They have done actual studies on companies and workplace culture. A large/small corporation who looks after their employees and cares about them and provides for them makes up their “profit margins” from “overpaying” their employees by not having nearly as many lawsuits or needing to train more employees due to turnover. This isn’t even controversial yet companies refuse to use this data to their advantage.
I used to work for a large American corporation in the EU. They paid almost 30% more than any competition, nearby, gave crazy hiring bonuses, but had insane fluctuation and couldn't find people to work for them. Seriously, people only stayed 6 months to get the full hiring bonus and then left. Hiring manager from another company asked me why does everyone leave, they talk about it among hiring managers everywhere, have crazy theories, but nobody knows why workers hate that particular company. Well the company culture resembles something between a prison and last days of decadent absolute monarchy. Most of time and effort is wasted on infighting and inner company politics. In my current job I actually try to be effective and productive worker as it is appreciated and makes me feel good about myself. In that previous job that would be impossible as everyone had a "fuck that I hate it" approach. Except for the management which had the "we are the lord, you are the filthy peasants, not really humans" approach.
@@petrmaly9087amn, that sounds like literally every place I’ve worked here in the good ole American South, minus the good pay and bonus of course.

This is so true. Pay more, produce more, train fewer newbies, grow employees who stay long enough to become invested in the company's bottom line, and everyone wins.
And yet, every single place I've worked with the exception of my dad's old business, was usually exactly the opposite to some degree or another. The amount of seething disrespect that most places show for actual dedicated employees is unreal. They'd rather be forced by necessity to hire someone new off the streets and end up having to pay them more, than to give someone who has been there through all the BS, a fair shake. Then they will waste money on absolutely useless and insulting gifts that nobody even wants or appreciates and act like they are doing you a favor. The last place I worked, we had a mass walkout in my department, because management simply refused to give everyone a fair raise. They'd been stuck in an old pay scale for so long that they became the worst paying hospital by far in about 150 miles.

We put up with making do with a skeleton crew for 3 years and an endless stream of new employees who had washed out of other places and couldn't cut it or soon found out the place was hopeless and left. All we asked for was was for them to raise the base pay scale to what other hospitals were paying and then adjust for each employee based on tenure with the company with the annual 2 percent raises we generally always had received. They came back and insulted us by offering us all what amounted to new entry level wages, plus a dollar...for everybody. They took something that was already bad and unfair and made it even worse, so everyone walked except the manager (who later got fired), one person who was nearing retirement and was afraid to leave, and one of the new employees who couldn't get a job anywhere else because she had an alcohol problem. The other new employee we had at the time, never even bothered to come back to work after he found out we were all leaving. That particular place now has to pay it's entry level employees more than what we asked for. The sheer stupidity of corporate places that call themselves businesses, is often mind boggling to me, having grown up with a father who was a successful businessman, who had his fingers in 3 different businesses and still managed to be a fair boss that was liked by his employees.

Take away 30 to 40 hours of overtime pay and replace that with a 10 dollar an hour raise? Sounds like a money saver actually. If they are making 22 an hour at time and a half they are making 33 dollars an hour for their 40 extra hours a week. Cut that out and replace it with 32 dollars an hour straight pay and you're saving a lot. Smartest business proposal for the company and the employees.
40+ is time and half, 60+ is double time. If those guys are working 80 hours, those are some phat checks. But yeah, it means nothing if they cant enjoy it.
@@emachine310 What country pays double time at 60+ hours? Here in the US many employers are not even paying holiday pay nor do you even get the holiday off. Although my current employer gives me Christmas new years and Thanksgiving days off but you have to make up for it by working one of your days you would have been normally scheduled off. So technically you do not get a day off your just rescheduled.
Management: we don't need to hire more employees. We'll just make our current ones work 80+ hours. We saving money. Reality: if 1 employee earns $20 an hour. And overtime is $30 an hour at time and a half. You could hire 2 employees at $25 an hour who each work 40 hours for the same money against the budget and they will be more productive from not being completely exhausted/burned-out all the time, make fewer mistakes/workplace accidents, and company will have less turning over.
