The yellow dress character learned well from Veronica. 👍🏻
@@anndownsouth5070 yes
If management can opt out, then the regular employees should be able to also. Sorry, I'm opting out.
The management team should be leading by example to their employees
@@selwynowen6213 Never seen a montesano work overtime. Feudalism still works . . . for the oligarchs . . . most of whom wouldn’t make good fertilizer.
they can, clearly they cant afford to fire anyone, so its not like you have to worry about punishment
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE HIGHER UPS IN THE BACK!!!
Never say "sorry" in these situations where you can't or won't participate. "No" is a complete sentence, and conveys no hint of guilty feelings.
When I went through a corporate acquisition in which 20,000 people were made redundant, including myself, our CEO got a $63 million bonus. I never want to hear another word about being a "team player" again. Hopefully, I won't have to, as I've worked for myself since then. There are some downsides to it, but at least I don't have to hear this kind of nonsense.
At my work, we had a seminar where they said we're FAMILY. lol . I already have a family who doesn't try to screw me over for a bigger bonus.
Once redundant, always redundant.
@@cyberpunk1234 Oh yeah, any mention of family is a huge red flag.
0:39 The reason they can't get anyone is because the CEO is taking ALL the money that should be going on hiring new employees and using it all on his greedy ass self. Smh.
A lot of the great entrepreneurs of the 20th century you hear about like Walt Disney invested the profits they made from their successes right back into building their business.
For large companies, it’s worse than just the CEO’s bonus. They can spend hundreds of millions on stock buybacks to attempt to inflate the value of the stock. When that money could definitely have paid for more people to do the work
If they don't have the budget to hire anyone new, How will they have the budget to pay the massive increase in overtime for all the employees??
They will save money on the benefits they don't have to pay to the new hires! All this so the upper management and stockholders can get more houses, boats, and sports cars!
@@mind_of_a_darkhorse Not necessarily. Part time people will receive no benefits, and many full time new hires have a 1 to 6 month time frame of being ineligible for same benefits, depending on employer. Besides for most companies the benefits cost is, or over time, has been shifted more towards the employee paying for said benefits. Only some of the major companies, think Forbes 50-100 pay benefits completely out of the company till. Just saying. Its shit like this that makes me happy I no longer work in the toxic corporate world any longer.
"Pay?"
Furthermore, they have the job listed as available for three months - why are they advertising for a job they can’t afford to pay for?
There’s something fishy going on here…
@@wilberwhateley7569 Obviously! I'd think the only reasonable course of action would be to get looking for a better job immediately.
VERONICA IS MY HERO, MF CEO COULD TAKE A CUT IN SALARY AND NOT EVEN FEEL IT WITH $4MILL, WTF!
Front line "ask". Then the answer is no.
@NighDarke ~ Yes, that was sneaky how she slipped that in there.
At least it wasn't ordered. I've had "mandatory" OT at several co's. I don't think it's illegal?
the little coffee cup in the corner is so cute!
Staff: "If there's no money in the budget to hire someone, how is there money to pay the overtime?"
Manager: "You won't get overtime, this is unpaid."
Staff: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"No really, why CAN'T you go pick up my kid while I'm working late? Apparently YOU'RE going to be clocked out and available."
Ah, yes. The "We are short- staffed right now. and "asking everyone to 'step up'" ploy...
What a bunch of BS. Of course, "I wish we could." is also BS.
But, you folks already knew that!.
So, now everyone knows exactly what's going on. Why bother pestering Boss Lady with questions; why aren't the peons out looking for better jobs?
@@flyingspirit3549Don't be mean. They are out there looking for a job too. Some are single parent households. Some care for their parents or have someone on hospice in their home, some have to work every minute as every penny is needed.
@@flyingspirit3549 Ah yes, the old song and dance.
"If you hate it so much, get a better job."
"Ok."
"Why doesn't anyone want to work anymore?"
Meanwhile, these "peons" do continue their search but keep running into the same problems
I see a department pizza party in their future. Work 80 hrs a week...get free two slices of pizza on the company. I'm in.
But you will be working through that lunch time. Off the clock.
@kevinwood8182 ~
Sorry, Kevin. By the time you get your pizza, it'll be cold. And you *know* how lousy pizza that's been re-heated in the microwave is. "Chin up," though, it's for the good of the company...
Sometimes chicken wings though!
@@alexdee5341 I am in Texas. Sometimes we get a taco bar.
C'MON VERONICA!! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT!!
Can and wont are very two different things Mrs. Manager.
I'm a veterinarian and the hospital I work at hasn't had a medical director for a full year now. There are virtual meetings that all the medical directors in the area have to attend every other month. Management has been making all of us associate doctors rotate to attend them, which I think is bullshit. I'm not being paid extra to attend the meeting on my day off and take notes to bring back to the rest of the team, and it isn't my fault we haven't hired someone for the position for a year! Not to mention that I'm currently working a reduced schedule due to disability. It sucks though because the other doctors aren't taking a stand about it, which makes me feel like I'm giving all of them more work by not volunteering to attend.
As a doctor from a third world country (the Philippines), I share the same sentiments. When the Chairman of the ER Department passed away two years ago, the Board did not appoint a new chairman. I've been attending meetings and solving problems left and right, on top of my usual responsibilities as a physician. It sucks. At first I thought it would just be temporary, because the chairman DIED, but hey, it has been two years! I am not being paid to attend meetings on my day-off too. They don't give me extra money to solve the problems of the ER Dept.
I asked the Board to (1) Appoint a new Chairman or (2) Make me "officially" the OIC, but no, they did not. They said that they do not have the budget to appoint/pay a new chairman HAHA and since I am doing the job without the title, then they save a lot of money.
