- Hi, I'm Tate Harris and this is The Daily Report. Today was a crazy day, my driver was about to quit his job. I also lifted and mowed my grandparents lawn, which was good, but tiring. Thanks for watching and I'll see you tomorrow.
This company doesn’t sound well run at all. If they’re that short handed, they aren’t paying enough. If he works that much, he’ll definitely be a good employee elsewhere. Definitely a good lesson to stand up for yourself.
So if this driver quits, the company is without a driver permanently versus being without a driver for one week. That’s like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
My dad told me everyone is replaceable. That is how companies look at it.
That is precisely why they do not have the staff. The boss is obviously a KHUNT
@@bg147 Yeah, and it's short-sighted. Everyone should be replaceable in an emergency (people have accidents, go on vacation, get sick, die unexpectedly), but replacing an employee quickly and immediately is very cost-ineffective. This company is going to have to spend money on recruiting someone, then wait for them to be available while there's no one at all available to make all those deliveries, then take up someone's time teaching the new guy the route, and once he's trained, it will be a while before he can make the runs as fast as the previous guy. That company is likely to lose customers when they can't deliver and can't promise that next week, they will be able to deliver. They also can't charge for the missed deliveries, so they'll be bleeding money for a while instead of for less than a week.
DO NOT QUIT. Let them Fire you. This is a trap. If you quit, no Unemployment. If they fire you without cause, then Unemployment.
It depends on the type of employment. They'll find a cause if it suits them. It will affect future employment as well depending on the industry. Labor laws are crap in this country. In Britain, it is illegal for future employers to even contact and ask certain questions about previous employees.
Exactly….. get them to fire you…
I agree with you. It may be a trap. Sometimes this is how companies will clean house to get rid of employees who are tenured so they can hire someone else at a lower pay scale. This is called wage avoidance. It is against the law but too many companies get away with it. If you're in a right to work state then they can pretty much fire you for wearing the wrong color shoes. (IE) They don't need a reason.
Thanks❤ I will work until they get tired of having money than I will GTFO befor3 that dumb ass discussion 😒 aka your fired 😒
@@freddiebeltran8174 You won't be able to use them as a reference really, so just say to the next job, you travelled around the country for a bit of life experience !!
100 years ago when I had managers working for me they would try and decline their employee's vacations for whatever reason. My response was always, "Approve it. You'll be covering it if they quit over it, so there's a way. They've earned it. Sign it." Always.
100 years ago…?
@@PoJoTube seriously ? buzz kill
That wouldn't happen in Australia. If an employer tried that in Australia and fired someone for not turning up on their holiday they would be sued and lose. He can easily get a job in Australia as a driver as we have a shortage of drivers here. Paid vacation here is 4 weeks minimum for every worker but a lot of businesses give 5 weeks.
Always sucks when you make friends with coworkers and one of you leaves
I had a similar but different situation. After 2 years at this company in Florida, I was entitled to 2 weeks vacation. When I asked to take them, they said: "Oh please can you only take one week at a time because nobody can replace you." I was a bit annoyed but accepted it. This would not happen in Canada or Europe with stronger employee benefit rights.
I immediately thought of the movie “What about Bob” when you mentioned your partner is going to vacation at Lake Winnipesaukee! I feel bad for your partner. He’s obviously given a lot of himself to that company and they reward him by saying he has to work during his vacation and they don’t say anything until literally a few days before his vacation. If he let them know ahead of time that he was taking vacation, then it’s on them to cover for him. People can’t work crazy hours like he is for a long period of time. Hope he does end up taking the other job. Companies like this need to realize that they can’t treat people like this
I'm new here but I'm not understanding the "my partner"
@@caspernovelli3568his co-worker who drove the delivery truck as the two of them delivered ice around rtown.
I once worked for a hospital like this. I gave up days off, came in early, stayed late, worked overtime (for straight time) gave up vacation time, etc. When I needed one day off for a dental appointment, I was told "NO". I said "Fuck You...I quit: and I did !!!!!
No paid vacation? NAME THAT COMPANY!!!
Many companies have no paid vacation
Most fast food,many small businesses
Unpaid vacation only exists in America.
@@MauriceBln1 no wonder only the poor from South America want to live there 😆
If the employee is truly valuable, they won’t let him quit. Threatening to have “a discussion” is a go-to intimidation tactic to get an employee bend to management’s will. Good on him for calling their bluff.
This is a tough lesson to learn. Please pay attention and learn this is more or less normal in most small business. I'm sure you didn't cover this in school. Don't fall into the trap.
"Have a discussion when you get back?!? Right! He needs to tell him, "I quit."
As for your windshield, the glue curing should only take a few hours. It's possible the crack you saw yesterday wasn't a crack but the way the light reflected off the glass.
