They used to dog us to work saturdays. After the fifth “just this one time” in a row, we all agreed if asked again we’d come in, and do diddly shit. Well, boss man asks for number 6 and we came in and clock sucked for 8 hours. He was so pissed off on Monday and yelled, “From now on I’m going to be here for Saturday work, you all ruined it for yourselves.” We just smiled and nodded. Never worked a Saturday again on that job, strangely enough.
I worked at a place and picked up a Saturday job. Didn't tell anyone and just worked the side gig for months since where I was at refused to let me train up. Eventually they decided that we were gonna open on Saturday and I said I had prior commitments which paid almost double. They told me I should consider putting in my notice since the Saturday hours would be starting in 30 days. I went in to the Saturday job that week and a full time position has been posted, I signed the bid and got it. I put in my two weeks at the old full time gig and they really told me "we meant put in your two weeks at the side job, not here"
They must train managers and supervisors on how to maintain the BS and throw it down hill on the workers. I've heard this same speech from managers . This is hilarious man 😂
They do. My buddy was trained to be a manager. Said they taught him all the weasely manager talk. He ended up not taking the position and now uses it as sort of a comedy routine. It's hilarious and disgusting at the same time lol.
My last workplace would wait until 2-3 hours before they expected you to be on the jobsite, before telling us we had to work Saturday. We could never plan anything.
if it is not in the schedule in time for me to voice a complaint about it, then it is optional overtime. Don t have the choice to btch and moan about it, well then i don t have to be there in the first place :D
@@foxpopuli6982 you just tell them you have something to do, on your weekend off. I will never work weekends unless I want to, and if I do it’s only for a few hours. Prioritize your time off man, if you put in 32-40hrs then that’s enough.
"I gotta keep the wife happy." I tell you what, we can trade places like you want and ill keep your wife happy over the weekend for you. How bout that?
Ive never worked a weekend my boss wasn't there and I didn't also want to be. Took me several years working through some pretty terrible companies, putting my foot down anytime they'd asked me to do something illegal/unprofessional. Finally feel like Ive made it. But it took a lot to possess the knowledge I do around labour laws. This guy is educating the youth in short-form. And Im all for it. Follow the medium that the youth do, and you will be an inspiration. People like you are all we have in a society that privatizes profits, and socializes losses.
I worked night shift at a job. One week the day shift was having a bad week so for the full week we had to increase production to make up for the struggles day shift was having. And we were doing it. We met our daily requirements and would also do almost half of what Day shift had left over. I was the one doing a majority of it. That Friday they tried telling us that Night shift was gonna have to come in on Saturday to get us caught back up. Day shift didn't have to. So I told them they could count me in and proceeded to not show up ever. Didn't bother telling them I quit. I tend to plan things for the weekend and it did not include working. So surprise work days are a huge no for me.
at least with our union rules they can't come up to us on friday and say hey you guys got to come in on sat. at least 24hr notice and i think 48hr if they want us to play catch up on a holiday weekend.
It's the "we're trying to hire more people" thing that gets me. Yeah. Okay. Sure you are. Trying real hard to hire people at the same pay rate as the fast food joint down the road. You know what gets people to apply, and actually show up instead of ghosting the company because they got a better offer before their start date? You freaking pay a little bit more. Holy shit. Pay a little more and suddenly it's no longer a revolving door of people leaving 2 months after they learn everything so we can get some new guy to waste time training for their next job.
They'd give us the same excuse every time they'd make us work mandatory overtime on Saturdays. They'd hire "temporary workers" in bulk, burn through them in a few weeks as most of them would quit and rinse and repeat the same cycle over and over. When the entirety of the warehouse, including the loading dock workers are coming in on Saturdays to stock shelves, you have a management problem.
right. i've heard that bs shit for 2 years never got any new hires. for awhile they tried use temps, that experiment failed. did get more work piled on us that is now part of our role. only recently did they get some new people in and the crutch of it they got hiring bonuses and found out getting paid more that where i am at right now. i've been there for 6yrs. :/ pay more to cover inflation rates not less and you might get some decent people.
@PTRamos This, it's often times a tax loophole thing. There was a blue collar business near where I live that had a 'now hiring' banner out front for literally 8 years uninterrupted before finally taking it down...They weren't actually hiring that whole time, just pretending to.
