They have to gaslight the employee into thinking they're the problem and that they'll find the problem no matter where they go, so they should instead fix themselves.
Also ‘we are a million dollar company, let’s act like one’ yes! Let’s! Let’s pay our employees a liveable wage using that million dollars and provide them a safety net when they need to call out for emergencies like a million dollar company should!
Naaaah, sod off with quitting myself, I'll just do jack all while on clock, while waiting for them to fire me and pay my unemployment and benefits. And probs hit the handbook just to check what's the bare minimum I have to do just for that.
When I see things like this, I stop being insecure about my mistakes as a foreigner because I know there will always be a grown-up American with a job that is worse at their own language than me
lets be honest, 1million for a company is such a low-fucking bar. that's what I would expect to make if I opened a simple sandwhich shop for 75k. Im not even sure 1million could pay for any staff.
Right? "Let's act like one" You mean like giving employees time off in case of an emergency because you've got redundancy/backup plans? Sounds great, we'll figure that out right after we discuss the proper use of belittling notes and what basic grammar to ignore in them!
Yep, I’m guessing this is one of those small business bosses who feels like all his employees should be as invested as he is and accept his offer of $7.25 under the table
I got in a car accident driving home from work during a damn near hurricane. Big pine tree fell in the road just past the crest of a hill and I couldn’t see it to stop in time (dark, raining, foggy, and I was already going well under the speed limit). Police said if I was going any faster or not wearing my seatbelt, I would have possibly died. Car was wrecked. I called my boss to tell him and he asked if I was still planning to work the next day. And this was for a BILLION dollar company.
Also give your employees some sick days instead of forcing them to take vacation and hire enough people so that a few calling out doesn't become a crisis
Go into work deathly ill and highly contagious. Hell, buy the whole office donuts on your way in. Shake everyone's hands. Make sure you go everywhere and talk to everyone in the office. Especially your boss. All day.
The shop I work at has a couple dozen people and also a million dollar company... My boss says things like "you're sick? What are you doing here? Go home and get better. Work some overtime next week if you need to make up for it. Your boy is sick? Stay home, I hope he feels better."
A million dollars really aint much these days when youre talking about a business. And theyre acting like a broke ass company that hasnt planned for people being sick.
A million dollars isn't much for a company tbh. If you have a large enough staff that you communicate via notes like this, and don't just mention something in person, then being at a million dollars means you're pretty much bankrupt anyway.
Find another job immediately. There are plenty of jobs out in the world that don't treat you like slaves you are breathing your own air live your life better
A million dollar company should have enough employees that if one or two call out with true emergencies, there are enough staff scheduled that it won’t be an issue. If *your employees are held hostage by *your bad practices then *you’re not as successful as you think you are.
I assume they pay standard pay rates these days also. If you want people to work on holidays insensitive them. Pay and a half or double pay if not eat my ass
I work for an independent contractor employed by a billion dollar company and the owner gave us a pre-holiday and post-holiday bonus with the incentive to work every day scheduled. It’s fair and we don’t have call ins except in emergency situations. It works. I wish that we could get these bonuses quarterly at least for those of us who don’t miss work, but I’ll take what I can get. My company is amazing.
I’ve been a small employer for about 10 years now. My dad always told me to treat your employees like family because they’re the ones making you money. They’re willingly giving their time to you in exchange for money. They should be appreciated and commended for doing things well and not torn down when they make a mistake. You’re only as good as your help and your help is only as good as their training.
Million dollar company? , Exactly, act like one , millionaire companies have money for sick time , PTOs etc , finding coverage is not the employee job , it's the Manager's job , it's in their title MANAGEr .
Imagine that. Million dollar company cant afford to pay for management that even knows proper Grammer. What's up with them hiring drooling slackjaws for these positions of power
Want to be a billion dollar company? Try "child sick take them to the doctor and let us know how you made out tomorrow" if one cog in the wheel is broken the ship shouldn't sink.
"We are a million dollar company, lets act like one." A million dollar company and couldn't even afford a spellcheck, sheesh. No wonder your employees are unhappy.
“We’re a million dollar company” no, you’re a millionaire. Don’t pretend the employees are gonna have the same investment in the company when you treat and pay them like dirt
When did it become the employee’s responsibility to find someone to fill their shift and not the manager who is actually responsible for filling the schedule?
Just buy some medicine? Okay. Viruses don’t have a quick fix like many bacterial infections do with antibiotics. Fevers mean contagion. Goons. They likely don’t offer insurance so there goes more time/money to get to an urgent care and/or regular sick Dr visit to get a diagnosis.