The company I'm at pay yard jockies and route drivers the same. But yard jockies have a much more stressful job then they wonder why nobody wants to stay at the more stressful position.
Yeah, but your investors don't understand this. You get bonus' for not paying overtime and for hiring less workers while making the current workers do more and in the end, your investors get more money because they think you're saving all sorts of money. That's how it works now.
Fuckin A. If I know we’re going to do 70hrs or whatever I’m not rushing for anything. It’s done when it’s done. You’re not offering me the chance to finish up early and get paid more for producing more, if I can work slow and then get thrown overtime at me I’ll take it all day long. Oh we have to do 25hrs overtime? Damn, I guess all these 5hr jobs now take 7, I’m fucking tired, you’re making me work more, sure as hell I’m not working any faster if I still don’t get to go home on time.
Increase in rate of pay would also decrease your worker turnover because they will want to stay...morale can save a company but not one that is just there for profits instead of quality of product....
management never has a clue just what employee morale does for productivity and profit. The better your employees are treated the better your team will perform. Bosses that understand this and actually are able to make it happen are very few and far between.
They definetly understand. But the fear of losing money due to such a measure prevents action. There's no way they don't understand a higher wage increases morale and productivity. They just don't want to rock boat and risk losing any $
Except instead of being a societal thing in Japan where it is possible to have changes in such an instance…..it’s a greed thing here in the US which means removing ALOT of power these assholes are doing to make any form of change.
I don't think the majority gen z or millennials are gonna be like their parents and work 60 to 80 hours a week. Not that they're lazy, it's not seeing any hope for owning a home someday and they were born into a broken society.
Hmm 90 a week with overtime is like 2530, biweekly would be 5060. While 50 a week with no overtime is like 1650 with 3300 biweekly. Seems like a legit way to save on cash. I guess depending on sales and the market a argument can be made both ways. I love thinking about this stuff 😅
When he said at least know their family. I felt that! As a guy who is a delivery driver for a company like this who leaves his home at 6:30am and gets back home at 9pm. I certainly don’t get much time until the weekend. Im even taking my vacation in September out of the country without any of them. So yeah working less might help with home.
I worked for a delivery company for 7 years (men in brown).... left them and switched careers to computers. Now earning lots more money and working from home.
Lost me on the guy under the table, I know comedy is comedy but that’s more crude than funny, now if you’ll excuse me I’ve got a manager meeting to go to and it’s my turn in “the box”.
My company is a large corporation. We had a high turnover rate for the longest time. This is because they were telling us we were a designated 6-day work week facility. Our GM at our plant saw the issues and asked our CEO if he could manage it differently and do it the way he wanted. He polled all 3 shifts and gave 3 different schedules. We all voted, and now we work 6 days a week every other week, and there is still a vollentary day on the weeks we have the 6th day off. Now, our retention is up, and morals are up, and production is up.

You give em 4, 10 hour shifts and at least a raise to anyone under living wage to living wage, and keep overtime on the table. Much less of them will use the over time, you will end up paying far less to the employee's over all in the long run, and you will see a 40% increase in productivity, as proven by Microsoft in japan. The employee's are not killin ya with overtime, you are.
an 80 hour workweek makes me take a 40 hour job and make it last 80 hours. treat me like a rented mule, and I'm going to act like one. morale is important. they just can't quantify it with a number on a spreadsheet. that's why they don't care about it.
Whats bad is when you work so many hours you have enough money to pay the bills but you don't have time to fill out the checks to pay them. When you have to remind your employer that you have to have a few hours between shifts to get sleep makes you choose if you get sleep or fill out the bills. At this rate you don't have time to purchase groceries. Fortunately this is not my current employer.
Having moved to a position in the office at the beginning of July this is too true 🤦. Even talking about getting the guys less water. This coming from a electrical utility contractor.
Always love the argument, "the company won't make money if we pay them more"... at the same time nearly every management meeting is about paying the managers more and giving them more bonuses.
Lol I like the managers comment about getting there when you can. Ok for management to be late for everything but heaven forbid the workers are 5 minutes late, fire emif that happens!