As a younger guy doing printing press work at a company run by an awful foreman, we were always demanded to work saturdays. One Friday i was like im not coming tomorrow to the boys. They looked at me like i said im gonna smack the boss. They said ill get in trouble we have to come in, i said its not my job to work Saturday if i dont want to, im not coming. I did not come in. Im sure it was part of the poison i always received from the foreman after. Later my whole department walked out one morning, after being refused a raise. I was alone, they got real nice with me. They gave me a quarter raise, and four printing presses older than me and broken to run every order. After about two days of that i stopped coming. It was said that months later, after all this happened an owner walked into the factory, saw the foreman with miles of material on the floor of a broken machine, and a bunch of workers using two by fours and sticks to make it work. The owner yelled "what the hell are you doing??" at the foreman. The foreman, after basically sinking this whole facility in two years got his feelings hurt and walked out. Company shut down a year later.
BRO!! Marshall... Just when I thought i was all CAUGHT up and done PISSING my self from laughter! You drop another!!!!! Fire bro! fire! Time to go on tour!
Does this mean we are not going to see you being told to complete the annual "anonymous" employee satisfaction survey? The one where you need to enter your company email address and your special 5 digit pin to access it. You know, totally anonymous.
Had a guy fill out an anonymous survey working as a mechanic at a car dealership. They had recently messed with his pay/hours, so he was livid. After he took the survey, surprise! Please come to the main office. He was forced to change his survey or be fired.
I've been pretty lucky that a lot of the owners in places I've worked have just jumped in when we're shy on staff, granted they're slower than the usual staff but they know what they're doing at least.
Company I worked for played games with overtime and making people salaried who were obviously hourly so they could work 'em 50 and pay 'em 40. Jobs were tough to get then (late 90's) so they got away with that... until. Class action lawsuit time and the attorney for the plaintiffs was the Florida Department of Labor. Those guys got all their overtime pay, some for years.
I started a salaried job, and it was upfront. You live work in the summer, and barely do anything in the winter. Was a great deal honestly to me. But a few months in an ex employee threw a fit over how my company paid him and they were investigated by the labor department. Company had to dish out massive back pay checks to many salaried employees, and without my input I started getting paid for every hour I work. It's like a surprise extra 10k a year that I did not sign up for.
"You should be grateful we allow you to work for a company like us." "Other people are looking for a job" "Can we count on you to put in just another extra day"
don't forget that when you press for why aren't you getting us more help they reply with "nobody wants to work work anymore" "I just don't understand it" "we are offering 10$/hr"
When covid hit, my workplace actually gained a ton of demand, so we got stuck working every saturday for over 2 years. My workplace just couldnt understand why everybody was leaving.
Yeah, they only worked you ragged right to the bone. They can't seem to get it through their thick skulls to their smooth brains that we aren't machines, and even machines break down due to being ran WAY longer than they should. They seem to think 8 hours of sleep is enough to fully renergize you and let your body recover like it's the first day of the week. They don't realize the maximum you can recover gets smaller and smaller as the week goes on. By the time you hit day 5 in the week, your maximum stamina is cut almost by half, hence why most only work half speed by the fifth day. it's literally an instinctive reaction to avoid further harm. Our bodies are going into safe mode, essentially. And then working a 6th?! No, it's dangerous. There's been studies on this, even evidence that even working 5 days cuts your potential life span by as much as... what was it... 5, 10 years?
This happened to us. For 10 months I worked 60 or 72 hours nearly every week. A few times 80. Rarely 48 if there were machine or supply issues. After everyone started leaving, they decided to start hiring people. It was rough.
@@ph00xyi worked Fridays and Saturdays during covid i work more in the food industry so they tended to be dependent on us(government and such) Depending where you work its more necessary. Like currently we're doing mon-thur partial days at times cuz demands low but say a hurricane hits the east coast orders will go up cuz its more needed. Barely anyone quitted mostly anyone new
I worl currently in a food company and honestly either my company is super lenient on everything (work, hiring, days off etc etc) or some just wants to be treated like a king (cuz i know some people do have bad employers) Cuz even in firing there fair like the whole"i didn't show up for weekends 'and all that would not slide and wouldn't care how essential you were if your more of a liability then productive your out. (They have a schedule and rotation) and if your disrupting that they'll warn you to cut it out and eventually will fire you
I worked day and night shifts and was told I am expected to work weekends. Then I noticed how everyone else started to do less in the office. The person I trained as my relief became my replacement as they booted me to another job. This skit hits really close to home for me.