Surge fare for an uber on Christmas eve, depending on distance, might cost about $30 total to go in and go home (never drive an uber, cannot confirm). Min wage ($7.25) for an 8 hour shift is about $56, not counting taxes and deductions.
Can I expense the Uber? Repeated car problems can cause the company to come down on you, but most states they are not allowed to discriminate against people with children, and if their shift is normally during school hours they need to have time off when school is closed
As an employee this sucks. As someone who has been in management, it's amazing how many people get sick on a payday that happens to land on a beautiful summer's day.
[удалено]
You’d think a million dollar company would have management staff that knew how to write too, yet here we are.
Then they wouldn't have a million dollars if they paid their employees :(
Hell, use an apostrophe in “you’re,” as well.
A million is very small time...
Companies need to start treating and seeing employees as the assets they are instead of liabilities that need to be crushed.
One more line which they've forgotten:
They also forgot a few apostrophes and letters. What million dollar company can’t spell?
Probably because they learned from the last few times companies said that and their staff quit the job like it was going out of style
They have to gaslight the employee into thinking they're the problem and that they'll find the problem no matter where they go, so they should instead fix themselves.
5 weeks laterrr
"Fine, I quit."
Also ‘we are a million dollar company, let’s act like one’ yes! Let’s! Let’s pay our employees a liveable wage using that million dollars and provide them a safety net when they need to call out for emergencies like a million dollar company should!
They misspelled you're.
Naaaah, sod off with quitting myself, I'll just do jack all while on clock, while waiting for them to fire me and pay my unemployment and benefits. And probs hit the handbook just to check what's the bare minimum I have to do just for that.
Not happy, work harder
A million dollar company that can't spell or use grammar correctly apparently.
A "million dollar company" that schedules people to work Saturdays and Sundays is almost always a minimum wage job.
A million dollar company is a very small company.
I WAS ELECTED TO LEAD, NOT TO READ.
If you're million dollar company, pay your employees like one
“One MILLION dollars!”
When I see things like this, I stop being insecure about my mistakes as a foreigner because I know there will always be a grown-up American with a job that is worse at their own language than me
500 thousand assholes that round up.
Your mean! ... I like it.
lets be honest, 1million for a company is such a low-fucking bar. that's what I would expect to make if I opened a simple sandwhich shop for 75k. Im not even sure 1million could pay for any staff.
A million dollar company, great. That means they can afford to lose an employee for the day while the tend to their sick kid.
Right? "Let's act like one" You mean like giving employees time off in case of an emergency because you've got redundancy/backup plans? Sounds great, we'll figure that out right after we discuss the proper use of belittling notes and what basic grammar to ignore in them!
If you need me that desperately you can pay me extra to cover my expenses for a change of my plans.
Can they though?
Imagine working for someone who not only would post this sign, but do so without knowing basic English.
Your right.
Million dollar company. Start treating your employees like they are worth something.
Now hold on there just a minute.
"We don't do that here" - Any Minimum Wage position
"Companies dont wanna PAY ANYMORE!"
Not happening in the U.S.
I hope EVERY employee called off during those times.
I hope everyone realized how fucked making people work on holidays to make the rich company more rich isn't worth working for.
This was in 2017, unless it is looking toward next December (per date/day of the week).
Better job available? Get one.
That's like, really easy
A million dollars is nothing
Like Dr Evil trying to get a million dollars when people had billions lol.
Yep, I’m guessing this is one of those small business bosses who feels like all his employees should be as invested as he is and accept his offer of $7.25 under the table
I got in a car accident driving home from work during a damn near hurricane.

"Buy some medicine."
My sick what?
Just your sick
No my sick!!
Get medicine for your sick
I’m so thankful for the color coded arrows.
I would just delete all the work ive done, change all my passwords, and just quit. There's always some else hiring.
That's the best idea but only if everyone does it at the same time, otherwise the cycle continues.
Million dollar company, eh? Here's some suggestions:
Also give your employees some sick days instead of forcing them to take vacation and hire enough people so that a few calling out doesn't become a crisis
Hahahah. As if these jobs offer any type of benefits and if they do they make sure to schedule just below the minimum average hours to disqualify you.
Go into work deathly ill and highly contagious. Hell, buy the whole office donuts on your way in. Shake everyone's hands. Make sure you go everywhere and talk to everyone in the office. Especially your boss. All day.
Employees quit because of your BS? Hire more.
I don't know. CAN you act like a million dollar company?
You just opened a flashback from 8th grade trying to ask my teacher if I could use the washroom.
- "Million dollar company"
Show me you’re a faceless, soulless corporation that doesn’t value its human employees without telling me….. you know the rest.
