You know what’s going to be asked next, so here’s the response:

Skill Issue 😓

In my restaurant there’s a four drink minimum before you can start cooking or serving customers.

I got the least serious bollocking of my life from the manager of the bar I worked in when the exec team of the bar I worked in bought me 12 jagerbombs in a single shift

In my restaurant, I make all my female employees withstand uncomfortable sexual advances from me. I have lawsuits out the ass!

Good call, never lie to your boss. Crack open a cold one as soon as the first text comes in

At my wife’s union job, if they are understaffed, they send a text blast needing more folks.
And here’s where it gets awesome. They bid. Sometimes it’s a flat extra $100-500. Other times, it’s DOUBLE your hour wage.
Unions are pretty awesome.

That’s how it should work for all shifts IMO.

Youre a manager. manage to get your ass in there

lol, who let a manager onto the the fediverse?!
Gotta get that instance mass-defederated ASAP before we have a problem.

don’t do that, just add them to a shadowban list maintained by an out-of-touch psychopath.

This is how we end up short-staffed

If the manager is out on the floor doing work, then who is manning the office and sipping drinks?

At work, I don’t appreciate implications. It leads to mistakes and misunderstandings. Bad for business.

It’s because they’ve been drinking

The proper thought to have when an employer says they’re short staffed is “Why didn’t you hire enough people?” not “Gee, I should chip in!”

“If you have time to text me you have time to work”

That’s what I’ve always done, wait until the shift is nearly over and be like “just saw this, hope it all worked out!”

we’re short staffed
Sucks to be you. (Unless I really like you.)
emeralddawn45@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
If you’re my manager and I really like you enough to actually want to help out it’s because of 4 main things:
- I’m compensated appropriately
- I know my extra help will be appreciated and include extra compensation
- This isnt a regular occurrence and the position isnt chronically short-staffed
- You bust your ass to make sure things get done before you try to pass the work on to someone else.
Without those 4 things I don’t care how cool of a person you are or how great your personality is, you’re a shit manager and you’re doing a shit job and I’m not going to pick up your slack.

I was a retail manager when my mom told me she had cancer I said “I don’t know what to say… except… you’re still coming in tho right “

Then general lack of empathy on both sides is astounding.
GalacticSushi@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
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.”
MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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
Sergio@piefed.social 1 month ago
ikr the worker is literally showing empathy. Personally I wouldn’t even have answered the text unless I needed the money.
kreskin@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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.
FishFace@piefed.social 1 month ago
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.
ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
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.
sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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.

This one time I quit my job as a dishwasher by writing a note saying a family member had been raped and I needed to sort my life out. I don’t know why I did that, but my God do I wanna smack my past self. I was a weird fucker. Broken too. But then again, I was the psycho dishwasher. Miracle dishwasher, sure, I got everything caught up from earlier in the day by 6pm no matter what. I’m a hard fucking worker. I had to be to survive my father. Major complexes in my psyche. But y’know, I bust my ass when I do things, and I had been contacted by the CIA pretending to be God on an acid trip, so I was consumed by the need to complete my mission, and that is how I became the 48th and 50th president of the United States. Fuck low level jobs, fucking scabootle this societal pyramid shit, bro. Ascend.

Rather than “we’re short staffed tonight,” maybe try “Hey, want to pick up a shift tonight?” The passive aggressive tone kills me lol

I have had similar conversations with managers in the past, this may be staged but it’s all too real.

i thought that was obvious. I mean the contact name is “manager”… isn’t the point that people wish they would respond like this?