Worked in a furniture factory we were originally told Monday thru Thursday 7 till five then they magically had mandatory Friday and Saturday ten hour shifts I'm not there anymore
Last job had a supervisor that was there every minute we were there. He retired. The guy that was promoted also worked there for 10+ years as his backup. We were working 50 hrs a week but he was cutting out early on OT day because "there was nothing going on". As soon as he left my lead would sit at the supervisor desk to cover for him and I would be left to work by myself doing a 2 person job. Amazing.
Most companies have HR departments that have no idea of the job they are hiring for. With years of experience I still get " sorry but your experience isn't what we are looking for " . Ieven had one tell me that and then asked what a pipe fitter does .
This hit hard today as my shift was informed that we will be working 2-10 on the 4th of July. While they close the office for management for the whole day
You'll learn hopefully that very rarely is a person pathologically anything. A true sociopath is not that common you shouldn't be so prejudiced by people. Sociopathic behaviour is a human nature event and is typically singular. You will encounter sociopathic people a lot who are not all consumed sociopathic. If you cower and scurry from this human nature occurrence and label people as some new species when it happens to you or you see it, you're gonna become a weirdo. Take offense if you want, but trying to help you understand. We got a bit crazy with the sociopathic and narcissist labelling. You can't use it to dismiss people as people. It's now a crutch people lean on to cope with the world. "Oh well he's a sociopath, not a person like me and those I care about.". That's a VERY slippery slope of thinking.
@@mineduck3050 if a person only exhibits one type of behavioral trait 99% of the time that is what they are. It is irrelevant if that person has other traits as a result. I.e. a murderer may have hugged and said I love you to their grandmother then went out and committed murder. The fact they were kind to their grandmother doesnt change the fact they killed someone.
I've never in 25years of being employed worked a weekend I didn't want to work. I've left every job that has tried to force me to tho, 1 after just 2 weeks of being there. If you're gonna let someone treat you like a mug, don't be surprised and cry victim when they do treat you like one.
Biggest issue is companies/businesses do t want to pay people anything. Inflation has kicked in and literally everything has gone up except people’s pay checks. Companies are making huge profits right now from the price increases and by not increasing pays they are making even more money. But they expect their employees to still work at the same pay rate if. It harder with more job responsibilities. These same companies when they do loose their employees for other competitors or better jobs doing something else. Wonder why they are unable to find replacements and give the excuse that it’s just this new generation that doesn’t want to work and be lazy. No it’s I have bills to pay and when your more worried about your bonuses and shareholders getting big profits. Over your employees getting a wage to combat this increase in living there is an issue. This isn’t China we’re you can outsource what we do for a 1$ an hour.
@Backlash1818 Mobile Gaming Channel bro regardless of that no company that i know of will allow employees to use company equipment for a non company job. That's taking away work from the company essentially. Unless it's like a super small company I guess if the owner was the coolest ever
I will never be forced to work a Saturday ever again. If im asked and I feel like it, I will, but i will most likely never feel like it. I live below my means and I save. I have skills and abilities to get quality work done. I'll find another job faster than I'll go through my savings.
I'll work Saturday. no problem. work me every Saturday. my contract is 2x OT only, as a union dude in an extremely technical trade. mine is also literally the most hazardous job in the united states.
Literally, the most hazardous job in the United States is being a logging worker with 82 out of 100,000 employees having a fatal injury on the job. The second most hazardous job is being a fishing or hunting worker, with 75 out of 100,000 employees having a fatal injury on the job. 3-10 Roofers: 59/100,000 Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers: 48/100,000 Structural Iron and Steel Workers: 36/100,000 Delivery and Truck Drivers: 29/100,000 Refuse and Recyclable Material Collectors: 28/100,000 Underground Mining Machine Operators: 27/100,000 Construction Trade Workers: 23/100,000 Electrical Power-line Installers and Repairers: 22/100,000
that's ballsy right there. always love that with managers. oh hey by we need to do more ot and come in on sat sun. and if could come in on a holiday too that would be great.. where you going to be? oh i am going up north for the entire weekend it is going to be nice and relaxing. but hey make sure you get caught up okay.