A company I use to work for would offer a monthly bonus to the employee that worked the most overtime. Some old dude worked so much OT that they capped the OT and said you can only work a maximum of 84 hours a week. They had to pay the dude 10g as a monthly bonus (it was a ridiculous number of hours that was nearly impossible). The next highest reward was $500. So it was a gag because no one could actually do it.The CEO always gives out the checks in a monthly meeting so he took one look at the guy ended the meeting immediately and had someone bring the guy to the hospital. They paid for that too. The old guy didn't come back to work for a month because he had a heart attack. They paid his time off as well. And his picture is hanging up on a wall next to all the past CEOs. It was a great company until the owner sold it, everyone was replaced and the culture changed.
my last job in a warehouse always seemed like this. Managers who tried to make a difference either get beaten down by senior managers or "quit" of their own accord after being promoted. Managers hired from the outside tend to get treated even worse off. Honestly, one day I just walked out cuz of the stress the job gave me for the pay i was getting. My shift was 3pm-11:30 (I enjoy the mid shift) but more often than not, managers ignored issues that would be brought up. People say "this is about to break" they ignore us, then the thing breaks and they are all gaping their mouth like a fish yelling "oh fuck" while our system is down for 3+ hours. Some days 1st should got to go home early and 2nd shift is left to clean up. There was a period of time for 3 weeks, I worked from 3pm-3am, didnt see my family at all. My mother, grandmother, and sister were missing me and ofc I missed them. I'd wake up at like 12pm cuz I'd sleep so hard due to exhaustion. 2nd shift had to have HR fix so many things cuz so many things were being ignored and HR made managers fix things. Hell, there were safety hazards people would point out like lights not working that didnt get fixed until someone fell down those stairs. One time I fell down stairs I couldnt see and the day after I reported injury, the lights were magically replaced. Higher ups are always useless, even the ones promoted up
@StotterChannel makes sense then. The horror stories from second and third shift of having to clean up after the people behind them combined with seeing first shift just leave no matter how bad the situation was the second their time was up convinced me personally.
@@myhandlewastakenandIgaveup our second shift ALWAYS picked up the lack of 1st. 1st said we were slow while we were stuck being down a couple people to toss trash out and sweep the floors. The 1st shift bosses would call overtime for first shift and more often than not they would either leave on time or early and not do the OT. Somehow it was cheaper for 2nd to get OT than it was for 1st to get OT. 2nd shift got paid a dollar more than 1st
I swear my company just had this meeting. They cut overtime for everyone, and I was living paycheck to paycheck working 5 12s. They now expect me to just accept 5 8s and be good without a pay raise? Nah, they messed up. I work for them because of convenience to me. I have a CDL and can be more than a yard jockey, so I'll be gone here soon enough. If i don't hear good news from the local job this week, I'll go back to OTR. I don't want to, but at least they will pay.
I worked at a hospital. We were begged to work overtime, and then every monthly meeting, they complained about our department being over budget. We were short 3 full-time, and 2 part-time employees. It makes you wonder how a lot of folks like this ever got management positions.
Absolute gem on the topic of ignoring the value of employee morality of being compensated for one's hard work! However that whole ignore everything under the table situation is the rolling laugher of all the craziness of the discussion! Yea! Hahahahaha! O:-)
Henry Ford once got sued by shareholders because he wanted to increase wages for his workers after making a ton of profit. Courts ruled in the favor of the shareholders. AMERICA
When my company hires a new person and I meet them for the first time, the first thing I tell them is "your about to learn real quick that common sense doesn't fly around here"...
I don’t care how much money you make overtime is needed mark if your company don’t offer overtime find a job that does. Even at $30 an hour I still couldn’t pay my bills and I needed 70 hours minimum just to pay bills. At my last job, there would be guys who absolutely refused a pay raise because they told them that their pay raise was based on them not working overtime, and the employee would rather work overtime and get a pay raise.
EXACTLY why I just left my job of 7 years, two weeks ago. It’s not enough and I didn’t even make $30 an hour. I had the same argument even at $30 an hour that’s $1,200 a week but mortgage / rent, EVERYTHING is at an all time high. You need the overtime to stack money on the side. That’s where you really get a check from.
