Sounds like a Management Skill issue
My job is IT. Staffing is your job.
Do some people actually get these messages? It sounds almost illegal. I get emails from management moaning at me for not using my annual leave and reminding me to take them before they reset.
Sometimes managers do guilt trip.
Shitty manager: “Oh you’re taking a few days off to go to a funeral? Now Sarah has to work overtime… :-(”
A dumb employee would then try to reduce your PTO time to make it work, because they’re too stupid to realize that it’s the manager’s responsibility, not theirs.
Oh, and the manager is paid significantly more than them.
Had a boss that refused to give me full time cause that would cost company more money, but would harass me if I ever called out. Would remind him that he refused to make me full time and didn’t give me a raise that year so I sure as hell wasn’t driving through a blizzard to come to work a night when I hadn’t been scheduled until 15 minutes before he called.
Yes, yes we do. I’ve recieved them personally
Your leave resets? That sounds illegal.
Use it or lose it is very common, even in (US) government employment.
Translation: We’re extremely short staffed, so we are shaming our employees into sacrificing their vacation
Oh hey it’s my old work
“Should have hired taller people then”
Solid joke, but hard to pull off in person if you’re over 6 feet.
A lack of adequate planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
I believe that this, particularly, is why many fast food restaurants are closing way earlier than they did several years ago. No, it isn’t because of the pandemic. It’s because someone (Gen Z) finally got fed up with the bullshit of managers dictating when they can work as opposed to a fixed schedule. No, no one should ever have to bear the burden of “picking up a shift” - that’s just shitty management and has been for around 60 years. We’ve all just bowed our heads and accepted that we need a job. Gen Z said, collectively, “Wait, what?” and the world will be better for it. Under no circumstance should someone ever be forced to work 2nd shift one day and early mornings the next.
No doubt answered with “we’re a family here” nonsense, all while the company makes record profits and the executives get compensated with a giant bag of cash. Yuck.
“Okay, cool. Family knows when to drop a subject. Good luck!”
“Okay, cool. Family knows when to drop a subject. Good luck!”
Nice. I’ll have to remember that retort!
👏🏻👏🏻
Really?! That sounds like awful management.
That sounds like every job I’ve ever had. Working so hard everyone is making themselves sick and the moment you’re not at 100% you’ll be let go for underperforming. God forbid you actually ask to be paid for the overtime you worked, good luck chump. Then some other desperate soul will take your place until they’re chewed out and replaced. We weren’t even called employees, we were human capital. The worst part is I’d do it all over again if that meant I would have a paycheck again. At least then I’d be able to afford rent, cause if I don’t find a job in a few months I lose my apartment. Apparently I’m living in the greatest part of the world.
Forgot the part where management also says use it or lose it, your vacation no longer rolls over, and your vacation bank now has an expiry date. But thanks again for all your hard work.
I’m not good with faces, but that’s Hugh Laurie correct? I enjoy his stuff, can anyone clue me into what this is from?
It’s not house nor Bertie Wooster
It might be from *Flight of the Phoenix” (2004) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_of_the_Phoenix_(2004_film)
Interesting tidbit: He filmed his audition tape for House from his hotel room during the shooting of Flight of the Phoenix.
You can find it on YouTube.
Holy shit I just finished watching House for the first time like a month ago and I knew he looked familiar. So weird for me not to see him with any scruff or a cane
Check out Avenue 5, hearing him switch between accents constantly is odd but fun.
It’s crazy how well he does an American accent. I’m currently watching Veep and was so impressed with how normal southern he sounds. Not a hint of a British accent!
You need to watch black adder
Have you seen Hugh Laurie without his American accent? After only seeing him in House it’s uncanny
Fun (low quality) fact: He’s actually Australian!
Ancient video time!
I have, and I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it
It’s high Huge Laurie without facial hair…
Reverse image search failed me
Dug a little deeper and found a Pinterest pin that seems to suggest it’s his role as “Richard Roper” from “The night Manager”
Sounds like a management problem to me.

(No ill will 🤚🥹)
Well fuck.
What a weird word. Thanks
Cheers 🍻
TOUGH. I scheduled this vacation months ago.
