It amazes me that people who can’t distinguish between ‘your’ and ‘you’re’ are allowed to manage people

    yeah, I’ve been with my current company as we’ve grown from like a million dollars in sales to 20 times that

    at a million dollars in sales, it was like five of us doing everything and we all worked so much to get it all done and build things to grow as time went on. so while I think this is opposite of what Jenny is trying to convey, a million dollar company would likely require no callouts at critical times.

    now, two points:

    1. that doesn’t make it ok. in my situation, we all enjoyed it and we’re compensated for it. that’s why it worked.
    2. a multi-million dollar company, with like 50+ employees, that’s I think what Jenny is trying to get at, real “big company” shit — in which case, a proper company such as that can handle a few callouts, else they are by definition not a company with their shit together

    edit: also this is almost definitely retail so like yeah fuck Jenny, if somebody is sick, they’re sick. maybe close the store on Christmas if this is always an issue because you’re not paying people enough to be there