MANY companies CAN reduce overtime of their skilled workers by hiring more regular non-skilled or limited skill workers to do some of the tasks that the skilled workers don't really need to be doing. ..so that helps by reducing the skilled worker's hours so they can see their family, AND gives employment to those less-skilled workers to add value/ paycheck/ benefits AND experience on-the-job into that worker's life which could identify potential folks that might be added to your skilled workers group. Win-Win-Win
I’m a supervisor and I get pressure to cut my teams overtime from management but their wage is low for the work they do and we cover 20 hours a day six days a week. They work too many hours but I balance it with rotating heavy/light work. I myself need to work 10 hours of overtime a week to average at the wage I need to be paid. This video hits on the fucking money.
At least no one suggested to hire on 2 additional shifts so everyone gets moved to part time and no longer qualifies for any benefits and the company only has to pay minimum wage for everybody not in management.
Highest productivity for workers is only 15 hours each week. After the first 3 hours of each day, the average worker starts to fill work-time with non-work activities and productivity goes to shit. The way to maximize productivity is to hire as many people as possible and work them for as few hours as possible.
That is probably true for very few office workers, most jobs require to be highly productive for much longer time. Look at your nearest bartender for example.
Employee morale/rest can mean less turnover which means you spend less onboarding and getting behind on work because you get a bad rep with the workforce. More employee rest means less workplace accidents and better production. And less calling out sick because less stress and work mean better overall health. They do customer surveys, maybe employee surveys should be a thing. "On a scale of 1-5 how likely are you to keep your job if we increase your hours? 1 - 'I'd quit on the spot!' 5 - 'I love to work!'" See how many people say what. As a company, your workers are your strength. If you're not taking care of them, you're not taking care of your company.
The company I work for pays very well we have unlimited access to bottled water and Gatorade and watermelon slices and bananas it’s 105-130 in the summer and I love it
This sure as hell isn't retail. The answer for retail is always send all the hourly home, because you're on salary and have been working for free since Thursday.

Increase in rate of pay would also decrease your worker turnover because they will want to stay...morale can save a company but not one that is just there for profits instead of quality of product....
management never has a clue just what employee morale does for productivity and profit. The better your employees are treated the better your team will perform. Bosses that understand this and actually are able to make it happen are very few and far between.
They definetly understand. But the fear of losing money due to such a measure prevents action. There's no way they don't understand a higher wage increases morale and productivity. They just don't want to rock boat and risk losing any $
Karōshi is a real thing. A Japanese word for death by overwork.
Except instead of being a societal thing in Japan where it is possible to have changes in such an instance…..it’s a greed thing here in the US which means removing ALOT of power these assholes are doing to make any form of change.
I don't think the majority gen z or millennials are gonna be like their parents and work 60 to 80 hours a week. Not that they're lazy, it's not seeing any hope for owning a home someday and they were born into a broken society.
Yes😊
Hmm 90 a week with overtime is like 2530, biweekly would be 5060. While 50 a week with no overtime is like 1650 with 3300 biweekly. Seems like a legit way to save on cash. I guess depending on sales and the market a argument can be made both ways. I love thinking about this stuff 😅
This is more productive than any meeting I've ever been in.
Less productive than a fairly paid worker doing 40 hour weeks.
Then they wonder why they keep losing half their work force everytime McDonalds offers more money
When he said at least know their family. I felt that! As a guy who is a delivery driver for a company like this who leaves his home at 6:30am and gets back home at 9pm. I certainly don’t get much time until the weekend. Im even taking my vacation in September out of the country without any of them. So yeah working less might help with home.
Put your damn hand down, yours don't count... leave that common sense degree outside of work!
why go on vacation without them?
I worked for a delivery company for 7 years (men in brown).... left them and switched careers to computers. Now earning lots more money and working from home.
It seems like it's management's worst nightmare to pay more.
Cut over time and work them less pay them more? If only
How much blue collar work can one man possibly do? This man has had more experiences than I could ever imagine. Bless you sir.
You continue to get better at performing. Great flick.
