He’s not talking about a 6-day workweek for himself.
Makes my slapping hand tingle.
Your friend needs to read Good to Great by Jim Collins, and reassess.
Here’s hoping a large percentage of his employees tell him to pound sand…and then walk
I love these people because they are so adamant that working more will help them while every single study shows that people are way more productive when they have rest time. A 4-day work week would shoot his company’s productivity up and actually save money on things like electricity but he’s so far up his own ass that he cannot possibly understand how that could work.
I do think that the commentor who said he must not have anything outside of work has a point. Like, who on earth is has such a shit life outside of work that they can brainwash themselves into believing that more work is a solution?
Your friend is a complete idiot, an astounding failure of a human being and even as an emotionless machine.
He literally shares the same goals as cancer
And this ballsack scab is still someone you refer to as “friend”?
Ha tell him the internet says good luck, hope he likes the taste of lead?
Ninja Edit: not a threat, just seems like someone who enjoys eating lead. Lead paints, lead fumes, other lead sources. Lead damages the body and mind in all manner of ways.
- Lead paints
- Lead fumes
- Other lead sources
(You forgot to use bullet points.)
Ayyyy
Your friend needs to realize that no matter how much they want employees to work extra hard, they will not do it because they do not have incentive. No matter how hard they work, they will not benefit in the long term like he will.
Bust my ass six days a week to make HIM wealthy? No. And fuck you.
That is the difference.
I think they know this and their game is to intimidate people into accepting that
I would quit on the 6th day. I’d show up to my shift for 5 and then not be there on 6. I guess I’d do that until I got fired, but I would never be there on the 6th day.
“A % of the overtime rate”… So not the whole overtime rate… For overtime work?
I’m guessing his employees are salaried and throwing them a fraction of what they’d be due if hourly is how he assuages whatever he has left of a conscience.
Let him do this six days alone. Just move elsewhere.
Someone’s been reading too many LinkedIn posts
Time to debate how many layers the OSI model has
Has he considered 7 day work weeks, with sleeping quarters for the workforce to stay on the premises. And armed guards to prevent them from escaping?
shush!!! google indexes Lemmy too!
Oh and they can open up a store that sells basics like bread and water. And a Laundromat on site, so they dont have to go home. Oh and you can just pay them company credits instead of actual currency, in order to really maximize those profits.
And if they don’t have to pay for homes outside the company you can reduce the salary and charge them for rent.
Don’t be silly. They don’t need their clothes washed. They will pay for new company provided uniforms.
Suicide nets.
Tell him the best employees will quit. The rest will be too burnt out to actually do anything truly productive.
Don’t tell him shit, The Market™️ will sort it out and he’ll be in for a fun surprise when all his best talent flees to a rival company
Gotta make that Q3 line go up somehow