Gonna name and shame, just bc I know where this screenshot came from, but it's from a grocery chain called Food4Less which is now owned by Kroger.
Phew! A million dollars? How do they afford enough employees to necessitate a sign like this?
Pirated version of Microsoft Works v5.0
Encouraging employees to come in when they are sick is both counterproductive as well as irresponsible.
The shop I work at has a couple dozen people and also a million dollar company... My boss says things like "you're sick? What are you doing here? Go home and get better. Work some overtime next week if you need to make up for it. Your boy is sick? Stay home, I hope he feels better."
"We're a million-dollar company, let's act like one"
I work for a multi-BILLION dollar company and managers still spell this way.
Can’t spell, Get one!
No call offs accepted? Okay, I won't show up OR call in ahead of time then
A million dollars really aint much these days when youre talking about a business. And theyre acting like a broke ass company that hasnt planned for people being sick.
This should be a zero-dollar company because the owner didn’t factor humans into his/her business model.
“I was unable to find a babysitter, so I took your advice and will be babysitting my own kids today.”
If they’re a million dollar company, they should pay their employees enough so that babysitting, medicine, and/or Über is an option.
Million dollar company that can't afford a proofreader to weed out "your"
"Your" sick.
Maybe that million dollar company should find management that knows the difference between "your/you're".
Management is acting not like a million dollar company, just one on its way to bankruptcy.
A million dollars isn't much for a company tbh. If you have a large enough staff that you communicate via notes like this, and don't just mention something in person, then being at a million dollars means you're pretty much bankrupt anyway.
They gotta fix their grammar though.
This is hella toxic... I wouldn't wanna work for a company like this.
Million dollar company lets act like one… ok how about increased wages since you have so much money
Tell me you work for a crap company without saying you work for a crap company . . .
Million-dollar company and can't even get their grammar straight.
"your sick, buy some medicine"
Your not gonna tel me wat 2 do til you lern how 2 spel
And that is how you go from having a work force to now hiring
You are a million dollar company, so please learn the difference between your and you're, thanks.
You are a million dollar company but you can spell "your" correctly.
It’s *you’re, million dollar company.
A million dollar company that can’t even do basic grammar
We are a million dollar company but don’t know the difference between your and you’re.
We are a million dollar company. Let's use correct grammar like one.
Find another job immediately. There are plenty of jobs out in the world that don't treat you like slaves you are breathing your own air live your life better
“Hey Million Dollar Company, it’s ‘You’re’…”
A million dollar company should have enough employees that if one or two call out with true emergencies, there are enough staff scheduled that it won’t be an issue. If *your employees are held hostage by *your bad practices then *you’re not as successful as you think you are.
Million dollar company? Sounds like they're broke.
These are getting painfully fake
The grammar isn’t even right here
"WE are a million dollar company"...
I’d like to buy some apostrophes
You would think a million dollar company could afford statutory sick pay...
Wow a whole million dollars in one company
My sick?
Ohhhh, hostile AND stupid...not a good combo.
Kroger, is that you?
I assume they pay standard pay rates these days also. If you want people to work on holidays insensitive them. Pay and a half or double pay if not eat my ass
I work for an independent contractor employed by a billion dollar company and the owner gave us a pre-holiday and post-holiday bonus with the incentive to work every day scheduled.

So the company can afford everyones' babysitter's, medicine/child healthcare, ubers? You're a million dollar company, act like one!
Multimillion dollar company can’t even hire someone who knows how to use punctuation or “your” correctly…
Is this million dollar company paying for health care, child care, and wages high enough to afford reliable transportation?
I’ve been a small employer for about 10 years now. My dad always told me to treat your employees like family because they’re the ones making you money. They’re willingly giving their time to you in exchange for money. They should be appreciated and commended for doing things well and not torn down when they make a mistake. You’re only as good as your help and your help is only as good as their training.
This was at a Starbucks local to me. Manager was fired
Million dollar companies go out of business everyday. It’s not much of a benchmark.
Million dollar companies give unlimited PTO to their full time employees.
Million dollar company? , Exactly, act like one , millionaire companies have money for sick time , PTOs etc , finding coverage is not the employee job , it's the Manager's job , it's in their title MANAGEr .
Imagine that. Million dollar company cant afford to pay for management that even knows proper Grammer. What's up with them hiring drooling slackjaws for these positions of power
lmao million dollar company that cant afford to let employees take time off to spend with their families.
