Yes, except "hire enough people". You can't staff enough to cover 4 out of 8 employees off from a combination of sick, bereavement, and vacation.

It happens. All you can do is prioritize tasks, make it work the best you can with the resources you have, and manage expectations.

If the work can't be rescheduled, and isn't worth paying someone OT to cover, well, then, it's not worth doing.

Also have some professionalism and make sure your management knows how to spell

I've worked with Fortune 100 companies that were total Mickey Mouse outfits.

I got sued by a big supplier over literally nothing, after I had refused to honor an illegal clause in a contract (which literally would have put me out of business, so it was a serious issue). They couldn't sue me for that, so they claimed I hadn't returned some rented equipment, which was a lie. But they said that I better pay up ($10K), because who did I think the judge was going to believe, some loser (their lawyer's word), or a Fortune 500 company? I didn't say it, but in MY county, I doubted the judge was going to favor the big corporation.

When we got to court, I had my lawyer ask me about my new supplier's inventory control system, and explained how the new system had bar codes, and every piece of gear is carefully tracked. The company that was suing me, couldn't even tell the court how many they had in stock, how many they rented out, etc.

The judge looked at the Plaintiffs, and said, "This is the most amateurish inventory control system I've ever seen. I don't understand how you got to be a Fortune 500 company by doing business this way. You expect me to tell this man to pay you $10,000, when you don't even know if the equipment is actually missing?"

She found for me, AND made them pay my legal fees. After two years of worry, it was one of the most satisfying days of my life.

One reason why there are so many nonsense lawsuits in the US is that unlike Europe and the UK, it's unusual that the loser has to pay the winner's costs. In Europe that's standard. As a result, an American person or group is much more likely to sue, because if they lose all it costs them is their own legal fees. AFAIK they also do the reasonable thing and cap fees so that if someone sues a rich multinational corp and loses, they're not out millions of dollars because the multinational hired a huge, expensive team to defend themselves.

Justice would really be a world where these nonsense lawsuits didn't happen at all.

While some "nonsense lawsuits" do happen, there is a very strong extent to which the notion of "nonsense lawsuits" being an epidemic in America is pro-corporate propaganda. Designed to get people to side with the big guy over the little guy who was wronged by them.

Take the infamous McDonald's coffee lawsuit, for example. The woman in question received third-degree burns. Coffee, the normal way it's served hot, does not do that. Maccas was serving it overly hot. They had even received multiple reports of it being a problem ahead of time. And the woman initially only wanted them to pay for her medical bills. When they refused prior to the lawsuit, she sued. They again refused the offer of medical bills during settlement negotiations, and she rightly won big. Maccas' negligence caused serious harm, and it's right that they were stung for it.

Really, it's not. Every other country looks at the absolute chaos of lawsuit nonsense in America and recoils in horror.

Take the infamous McDonald's coffee lawsuit, for example. The woman in question received third-degree burns.

Sure, and in most countries that would be solved by good regulations not lawsuits. As you said, they'd received multiple reports of it being a problem, but the US laissez-faire system means that corporations are free to do whatever they want until someone gets severely injured. In a properly run country this woman would never have been injured, and if she was injured she wouldn't have to rely on lawsuits to get her medical bills paid.

1

in most countries that would be solved by good regulations

Quite likely both, actually. Good regulations help reduce the chance of it happening, but if it does happen, damage is done. Regulations might mean they receive a fine, but that doesn't make the victim of their negligence whole. Medical bills aren't all there is to it. There's the cost of pain and suffering. Probably time off work. (And having good leave policies doesn't necessarily help, because now that's leave she's used for this that she can't use if she later needs to for another reason.) Cost of repair/cleaning the car. Lawsuits would still happen.

And anyway, I'm not defending American anti-regulation bs. I'm defending people's right to sue companies that wronged them. In the absence of good regulations protecting consumers, suing a company that did the wrong thing isn't "absolute chaos". There is no "absolute chaos of lawsuit nonsense". That is corporate propagandistic bullshit.

1

Contrary to popular belief, the US isn't actually unusually litigious. European countries are just as litigious and Germany, Sweden and Austria all have higher numbers.

The reason we have more "nonsense" lawsuits is because we have a culture that says caveat emptor is a sound defense and negligence on one parties side is equally the fault of the injured party.
"Why didn't you look at your food before biting the metal fillings? It's your responsibility to make sure what you eat is safe" and "you walked on my icy sidewalk, you slipped, and now you want me to pay for your ambulance? I should have put down salt, but you should have known better than to walk there" are both reasonable statements to a lot of Americans. Hell, we have special derogatory terms for lawyers that work with individuals who have been non-criminally injured by someone else.