@amycopeland1701 💯 x ♾️
I am happy that the other colleague is also like Veronica.
In my case, only I talk. The other colleagues stay mute. The team leader thinks it's only my problem.
I knew a girl and all the employees stepped up for 5 yrs to make this small accounting firm very profitable and stable; the the owner sold it to a larger firm and all his employees were let go including the girl I knew in sales. The owner made a bundle. True story, She went into nursing and was totally mad about the dedication asked for by the owner and lost her job in return.
Did the owner say "We're family" LOL
As doing overtime is NOT MANDATORY, I’d be declining their request to do any
Lol its only a team/family when job wants U to help THEM.
Thats a great point Veronica.
First let me say this is voluntary not mandatory and the shifts that need to be covered will be paid at OT rates.
We can set this up many different ways.
There are always people looking to puck up extra shifts for money and there are always people not looking for extra shifts. Both are fine and having a meeting to discuss how to go forward puts some of the decision making in the employees hands.
I honestly don’t know what upper management is thinking.
Accounting for the price to find,hire, onboard and train a new person it will still be less expensive than paying out 40 hours of OT every week to cover the work
This is true. I rarely pick up extra shifts, I only do it if it's something only I can do. Otherwise I let one of the others do the overtime. I've had three extra shifts this year and that's more than enough.
I just got fired from a job after a whole 8 days because I complained about exactly this, extra shifts without pay and doing company errands in my car without compensation.
I guess when I didn't roll over and just do it I exhibited a poor attitude and was no longer a good fit for the job.
Exactly and usually when you point out the bs you are the only one doing it! It's so freaking frustrating.
sounds like a middle school i used to work at, they advertised full time teaching job, i applied then the snake principal said they didn't have the money to hire. like how stupid is she to put an ad in for a job but there is no job
When you address it an other day; the same issues will be present.
yeah
I love how Veronika comes out swinging everytime
i am retired now but was involved in a toxic work environment like this for ten years of my life. the real issue is managers get bonuses on how much they can bring their departments in under budget. this is so counter productive to your customers and staff. the real disaster is when they get a senior staff who has been with the company for a long time. if they can terminate or get this staff to quit then they can bring a new employee in at a much lower pay. again it is not in the budget means that it will affect the bottom line and the managers bonus... by the way i love your site and like how you are exposing these tactics
If the company can afford OT for all these workers then you can afford to hire more people.
Sometimes it's not overtime, some companies have shitty rules of OT (one only paid OT if you did more then 80 hours in 2 weeks) also hiring someone new costs a lot of money (training, insurence etc)
Where did salaries go that WERE being paid to the staff who left, thereby creating the shortage? Maybe the CEO used this playbook too often and you’re getting ready to see yet another staff shortage happen. Once the CEO rewards himself with all the extra staff salaries of those who left, he can come down from the ivory tower and do everyone’s job he so effectively ran off!👍
This happens in tons of companies but there's a reason for it. its Salary vs Houry. management is often salary, not getting overtime. they are contract scheduled a number of hours. if they "work over time" putting in 50 hours in 1 week, they are expected by contract to only take 30 hours the next.
Salary ends up having to get extra days off if they "work overtime", so it becomes really frowned on for a manager to work overtime because others have to juggle sceduals to make up for the day off.
on the flip side. hourly can get overtime, and can make a mint getting over time. Hourly often gets paid MORE then managers because of that. in which some companies will put a block on over time. this isn't to say they wont pay overtime if it happens, they just won't let people "trade shifts" to get extra overtime.
What happened to the money that was being paid to the staff that was let go which created the shortage?
CEO bonuses are like "thanks for destoying our company by focusing on short term profits, here is your bonus"
🤣🤣❤
"It's not in the budget." - REALLY? I'm pretty sure you budgeted wages for the year for the 4 people who left in the last 3 months. Maybe apply that money to hire their replacements.
whats sad is some gen z will watch this and think all this insubordination is the norm and end up fired
Did Veronica take the manager's glasses?? 😆😆😆
If you wont lead from the front then you cant lead.
Shady companies are all like this
Wow…as I watch some of these I can honestly say I know exactly what real-life corporation/company these skits are taken from. Is that true for anyone else?
making it way to complicated, the answer to extra shifts and staying late is "No, thank you."
Got to explain to viewers the why, though.
Since paying overtime and hiring are not in the budget, may I suggest you bring in temp agency workers which cost less than overtime even though they cost more than our normal hourly rate? Then when we get approval for new team hires and hire them- we can stop bringing in the temp workers.
Yeah so they don't have the budget to hire more people but they have the budget to make everyone work overtime. Right.
Ok !!!!!!!
If it's not in the budget then how can they pay the current employees extra shifts and extra hours to stay late? Thinking... 🤔
even if managers work overtime, I literally do not care.
It is ALWAYS women managers.
I would love it if I could say what Veronica says in these videos
At least they are paid hourly and should get OT. Honestly, usually there is 25% of the workforce that will work as much OT as available. There is always someone who needs extra cash to pay down some credit cards, get their car fixed, cover Christmas bills, etc.
😂
They don’t have the money to hire anyone, yet they have the money to pay overtime?
Oh, they won't get paid for that, clearly.
Have you enjoyed capitalism enough yet? There’s no way out anyway 😂
Why can’t your husband make dinner and go to ballet 🤔

@patriciasalem3606 ~
*20,000 people* ? *20,000 people* ? 63 *million dollars* ?!?!?!?! Wow.
I'm guessing it was (is?) a worldwide company?
Familiar with the 80’s - the decade of greed, corporate raiders and acquisitions? It’s bringing us closer towards monopolies-that thing we have laws against but ignore so it continues to happen. Just follow the money.