Lost me on the guy under the table, I know comedy is comedy but that’s more crude than funny, now if you’ll excuse me I’ve got a manager meeting to go to and it’s my turn in “the box”.
My company is a large corporation. We had a high turnover rate for the longest time. This is because they were telling us we were a designated 6-day work week facility. Our GM at our plant saw the issues and asked our CEO if he could manage it differently and do it the way he wanted. He polled all 3 shifts and gave 3 different schedules. We all voted, and now we work 6 days a week every other week, and there is still a vollentary day on the weeks we have the 6th day off. Now, our retention is up, and morals are up, and production is up.
These are great!!! Can't wait to see this channel blow up, also bring back bosses nephew and curl!!!
- Mistur Unkel Berry, Mistur Unkel Berry! It was Curl who said in the co-ments that da series is no good n dats why-e wee on high-eetus shieet cuh, I'm telling you Mistuh Unkel Berry, I was trying to live stream it everyday but Cuuurl...
- Carl 🤨 I'm honestly disappointed with you 🤨 I guess I have to write you up again this month 🤨
- But wait, why, WHAT?! I can't fahking believe any of this anymore, is this even real life?
- Shieeeet Curl, you gettin a write up ah-geeeen? Shieet I feel for you my frien, lets go together to da HR an we'll figure something out together you feel me?
(Hahah shieet cuh, once Curl loses his job Shee-luh will leave his punk-a*s beech-a*s... 😏 Curl is a beech Cu-Curl is a beech, Curl is a beech Cu-Curl is a be-)
No, just no. Those are without a doubt the worst skits.
CURL IS A BITCH! NEEDS TO HIT #1 ON THE BILLBOARD CHARTS.
You give em 4, 10 hour shifts and at least a raise to anyone under living wage to living wage, and keep overtime on the table. Much less of them will use the over time, you will end up paying far less to the employee's over all in the long run, and you will see a 40% increase in productivity, as proven by Microsoft in japan. The employee's are not killin ya with overtime, you are.
My favorite part is always "cut over time to save money, so we can waste more money on our big bonuses".
This hits a little too close to home 😂 fantastic work brother and excellent quality editing.
an 80 hour workweek makes me take a 40 hour job and make it last 80 hours. treat me like a rented mule, and I'm going to act like one.
morale is important. they just can't quantify it with a number on a spreadsheet. that's why they don't care about it.
Whats bad is when you work so many hours you have enough money to pay the bills but you don't have time to fill out the checks to pay them. When you have to remind your employer that you have to have a few hours between shifts to get sleep makes you choose if you get sleep or fill out the bills. At this rate you don't have time to purchase groceries. Fortunately this is not my current employer.
Cut overtime pay em more work em less 😂😂😂! Sounds good to me
Honestly surprised you didn’t throw white powder on the laptop for the big boss man 😂
I’ve been saying this for so long now. Companies forget how much silly things like morale affect their bottom line.
Having moved to a position in the office at the beginning of July this is too true 🤦. Even talking about getting the guys less water. This coming from a electrical utility contractor.
Always love the argument, "the company won't make money if we pay them more"... at the same time nearly every management meeting is about paying the managers more and giving them more bonuses.
Lol I like the managers comment about getting there when you can. Ok for management to be late for everything but heaven forbid the workers are 5 minutes late, fire emif that happens!
The don't look under the table but was so brutally on point....
I feel like u r going to be a star at some point man and as far as comedy goes u could be the next bill burr a better southern bill burr. Lol.
A company I use to work for would offer a monthly bonus to the employee that worked the most overtime. Some old dude worked so much OT that they capped the OT and said you can only work a maximum of 84 hours a week. They had to pay the dude 10g as a monthly bonus (it was a ridiculous number of hours that was nearly impossible). The next highest reward was $500. So it was a gag because no one could actually do it.The CEO always gives out the checks in a monthly meeting so he took one look at the guy ended the meeting immediately and had someone bring the guy to the hospital. They paid for that too. The old guy didn't come back to work for a month because he had a heart attack. They paid his time off as well. And his picture is hanging up on a wall next to all the past CEOs. It was a great company until the owner sold it, everyone was replaced and the culture changed.