On paper, paying the other parties legal fees if you lose sounds good, but what it does it keep individuals who can't afford to pay legal someone else's fees to withold valid legal complaints. In an ideal world they would proceed because they were right, but we live in a world where sometimes the person in the right looses, or they reasonably thought they were and were wrong. Due diligence or actual correctness is no assurance of justice, so a lawsuit is a gamble and a more expensive one if you also have to pay the other parties costs, and if they're a business which has lawyers on staff they might not even view a crippling legal cost as an increased expense.
On the other side that business just tells their lawyer to file the paperwork, they're already paying for the legal consult so they're advised going in if it's a good idea, and if they lose they're out a few weeks of lawyer salary.

Lawsuits are a mark of people using societies tools to resolve disputes. There being more in places with higher trust in social institutions makes sense. People are willing to use the system and they trust it'll deliver justice.
The US is up there because people need to use lawsuits to make up for our lack in social safety nets, and our preposterous number of businesses are constantly using them to settle disputes.

We should eliminate the court fees entirely and provide the trial lawyer equivalent of a public defender.
A bolt in your oatmeal is a good reason to sue, and if you can't afford a lawyer to help you pay to get your tooth put back in it doesn't seem unreasonable for society to give you access to someone to help you find a path to remunerations.

It was cool walking out of court with my lawyer, both of us wanting to celebrate, but the other team was dejectedly walking down the hall in front of us, shoulders slumped, humiliated, so we didn't want to interrupt THAT. They got their asses handed to them badly, and they were feeling it. My lawyer grabbed my arm and pulled me into an alcove and pretended to use the water fountain, and said "We make a GOOD TEAM!" We played them like a fiddle, and she was rightfully excited.

That final monologue from the judge wasn't the only fun thing that happened.

They were first questioning the regional inventory rep, and the local branch manager kept whispering in his ear. After a few questions, the judge asked "Who are you?"

"The local branch manager."

"Are you under oath?"

"Uhhh..."

"NO! YOU ARE NOT! SO BE QUIET! When I want to hear from you, you'll be put under oath, and then you can talk. Until then, be quiet." She was giving peak Judge Judy vibes.

Then it got really good. The judge then said: "In fact, I want you to sit by yourself in the back of the courtroom. MOVE!" And he had to go sit by himself in the back of the empty courtroom like a fucking misbehaving child. Heh-heh.

And when he did testify, he brought no supporting documents with him. He couldn't tell how many times a year they inventoried their gear, how many they had in inventory the last time, how many they had in stock today, and I even had my lawyer ask if they repurposed equipment for other uses, to which he said Yes, but then couldn't say how many had been repurposed at all. He literally had no grasp at all about how much inventory they had. Nearly every answer was "I don't know."

This was the testimony they were relying on to accuse me of stealing from them, which I hadn't done. They were literally counting on the judge finding against me just because they were a big company.

By the time judge had to render her decision, she was REALLY pissed off at them. I can't tell you how satisfying it is to hear a judge tear into the people that have wrongfully tortured and harassed you for the last couple years.

Right? I work for an actual megacorp and our policy is almost the exact opposite on every point.
Sick workers make more sick: don't work and feel better faster. Distracted workers makes mistakes and cause problems: don't work and take care of your kid. Rested workers work better: take the time around the holidays off entirely. Productivity is crap then anyway and with so many vacations it's easier to plan around a block where nothing happens than to deal with random teams having unpredictable delays. Car broken? Expense a Lyft. We have a corporate account and your ride to work is a rounding error compared to the sales visits.

If you're going to invoke money you should actually understand how big companies function and view money.

Hot take: a million dollar company is a small company. The owner better stop acting like his company is something exceptional

36

I'd say it's a lukewarm take at best. A million dollar company is something like a small (<10 people) consulting agency or a couple hot dog stands in a relatively busy area. So like you said, nothing exceptional.

Leaving out self-employed individuals and 2-3 person hair salons and the like, a million dollar revenue is not really something difficult to reach. Especially if you include things like retail, where moving any inventory increases revenue a lot. Even for companies outside retail, when keeping in mind how much one is able to bill for things like trades in the US, revenue increases quite quickly.

I get the sick child thing, though. I used to own a retail shop, and one girl would check the schedule, and if I was off, she'd call in sick, knowing I could cover her shift. This was pissing me off, because I only took Sundays off, so every time she did that, I'd have to go 2 weeks without a break, and then she'd do it next weekend, too.

