Was also told I couldn't chew nicotine gum and they wouldn't give me a smoke break. I will not lick boots and I will not be treated lesser because of my job title. Now I'm working on a business with a friend haven't made any money yet but we will eventually. I'm my own boss and the only person I'll ever work for is myself and my future wife (if she even exists).
If you still have a bad taste in your mouth from donuts from over a decade ago, you should try brushing.

Youre right :o
Stick your left hand out with a thumbs up. Flip it over to a thumbs down. The look at it from the side of the hand with your fingers.
3:37 They just didn't want to deal with a scurvy outbreak.
BAD HISTORY JOKE
I am aware the oranges were an asshole thing to do.
Our parent company got everybody a canned ham for Christmas. Nice gesture, right? They gave hams to all the Jewish employees, too - no alternative. Then we realized they were all dented hams from the 'markdown' cart. The next year we asked them to just donate to charity. They're now out of business.
At my work I work overnights and every time they get food for everyone day crew eats everything and we get scraps, or they put off some for us and day crew still eats shit labeled night crew

What the managers did was shitty, absolutely, but did my man seriously just say that withholding bonuses is equal to genocide?
I have a good one. We use to have a lot of lockers to store our celphones and bags, which we cant have inside the work areas; because of coron@ in an effort for have 1.5 meters (5feet aprox) between each worker, they sealed 3 for every 4 lockers, so now we are waiting in line waiting for someone to checkout to take an available one. so fucking dumb.
This is old, not a new video
3:11 Seems the managers were p******* and the workers were p******* off.

Crapulent!!! Hahahahahaha!
I find it hard to feel sorry for office workers having to show up a little early and stay a little late to boot up and shut down their computer lol
I work in the food industry and I have to deal with no-shows, people walking out mid shift, doing prep on the fly in the middle of a busy service because lazy fucks didn't do it.
I really feel bad for you office folk sitting in an air conditioned office dicking around on social media and online shopping while you wait for files to send or copy-pasting values into Excel

Those stupid team building exercises are stupid and are just a waste of money especially when they hire people big money to come in and force the employees to go play some stupid games where everyone is just praying for nonsense to be over and hopefully it a one time thing Only to find out it did absolutely nothing and the people you forced to attend and participate were not the problem it was the owner upper management arrogance and stupidity
There's a video in your ads
This video, I've seen it before

Team building is nice and all, but in that scenario, if chocolates equalled raises, promotions, etc, I'd have put my competition through the table. If you want people to work together, don't make them compete in a partisan competition. Morons.