Holy shit 😂 I know this is a joke, but I've been in meetings just like this. Minus the felacio.
or maybe you just didnt look under the table. LUL
Me too 😂
@@emachine310 I was yelled at to not look under the table.
Fantastic video, I like the format change, and hopefully we get to see more like this one. Thank you
At least they know their family, sounds so real 😮 because today people don't know their kids because they work more than they live
my last job in a warehouse always seemed like this. Managers who tried to make a difference either get beaten down by senior managers or "quit" of their own accord after being promoted. Managers hired from the outside tend to get treated even worse off. Honestly, one day I just walked out cuz of the stress the job gave me for the pay i was getting. My shift was 3pm-11:30 (I enjoy the mid shift) but more often than not, managers ignored issues that would be brought up. People say "this is about to break" they ignore us, then the thing breaks and they are all gaping their mouth like a fish yelling "oh fuck" while our system is down for 3+ hours. Some days 1st should got to go home early and 2nd shift is left to clean up. There was a period of time for 3 weeks, I worked from 3pm-3am, didnt see my family at all. My mother, grandmother, and sister were missing me and ofc I missed them. I'd wake up at like 12pm cuz I'd sleep so hard due to exhaustion. 2nd shift had to have HR fix so many things cuz so many things were being ignored and HR made managers fix things. Hell, there were safety hazards people would point out like lights not working that didnt get fixed until someone fell down those stairs. One time I fell down stairs I couldnt see and the day after I reported injury, the lights were magically replaced. Higher ups are always useless, even the ones promoted up
Any place I have seen with a first shift has made me realize first shift is the only one you want to work. Third shift on the other hand was fucked.
@@myhandlewastakenandIgaveup quite the contrary here. People wete actively trying to go into 3rd cuz the work was essier
@StotterChannel makes sense then. The horror stories from second and third shift of having to clean up after the people behind them combined with seeing first shift just leave no matter how bad the situation was the second their time was up convinced me personally.
@@myhandlewastakenandIgaveup our second shift ALWAYS picked up the lack of 1st. 1st said we were slow while we were stuck being down a couple people to toss trash out and sweep the floors. The 1st shift bosses would call overtime for first shift and more often than not they would either leave on time or early and not do the OT. Somehow it was cheaper for 2nd to get OT than it was for 1st to get OT. 2nd shift got paid a dollar more than 1st
I swear my company just had this meeting. They cut overtime for everyone, and I was living paycheck to paycheck working 5 12s. They now expect me to just accept 5 8s and be good without a pay raise? Nah, they messed up. I work for them because of convenience to me. I have a CDL and can be more than a yard jockey, so I'll be gone here soon enough. If i don't hear good news from the local job this week, I'll go back to OTR. I don't want to, but at least they will pay.
3:25 hel most of the younger guys don't even have a family they say they cant afford one.
I worked at a hospital. We were begged to work overtime, and then every monthly meeting, they complained about our department being over budget. We were short 3 full-time, and 2 part-time employees. It makes you wonder how a lot of folks like this ever got management positions.
guy under the table is working hard for a raise
I thought there was a toilet under the table at first xD
You know, cause "the shit that goes on under the table".
Absolute gem on the topic of ignoring the value of employee morality of being compensated for one's hard work! However that whole ignore everything under the table situation is the rolling laugher of all the craziness of the discussion! Yea! Hahahahaha! O:-)
Keep doing your thing brother, funny content
na they should do a 105 hours a week got to give 105% effort. lol
Common sense manager should start a competing company and poach the best workers.
This is a masterpiece!
I can not stop watching this skit 😂
Henry Ford once got sued by shareholders because he wanted to increase wages for his workers after making a ton of profit.
Courts ruled in the favor of the shareholders. AMERICA
When my company hires a new person and I meet them for the first time, the first thing I tell them is "your about to learn real quick that common sense doesn't fly around here"...
Those whiskers must tickle and poke.