“We are a million dollar company, let’s act like one” Your employees are not a million dollar company. You are. You act like one.
antiwork
What company Is this so I don't apply 🤣
-Dead? Be alive 🙄
That's where every employee calls out on both days
I work for a multibillion dollar company, and they don’t treat us like that so maybe this company needs to take notes.
Ok so then you can afford it and have enough staff. Ok byeeeeeeeeeeee
A million dollar company? That’s not as impressive as it used to be, Austin Powers.
I'd specifically call out on those days if I saw that sign
ProofreadingIsHard
Gas stations are “million dollar companies”
antiwork
Oh you’re acting like a million dollar company all right
How about you proofread before telling me how to act like a professional?
This is terrible of a company and not empathetic at all, but I can guarantee it comes from present and past employees abusing the system.
“I’m a minimum wage employee and I’m going to act like it” is the best response
Want to be a billion dollar company? Try "child sick take them to the doctor and let us know how you made out tomorrow" if one cog in the wheel is broken the ship shouldn't sink.
"We are a million dollar company, lets act like one." A million dollar company and couldn't even afford a spellcheck, sheesh. No wonder your employees are unhappy.
“You’re a million dollar company, how about you pay us like one.”
Homeless, buy a house
Can't spell? Look it up: You're v. Your.
Million dollar company not knowing the difference between your and you’re
“We’re a million dollar company” no, you’re a millionaire. Don’t pretend the employees are gonna have the same investment in the company when you treat and pay them like dirt
My sick? Sorry, I don't have one.
You're a million dollar company, pay like one.
I will buy medicine but instead of medicine it is (meth)ecine and instead of for my child it is for me
We're a million dollar company, so let's act like a struggling company who has to work it's employees to the bone to stay afloat
Million dollar company. Five dollar grammar.
When did it become the employee’s responsibility to find someone to fill their shift and not the manager who is actually responsible for filling the schedule?
If you don't want me to call before I don't come in, okay.
It’s not unusual for no call offs before holidays because a lot will call off and they won’t have enough staff.
You’d figure that a million dollar company would have managers that know basic grammar.
*you’re *let’s
"We are a million dollar company..." "Your sick"
Definitely not a million dollar company, they would have better letterhead...
Definitely acting like a "mIlLiOn DoLlAr CoMpAnY".
I wish I had magic medicine that could instantly cure any sickness.
My sick?
I feel like a million dollars is not a very large threshold for companies these days, from experience.
“We’re a million dollar company, but we can’t afford to give PTO or personal days.”
Just buy some medicine? Okay. Viruses don’t have a quick fix like many bacterial infections do with antibiotics. Fevers mean contagion. Goons. They likely don’t offer insurance so there goes more time/money to get to an urgent care and/or regular sick Dr visit to get a diagnosis.
You’re*
Million dollar company done hired someone with a two-bit education.
You’re*
A million dollar company wouldn't act like this. This is some second rate call center
We are a million dollar company and we still can’t figure out spell check?
Million dollar company is pretty small.
They didn’t even use the right “you’re”
If you are a million dollar company you can afford to have employees to cover when some needs off for any reasons.
If you’re a million dollar company you wanna go ahead and buy that medicine for me?
As a million dollar company "YOU'RE"
For a “million dollar company” they really could use better proofreaders for their pathetic office notices
Die? Come back as a zombie!
No naming and shaming?
My god, you'd think a "million dollar company" would know the difference between "your" and "you're". How embarrassing.
A million dollar business is basically a Burger King. It costs around $2.5M to buy a Mcdonalds franchise.
Surge fare for an uber on Christmas eve, depending on distance, might cost about $30 total to go in and go home (never drive an uber, cannot confirm). Min wage ($7.25) for an 8 hour shift is about $56, not counting taxes and deductions.
A million dollar company should be able to afford spell check.
Annnnd that’s a fine for a business owner.
This has to be illegal
Lol. Call Uber. It might cost them more to go to work.
They're a million dollar company, they can afford it.
This is how you lose employees. There is no way my job comes before my children.
"We are a million dollar company, let's act like one"
I’m glad the arrows are here, I would’ve been lost without them
No baby sitter? Take PTO,
Can I expense the Uber? Repeated car problems can cause the company to come down on you, but most states they are not allowed to discriminate against people with children, and if their shift is normally during school hours they need to have time off when school is closed
"We're a million dollar company. Let's get paid like it."
As an employee this sucks. As someone who has been in management, it's amazing how many people get sick on a payday that happens to land on a beautiful summer's day.
If you’re a million dollar company, maybe you could spell like one.
If they're a million dollar company why don't they act like one and employ more staff?
*you’re
A million dollar company and they can’t function with people taking a day off?