I know this because i recently replaced my windshield at Safelite and they were very fast and professional.
I'm glad you have shared your channel with your grandmother. Some of your friends might know about your channel and watch it but haven't said anything yet.
Congratulations on your coworker for standing their ground. Too few people do that. ❤
Companies don't treat people very well anywhere
You need to check work conditions in countries in Europe. Let's pick at random, say...Germany. Please tell us what you find. (Alternatively, there are Yt channels of Americans, living in Germany, who tell of their experience.) But it doesn't have to be just Germany. Btw, I agree with your granny - work, gym, mowing, and now your channel - you need to slow down, take care of yourself.
@@Niaulc-sx1nl no, they don't treat them well anywhere. the only reason why Germany has better work conditions is because labor unions keep them in check.
I worked for so many companies and to tell you the truth, non treated employees the way they should. It is just their culture! They want to take advantage of you for each cent they give you. There is no room for social life and your family. Be your own boss 😊 is what am in now.
you have a good moral compass and are a little wiser each day your here on earth. With a mind of your own, standing on ur own 2feet, ability to see the whole picture. Good 4u PEACE MR
If your company is short three drivers, and can't fill them, there is an issue with management. Usually raising the wages will fix that problem.
The idea of working seven days a week 10 hours a day is cruel and unusual punishment….
As a German, I even can't imagine that. We have 20 days of paid vacation by law, but usually, you get at least 25 to 30 days. And you can't waive any of these days, the law says you have to take all of your vacation days to recreate. If you turn ill during vacation days, the doctor reports that to your employer electronically and you get those days in addition to paid vacation days.
And of course, every employee has health insurance and the scope of services is regulated by law. Therefore no health insurance can refuse to pay, and you are not even bothered with doctors' invoices including specialists or hospital bills, because the care provider bills the insurance directly. There's no co-payment except in the pharmacy, which is up to 10 Euros per medicine, 10 Euros per hospital day (recovering part of the food), and some dentist activities, which might require a co-payment.
And of course, you get paid if you are ill. The first six weeks per case are fully paid by the employer, and from the seventh week, you get paid by health insurance. The insurance can reduce the payment a few percent, but not very much, and they pay more than a year, if necessary.
And the US as the richest country can't afford to give their workers, who create the nation's wealth, a fair amount of paid vacation, full health insurance, paid maternity leave (for both parents), and a retirement pension?
Don't let your employer treat you like crap. Unemployment is low and the economy is adding 200,000 jobs per month. Seek other options.
200,000 jobs per month?? Sorry, but you’re delusional.
@@joesinkovits6591 It's a fact. If you don't know that, you're just ignorant. Check the jobs report before opening your mouth. 206k added in June.
@@chansetwoWhat's ignorant is you trying to pass off incomplete and misleading info. You can't extrapolate one month's number to other months. The trends say otherwise. June new job number was up slightly, but April and May new job numbers had big downward revisions. And on top of that, unemployment has started to inch upwards. Tell me you're a Biden voter without telling me you're a Biden voter.😂
@chansetwo
@@oliverhenri3477 I'm not extrapolating anything. The data is there for everyone to see. The economy has been adding over 200k jobs per month for months. If you don't know that, you're just ignorant. Yes, The Bureau of Labor Statistics is a reliable source. That's why they're the standard. Wake up.
Huh? Where are the jobs? Oh wait, those 200,000 probably part time.
This episode shows you have compassion and concern for others. But you get to see the poor way some employers treat employees. I do hope the guy finds a decent job.
Sounds like the well has already been poisoned, so if he has the possibility of a job elsewhere, what the company does might be a moot point. I hope that your job isn't affected if they don't have a driver for the route. Good luck Tate.
Wpw!!!!you are an amazing person and valuable to any company. Best wishes to you.
I think the answer to your grandmother's question is, you seem very self-motivated, and you also have a rare quality work ethic.
Change always raises a lot of questions, but I'm glad your partner has decided to investigate options if the current company is no longer meeting his needs. Work is very important but we work to live, not live to work. It doesn't sound like he will have trouble excelling at whatever he does next. And, Dude! If you've got his number, give him a call the week after next and ask him how things turned out - you know you want to know and he will appreciate your checking in on him. On a different topic, what does your shirt say: "Hurricane Ridge"? Either way, that is a nice scene on the shirt. Looking forward to that explanation, whenever you have your thoughts pulled together and want to share with us your why. Maybe that crack was just a line of glue that cured or got cleaned off? Either way, glad it doesn't appear to be a crack!
I hope they were paying him well and giving full benefits. Sounds like a company that pays low wages, no benefits and the owner has a big house, fancy cars and sends kids to private school. PHUKK THAT!!!
So,etching soothing about your voice and videos! Love them.