We know what kind of party's going on under that table 🤭🤭🤭
the more I see your videos the more I start singing "Solidarity Forever"
I don’t care how much money you make overtime is needed mark if your company don’t offer overtime find a job that does. Even at $30 an hour I still couldn’t pay my bills and I needed 70 hours minimum just to pay bills. At my last job, there would be guys who absolutely refused a pay raise because they told them that their pay raise was based on them not working overtime, and the employee would rather work overtime and get a pay raise.
EXACTLY why I just left my job of 7 years, two weeks ago. It’s not enough and I didn’t even make $30 an hour. I had the same argument even at $30 an hour that’s $1,200 a week but mortgage / rent, EVERYTHING is at an all time high. You need the overtime to stack money on the side. That’s where you really get a check from.
I swear that one guy was having a heart attack.
And then they wonder why they're short staffed
There was a floor employee that worked his way up to supervisor at my last job, and that sorry bastard joined the darkside with quickness.
This really happens at the upper management table LMAO.
Only watch a few minutes got Pissed.. stop watching. Been at those co.'s ain't going back..don't wanna relive..lol😂
Next meeting: "hey i wonder why our profits dropped"
I can't wait to sit on meetings next month...
This is actually Ups right now, which is why if we don’t get a good contract by the first we’re going on strike
Working over 40 hours = diminishing returns.
This is so freaking accurate
You sir have worked in the same places I have!
I got into management and tried to make a difference and help boost moral and my boss would always cut it down. So I quit
What company did you work at with dudes blowing each other undee the table😂
Ah meeting of the mindless 😂 top notch king of content 😂
Over the freaking top Marshall!!!!
This reminds me of tri-city electrical contractor 😂
Sounds about right to me.😢😅
MANY companies CAN reduce overtime of their skilled workers by hiring more regular non-skilled or limited skill workers to do some of the tasks that the skilled workers don't really need to be doing. ..so that helps by reducing the skilled worker's hours so they can see their family, AND gives employment to those less-skilled workers to add value/ paycheck/ benefits AND experience on-the-job into that worker's life which could identify potential folks that might be added to your skilled workers group. Win-Win-Win
This wasn’t a skit, this was someone who accidentally had their phone out recording
I’m a supervisor and I get pressure to cut my teams overtime from management but their wage is low for the work they do and we cover 20 hours a day six days a week. They work too many hours but I balance it with rotating heavy/light work. I myself need to work 10 hours of overtime a week to average at the wage I need to be paid. This video hits on the fucking money.
At least no one suggested to hire on 2 additional shifts so everyone gets moved to part time and no longer qualifies for any benefits and the company only has to pay minimum wage for everybody not in management.
i honestly thought he was shitting under the table lol
Hey your birdfeeders still empty
"atleast know their family" hahahaha
If you've got a boss, you need a union.
This is comedy GOLD!
What a wild skit
My company just did this, once we got them caught up they cut overtime.
Highest productivity for workers is only 15 hours each week. After the first 3 hours of each day, the average worker starts to fill work-time with non-work activities and productivity goes to shit. The way to maximize productivity is to hire as many people as possible and work them for as few hours as possible.
That is probably true for very few office workers, most jobs require to be highly productive for much longer time. Look at your nearest bartender for example.
Employee morale/rest can mean less turnover which means you spend less onboarding and getting behind on work because you get a bad rep with the workforce. More employee rest means less workplace accidents and better production. And less calling out sick because less stress and work mean better overall health.
They do customer surveys, maybe employee surveys should be a thing.
"On a scale of 1-5 how likely are you to keep your job if we increase your hours? 1 - 'I'd quit on the spot!' 5 - 'I love to work!'"
See how many people say what. As a company, your workers are your strength. If you're not taking care of them, you're not taking care of your company.
This is a meeting at Home Depot executives
Haha!!! Bro, you went there! 🤣
If you want employees to be more engaged, pay them more. I tell HR this whenever they bring up employee engagement.
This is so chaotic.
The company I work for pays very well we have unlimited access to bottled water and Gatorade and watermelon slices and bananas it’s 105-130 in the summer and I love it
This sure as hell isn't retail. The answer for retail is always send all the hourly home, because you're on salary and have been working for free since Thursday.
😂😂😂 spot on man 😂