Often her sick daughter was the excuse. Her husband was chronically unemployed ( he never had a job the entire time I knew her, while she worked two jobs), and I finally said "No, have your husband watch her, he doesn't have anything else to do."

And that's when she said one of the most outrageous things I've heard: "He doesn't like taking care of her, because she's a girl, and Hispanic men don't like taking care of girls."

I lost it. "You mean that because you have this communication problem with your loser husband, I have to be the solution? My Sundays are my time to spend with MY kid, but I can't do it because YOUR useless husband doesn't want to be bothered with spending time with HIS kid? Your problems are your problems, and they are not mine to fix. Stop making your problems my problems. I expect you to get to work today, or don't come back."

She did end up quitting not long after, and then called me up months later when she needed money, and begged for work. She had experience, so I gave her another chance. Then she got pissed because after being gone for a year, everyone else was making more money, so she demanded the same pay, and then demanded more, because she wanted the Assistant Manager position that she claimed I offered her before she quit (I had never done that, I would never have given her control of the shop), which was already held by someone competent, who still works for me to this day.

I have no sympathy for a company that makes their employees work on Christmas Eve.

yeah, I've been with my current company as we've grown from like a million dollars in sales to 20 times that

at a million dollars in sales, it was like five of us doing everything and we all worked so much to get it all done and build things to grow as time went on. so while I think this is opposite of what Jenny is trying to convey, a million dollar company would likely require no callouts at critical times.

now, two points:

  1. that doesn't make it ok. in my situation, we all enjoyed it and we're compensated for it. that's why it worked.
  2. a multi-million dollar company, with like 50+ employees, that's I think what Jenny is trying to get at, real "big company" shit — in which case, a proper company such as that can handle a few callouts, else they are by definition not a company with their shit together

I couldn't agree more. Acting like a million dollar company is important.

A million dollar company would recognize that reliable, continuous production and sales is more important to growth than the occasional hickup or a few extra bucks in the payroll budget. Thus, the million dollar company would hire sufficient staff that an occasional absence, even at a critical moment, would not harm production or sales.

And a million dollar company would recognize that hiring sufficient staff is a wiser and more cost effective strategy than a possible labor lawsuit along with the associated bad PR.

Jenny should do a grammar check for your and you're

ooh wow, a company that's worth less than most shitty houses in Seattle, I'm real impressed

Child sick, buy some medicine

Your sick, buy some medicine

How about providing free health insurance at no cost to the employee and access to child care services also at no cost? Or would be socialism?

you're right. let me treat you like a million-dollar company.

I'll have my lawyer get in touch.

You're not worth much as a company if you need to berate employees before they’ve even done anything wrong while making them work holidays.

5

I mean, you're not a slave, so they can't force you in. Lol. I'd look for a new job and quit without notice during a busy shift Jenny is working.

Also, they're a million dolar company. Learn when a comma doesnt cut it, and you need to upgrade to a colon, semicolon or a dash.

My neighbor's house is a million dollar house. He acts like it.

Hopefully management learned from this, given that the sign is probably from 2023 (last time that Dec 23rd and 24th were on Sat/Sun)

My Starbucks tried to do this shit a decade ago. I came in with the flu and made sure to let everyone know that the manager just wouldn't accept me calling in.

3

Did it spread like crazy? I had an old job where my boss was like that. Well until the whole company caught covid at the same time. Instead of being down 1 or 3 people, we had to shut down for a week. We lost so much money and some customers.

Yeah it wasn't great but there was obviously no policy change. During my four year tenure there, we went through six managers if that says anything.

You sure are acting like a million dollar company, don't give a shit about your employees and bully people into illegal working practices.

Not that all larger companies are immune to that either. Amazon exists.

3

If you pay people enough, you don’t have to write memos like this.

2

This is what your coworkers and you should reference when you're out there striking. Strike because Jenny is a dickhead.

2

The command of written English for this note, however, belies the claim of "million dollar company" and comes off more as a fly-by-night operation taking place in a rundown Hong Kong alley.

Pretty clear that Jenny is a nepo baby, or a quid-pro-quo, cocksucking whore. Bitch can't spell/grammar, no way she got hired on her own merits to manage people.

Tell me you've never worked retail without telling me you've never worked retail

Not even retail. I can’t count the number of professional emails I’ve had, including from managers with huge salaries with basic grammar and spelling mistakes.

They other day I used "awayting" in place of "awaiting" in a slide deck. I know that's not a word, I can't explain the mistake. All that is to say, if you mistake your and you're, I'm still going to think you're an idiot.

If it was a James, instead of Jenny, the words I wrote would not have changed. James can also be a nepo baby, quid pro quo, cock sucking whore.
