Why didn't you do the same? I would have.
Us workers need to have some solidarity for each other otherwise employers will take advantage.
At the end of the day we are all but numbers in some assholes spreadsheet, they would reduce the numbers in a heartbeat. It business. The sooner you understand that the easier it will get.
Because it wasn't some million dollar corporation exploiting employees. Some jobs actually have decent employers and I knew all it would do is make work harder for my coworkers. Personally I view it as a dick move to do.
It was a non profit animal sanctuary so not only do the workers get shafted the animals the guy was supposed to care for also got shafted.
Not every employer is bent on exploiting employees, but when employees treat every employer as if they are it makes it harder for the good ones to provide decent working conditions.
Employees can absolutely take advantage of employers and I think its silly that people think all employers all evil and all employees are innocent victims that should exploit everything.
Because your coworkers have to work harder in your absence? Stop being such a selfish prick.
I am sorry I don't understand the logic here, the employer not hiring enough people and then making the workers feel bad for taking time off is the actual selfish behavior here.
Even a fully staffed property isn't going to have people that just sit around and wait for shifts to fill.
Someone will have to cover your missed shifts or work harder in your absence. If you're sick, call in sick. But don't just randomly call in because you want another day off. Schedule it in advance.
