I know right? Imagine this minimum wage worker not dropping everything to come save the day for his manager who had poor planning and a lack of insight.

Then general lack of empathy on both sides is astounding.

Your assumption is that the manager is being paid and treated well by the company. I promise you they are not - they are getting heat from both their leadership and employees. The manager should absolutely have empathy for their employees (and never ask for help in this way), but the fact that you can’t even fathom what the manager is going through lacks of empathy just as much.

Wishing someone good luck is a show of empathy, not a lack thereof.

I don’t think not volunteering to come in on your day off when your boss hasn’t even asked you to do so yet indicates a “lack of empathy.”

Noooo you always have to be ready to run to your minimum wage job at a moments notice even though your employer will send you out on your ass the very second the numbers start looking red!!
Nobody wants to work anymore a bloo bloo bloo!!1

ikr the worker is literally showing empathy. Personally I wouldn’t even have answered the text unless I needed the money.

I’d expect a boss in a bind to offer extra compensation for time scheduled like that. I dont see any offers of double pay or time and a half.

They didn’t say that. But it might be empathetic to interpret their message in the obvious way and say, “I can’t cover”.
But that would require this not to be a fake screenshot made up as a joke, because it would ruin the joke.
