It amazes me that people who can’t distinguish between ‘your’ and ‘you’re’ are allowed to manage people
clears throat Don’t you think we should ask for more than a million dollars? A million dollars isn’t exactly a lot of money these days. Virtucon alone makes over 9 billion dollars a year!
We are a million-dollar company. Let’s act like one.
Okay so that means you’ll schedule several people to be on-call, right?
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 am not a million dollar company I am a wage slave that gets treated like a disposable sack of shit by said Million Dollar Company. And I won’t be sacrificing my or my family’s health for their benefit.
Your sick --> You’re. Let’s act like a million dollar company, mmmk?
Lets, let’s, we an million doller compny. Us acts like 1.
We had a guy call in one day saying he couldn’t make it as he was having car problems. Boss says he didn’t even know he had a car. Guy replies: I don’t. That’s the problem.
“we are a million dollar company, you have no choice but to come in and make your $90 on this day”
Ya ok. If we are a million dollar company then where’s my share?
Fuck that mentality.
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.
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.
Fair enough. The company I’m talking about did a million a month in payroll.
If anyone wants to call and complain her number is 8675309.
So what is that number really?
Jenny’s number.
It was found on a bathroom wall I believe.
For a good time. For a good time, call!
How many people use that as the MS bitlocker password…lol
Works at most every “do you have a phone number with us?” Place in existence. Someone out there has a shitload of Walgreens points.
I got it!
Jennifer Aniston is an asshole boss.
A Horrible Boss you would say.
Hot take: a million dollar company is a small company. The owner better stop acting like his company is something exceptional
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.
Million dollar company sounds impressive, but I don’t think that is impressive. Like twenty employees already imply a million or more in expenses annually, and require corresponding revenue to sustain.
Yeah, I took it as it’s a barely functional company that’s being held together by hopes and dreams. The food vendors at my local state fair do millions in sales in just a few weekends. Per Wikipedia, Sweet Martha’s Cookies in 2023 made $4.6 million in 12 days.
20 employees = 3-4 employees + 1 owner/CEO whose wife needs fake tits and many vacations, but yes otherwise
Needs?
People’s needs are things like food, water, air and Costco rotisserie chicken.
In fact this ‘need’ could be easily fulfilled by two Costco rotisserie chickens taped to the chest and that way meals would be covered too.
Making people come to work while sick hurts the company in the long run. It makes more workers sick and less productive
Also increases recovery time further decreasing productivity
My sick what?
I was wondering the same thing. Maybe referring to a specific sickness a person has?
But more likely just skipped English class.
Fuck you Jenny
a million dollar company is, what, like, 10 employees?
That’s probably why they’re desperate for no call offs. In this day a million dollar company still feels like it’s constantly on the edge of collapse. No pity for jenny though, if you can’t manage around your workforce taking time off during the holidays that’s bad management.
I have no sympathy for a company that makes their employees work on Christmas Eve.