Oh my gosh. I feel bad for your partner
I’ll tell you why you do what you do. You’re smart , disciplined, and driven. Those are traits few people have and people take notice when they see people like that.
I love your videos. You are a very relaxing force. Good job.
Any time you come in early stay late over and above the more they expecte out of you and less expect you
Even if you haven't told family/friends about this channel they may see it anyway if it pops up on their feed (as it did on mine---probably from watching similar vlogs). Many companies just do not appreciate the employees who labor the hardest for them, unfortunately. Perhaps you will be surprised & your driver will still be there after his vacation.
You need a Union.
These shifts would be unlawful in Austria. In Austria you get 25 days per year/5 workdays a week 30 days per year/6 workdays a week of paid vacation, and there are an additional 13 national holidays, also paid. I had a colleague who was unfortunately ill for 6 month. Also all paid.
This is first time I've found out some companies are not required to give vacation time. How is it that you can take off for your birthday and how many other days after that, but your partner can't have his time off...?
Also sounds like Grandma is proud of her golden boy grandson.
Also wheezer did a song called Buddy Holly, another artist. You should check out the song by Buddy Holly called Everyday.
I've been in this same exact situation... twice.... I quickly learned to NEVER quit. If you do, you automatically can't file for unemployment. Instead, let them fire you. That way, at least you can claim unemployment (which THEY have to pay).
Love your storys , your great
You speak very well. You are easy to sit and listen to
You should put in a good word for him with the big boss. That would go along way to help him out. Companies will screw you if you let them. And you have to know that you’re not gonna get anything back for it. Yeah, you might get employee of the quarter and they might praise you but if the rewards aren’t green, then they aren’t rewards at all.
Ancient Chinese secret, there's always another job....
Stay only as long as you need to... When it's no longer a job and becomes a chore than it's not worth it
They already said yes? Then he just says, "I will be gone the already agreed upon days and unreachable until my time off is over." End of discussion.
I managed a hotel in Cincinnati Ohio. Many many, many, many many years ago and I had a desk clerk who liked to follow the band Phish and they usually traveled in the summer but he would go to just two events and summer was our busy time too. But he was my best desk clerk and I'm going to give him the time off... Too many managers and companies think that they can't manage during the busy time by giving somebody vacation and they can so it's BS
It is possible they filled the crack. There are kits to fix windshield cracks. Yet, I don't have a clue.
Iceman. I live in South FL so the 'ice business' is always booming down here year round. I wish your partner/driver best of luck. It does suck, but i guess i can also see it from your company's point of view that hey, it's a 4 month a year job....can't you go another time? But i get it, it's the entire family from all over that aren't going to change an entire vacation. The situation sucks.
You forced me to DL Weezer Island in the Sun....it's all good, i remember it & do like the song.
Keep doing your thing Tate. See you tomorrow. well i'll see u, u won't see me 🥲
Thank you for the video señor!!!😊
Hi. You are so right. Great song island in the sun by weeper. Love your taste in music. Cheers and good luck
"Island in the Sun" Great song!
That's really bad, I feel for your partner. I can't imagine that because I have 40 days of paid vacation a year.
I understand that everybody thinks a work ethic means not taking time off and doing what your job tells you. But as you get older and get a little bit more control over your life, you realize that there's no reason why people can't just take a week off and there's absolutely no reason why we have to beg an employer for a certain time period off. I found that the more professional my life got, the more I was able to just take one or two weeks off when I wanted to. Some people have a different experience, but I value my freedom.
Now I understand quiet quiting
This is why US capitalism is so anti-union.
The US is shocking the way they treat their employees. Glad we still have Unions here. I’m off for 3 weeks next month.
I was in a situation like this many years ago. I asked for the time off well in advance, they said yes, I booked the vacation and they told me last minute that I needed to work and gave some other guy those same days off. There was a big discussion with me and all the supervisors and they essentially told me that if I quit and I tried to use them as a reference, they'd find a way to tell the prospective employer that I was not a good employee. I told them I quit. I badmouthed the company to my friends and family. I heard later that some of those supervisors got let go by the next summer.
YEP! I've been there as well. So I went back to work for myself. If I mess up...I fire myself. This is not the time to quit a job unless you have another one to go to. And that's just a good rule to keep at any time. I'd try to get other co-workers to cover my shifts if at all possible. If he quits...he forfeits the unemployment insurance. Just an FYI
Total lack of judgment from the company. Losing a competent employee is like losing 3 employees.
This kind of stooge management results in labor unions and strikes.
Hey Tate....Did you win at poker last week? We didn't hear. Also, when are we going to see you on the line between the trees? Another great video today, btw!
Grandma: "Why are you working all those hours"
me: "To try to get the same level of income that you and granpa got when you were only doing 40 a week"
So now his employer is out a employee for several weeks and definitely for next week instead of just the one week they'd previously agreed to. These same people will then complain about work ethic etc and meanwhile treat employees like slaves that they can do and say anything to. What a dumb way to run a business.
