“Cut labor.”
Sometimes, they grope someone or tell them to work faster, but those are automatic physiological responses like a jellyfish feeding itself.
“Labor mad. Pizza party.”
“Labor exposed to plague. Goodie bag.”
Don’t forget motivational donuts. You may only take one!
Nurses got a fucking rock.
All managers do is eat hot chip and fuck people over
Not entirely correct. You have some people, like me, who were made managers involuntarily. Like, literally I was told I had to manage these people starting today. Now the one thought bouncing around my head is how much I hate it and how I need to find something else.
I had one manager who didn’t have this sole thought, best manager I ever had, and she got replaced for that reason by a guy who sucked ass and made half the staff quit
The difference between a rare good manager and a standard shitty manager is night and day, even for the very same job. I’ve lived that myself.
“People don’t quit jobs, they quit managers”
Used to work at a coffee shop/retaurant that was busy and did good business, and the owner thought to themselves, “how can i make even more money off an already profitable business?” and decided to cut labor on our busiest days. So we went from having busy days that flowed smoothly, to a staff of like 2-3 of us having to make food, take orders, make drinks, run drinks, re stock, clean bathrooms, keep up with inventory, etc, which in turn caused quality to drop, lines to form, and people to leave. All of this so the owner could squeeze in an extra $100 a day. You couldn’t give them any feedback because “I have a business degree and you don’t”, so they brought in an “expert” that told them if they didn’t change their business model they would have to close down.
They kept cutting labor and demanding we keep the same quality and service. Shit didn’t work. I walked out mid shift. They closed down a few weeks later.
going into last quarter, blah blah, do highly intense holiday work but with the bare minimum of hours
run a skeleton crew forever
i hate this late capitalism neoliberal collapse hell
I have quit two jobs because “if it’s like this in June, then what will the holidays be like”
Either “cut labor” or “discipline labor”.
Always both
