    A million dollar company could just be a warehouse and 10 employees. I don’t know why they are acting like it’s a lot.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      This is great, but at the end of the day, they still harassed you with their bs lawsuit, and they still gave you 2 years of stress. Justice would be them getting counter-sued and you getting compensation for psychological trauma. (even though you will never get your health back 100% from a process like that.)

  source

  • ricecake@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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.

    I worked in a service center for a big company back in my 20’s, they would factor in callouts to their staffing plan, and use historical data for it. They also paid 2.5x time on holidays like the 25/26 December. That’s what a million dollar company should look like…if you want to make sure there’s coverage, you pay for it.

    • SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      A million dollar company is relatively a small fry. That’s what an average auto repair shop can make in a year in revenue. Small companies are way more likely to break labor laws and treat their employees like shit.

  Hot take: a million dollar company is a small company

  source

  • antimidas@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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.

      Yeah, my dad owns a small construction company and it does multimillion worth of jobs a year, but he is a tiny small fry compared to the big companies. Hes not rich, but comfortable, and humble and doesnt flaunt it or talk like a big shot, or force people to work on the weekend. In fact, I think his business secret is how well he treats his employees, they are loyal and love him. A few guys have been working for him over 20 years. He pays right, gives great bonuses, and would come visit you at the hospital.

      Thats all to say, I really admire my dad and hes an inspiration to me. Hes also a committed Christian, of the best kind. He puts Christian principles to use and it shows in how he lives.

      I know, and have known terrible hypocritical Christians, and there are many. The kind that talk the talk but dont walk the walk. And im blessed to have a strong, kind Christian male roll model. I am also a Christian and strive to serve others.
