I was a retail manager when my mom told me she had cancer I said âI donât know what to say⊠except⊠youâre still coming in tho right â
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.
Hell Yeah, Unions FTW!

Rather than "we're short staffed tonight," maybe try "Hey, want to pick up a shift tonight?" The passive aggressive tone kills me lol
Nothing wrong with asking someone if they want to work, but you've gotta be ok if they say no when they're not scheduled
The reason the manager didnât do that is because this is a screenshot of a fake conversation.
Well, its real because I was the manager!
Dun-dun-duuuuunlunlunlunlun
I don't believe you, why isn't your username 'manager' then?
(stands on table) No, I was the manager.
Oh no, what happened to Buster?
He got blown up a few times, among other things. I don't think the original survived Mythbusters
I have had similar conversations with managers in the past, this may be staged but it's all too real.
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"
You know what's going to be asked next, so here's the response:
"Sorry homie, I've been drinking"
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
"If you need extra hire, a friend is looking for a job, I could get you in touch"
Actually used this once, and it wasn't a lie or stretching the truth
Good call, never lie to your boss. Crack open a cold one as soon as the first text comes in
Youre a manager. manage to get your ass in there
âïž downvoted by a manager apparently
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.
"Holy cow, well, good thing you're a manager! Manage it."
At work, I donât appreciate implications. It leads to mistakes and misunderstandings. Bad for business.
"Will no one rid me of this turbulent line cook?!"
The ⊠always gets me
Yep, the text is great, but that's the punchline.
It really bugs me that they spell good luck as a single word.
Lucky for me I'm too poor to have a phone number anymore!
we're short staffed
Sucks to be you. (Unless I really like you.)