I worked for an employer like that, the policy was to book time off three months in advance which I did. The day of the long weekend that I was to be off, the boss called me up and told me that I had to work. I was already 8 hrs drive into my trip and he wanted me to come back. I said no so he fired me.
I think I would have to stick around and see what happened to your partner, or at least have him contact you after his meeting. Your grandmother asked a very good question, I’m curious to see what your future answer will be…..
Obviously, your employer is a bad person, and it's better for your partner to get a new job. I hope this doesn't affect you.
This is why unions came to be over 100 years ago, when 6 year olds worked in coal mines. This is a small company? And its getting worse on every level. I think he will find another job.
You tell them no. You already put in vacation. If they approved it they can't take it back. You can sue them and get a lot more than the one week of vacation. My buddy got fired from Amazon, he sued them and he got 2 years of pay out of the lawsuit. So he went on vacation for 2 years lol. Now, I'm sure it's easier to sue Amazon because they have the money and they just don't want to deal with lawsuits but still.
Hi to granma
OSHA rules.... Sue the "Warehouse"
Leaving everything else aside, OSHA has nothing at all to do with this situation.
Does your company you work for not have a union and did he sign contact. I know your in the states so i not sure of employment law in the states might check Google what rights are.
Wouldn't he have vacation time to use? If he has vacation time, they can't exactly deny you using it.
Most companies can deny specific times to use it.
most companies have times of year that are a no go to take time. Like mine, in my department, summers are a no time off.
Live life❤😊
There’s a chance you might be his boss when he comes back. I would definitely make you the boss. Dude, there’s no way you don’t know that Weezer song. That has been the most played song I can think of. WOW!
Work is a compromise between what the company needs and what the human needs. You can't work none stop all the time the point of a job is to better your free time.
Island in the sun is like a Weezer staple bro! 🤣🤣🤣. Its like saying Smells like teen spirit is a Nirvana deep cut😛
Your coworker should sue them.
He should come to Germany 30 Days paid holiday and Maximum 40 hours a week
They are using him and being cheap not hiring temp drivers at least for this busy time
Guess who gets his hours; it's time to ask for a big raise.
Had a similar issue ??? Very cheap company and over works us all year for many years
Don't go to that lake ice man, that's where Bob is!!! He went there to find Dr. Leo Marvin and he's never left!!! He will ruin your life!!
Unbelievable and sad what happened
cliffhanger story!
To your Grandma - _A life filled with something is better than a life filled with nothing._
So instead of giving the driver a week off, they now have to hire a new driver, which will take probably a month. Doesn’t seem intelligent to me on the part of the warehouse.
The way you explained it at first, I was thinking your partners been taking a week off during peak period summer forever, years! But I guess not? I dunno. Confusing.
ice delivery, that work is a trap
“ Island in the Sun” by Weezer Fuckin Rocks! 🎼🔥👍🏻
He should have stayed and have him fired for unemployment benefits.
I hope you still have a job.
He’ll definitely land on his feet.
I wouldn't show up. If they already gave him the time off, then he technically doesn't have to go in if he can prove he was given a vacation. At least that is how the law works here, If he is smart he won't quit. Just don't show up.
I do wish your partner the best. However, I can understand not giving vacations during peak season. Most jobs won't.
If any of you are working more than 40 hours a week, I hope you are all getting overtime. I live in New York state. It is a NYS labor law mandate that all employers pay time and a half after 40 hours. I know this because a company I was working crazy hours for, was not handling their overtime properly. I had always thought it was suspicious. Someone anonymously reported it to the NY State Department of Labor. There was an investigation and not only was a correction made to payroll, but the company was ordered to compensate everyone for unpaid back-pay. It even extended to people who no longer worked there. Everyone got checks amounting to thousands of dollars. My boss, the owner, fired his bookkeeper/accountant. For years, she had not been handling his payroll properly. Check with your Department of Labor. Don't ask payroll.
Every company is the same now no one want work I have been covering my shift 1st and 3 rd shift with no extra money
There is such a thing as temp workers or contract workers.
why dont he get 4 days off for his birthday like others do? the job makes all the money during the summer so that is when you have to work as much as possible to build up money because winter time brings way less hours and that is when you go on vacation, he will not get time off in the winter at his next job, getting screwed is when you work and not get paid.
ONE INCH!
If they approved that leave already, it's approved.
He should say no. He has plans. I doubt they fire him.
It be funny to unionized
Watch the movie FIST think they start off showing ice haulers
Silvestor stalone stars in that movie
Tom Holland ...
It is my experience that a company will screw you over. Corporate loyalty is for bees.
a tempest in a teapot ... and it's not even your teapot