Weird how the supervisors never show up on saturdays but still demand you to come in and finish all those VERY important things. Its like they are all connected mentally and come up with BS reasons :D
"What do you want? What do you want?" MONEY. Pay your employees more money, and their motivation will rise in direct proportion to how much more you pay them.
@Archone666 simple, open a competing business and pay more money. Since the business has so much more money to give, it'll be easy. Then all the employees will jump ship and work for you. That's the beauty of capitalism, nothing stopping you from competing!
We were shut down all last week and had to work a 12 hour shift last Saturday. Was nothing going on and everyone was mostly standing around. We couldn't leave except for all the management and supervisors left halfway through the shift to enjoy box seats at the baseball game.
I work in a shipping company, and during peak season (christmas time), saturday is only mandatory for new hire (first thirty days or 1st year), Optional for everyone else. But there is forms and options to work additional days during that time.
I used to work for a guy that would hand me my check on Friday and tell me " we’re working tomorrow". He was there as well, but you couldn’t plan shit.
I've had General Forman that have had this attitude. Funny thing is they always try to make it sound like overtime is a gift or something, like they're blessing you with being away from home on the weekend. Don't get me wrong, time and a half for Saturday or double time for Sunday is helpful sometimes, but I'll work it when I want to work it and when I do, I'M blessing YOU by being there.
First, if saturday and/or sunday are mandatory, the manager should have their ass there as well. Period. That’s leadership. Second, past a certain point, people slow down whether they want to or not. There are studies behind it that show the longer hours, all other things being equal, result in diminished output.
If my boss says the shit the night before I just tell him that sorry I have plans. Should’ve said something sooner, not my problem you don’t want to communicate until the last minute.
this channel reminds me of felonious felafel. basically here are the comments: my boss shot me in the head and then fired me the next day for not coming into work and usually, the commenters are all from unskilled labor like factories

That is called a work in strike
I just kept telling my boss no. Man they hate that word.
@FarmersAreCool they always seem taken aback. Like they can't fathom how you have the audacity to say no.
Give me “hustle” pay, and I’ll hustle as much as that pay warrants. Lmao.
Facts
If you are salary. THey expect you to work that saturday for free.
meh time is more valuable then pay, i would be fine working 3 days

I just stopped showing up on Saturdays. They threatened to fire me constantly. I didn’t care and weirdly enough I wasn’t fired
That sounds awesome good on you

(They have a schedule and rotation) and if your disrupting that they'll warn you to cut it out and eventually will fire you
That's gold. Rain gold.
I worked day and night shifts and was told I am expected to work weekends. Then I noticed how everyone else started to do less in the office. The person I trained as my relief became my replacement as they booted me to another job. This skit hits really close to home for me.
Every distribution center job ever😂
Worked in a furniture factory we were originally told Monday thru Thursday 7 till five then they magically had mandatory Friday and Saturday ten hour shifts I'm not there anymore
Last job had a supervisor that was there every minute we were there. He retired. The guy that was promoted also worked there for 10+ years as his backup. We were working 50 hrs a week but he was cutting out early on OT day because "there was nothing going on". As soon as he left my lead would sit at the supervisor desk to cover for him and I would be left to work by myself doing a 2 person job. Amazing.
I love being in a union, I get time and a half on saturdays and double time on sundays
Local 479
Gotta make that extra money to pay for them dues👍
@JoeFabeets the union loves you even more, all those dues and they do very little!
@@steve8803 they actually do quite a lot considering how cheap my dues are buddy.
This video popped up at the perfect time, this tomorrow is my 2nd Saturday at the plant. Our toolbox "meeting" is exactly like this
You left the part out about the 5 dollar gift card the boss gives out to show the appreciation lol. Big slap in the face
no they go into the draw for a 5 dollar gift card
Speaking of speaking up… I always “joke” at my job that “Someone has to wear the black cowboy hat, might as well be me!”
Most companies have HR departments that have no idea of the job they are hiring for. With years of experience I still get " sorry but your experience isn't what we are looking for " . Ieven had one tell me that and then asked what a pipe fitter does .
Marshall, idea for a video... "that's not how we do things here".
This hit hard today as my shift was informed that we will be working 2-10 on the 4th of July. While they close the office for management for the whole day
I know it's 45 minutes till quittin time, but I'm going to need you to "volunteer" to work on Saturday 😅
volun-told
I wouldnt work for someone like that. That's a sociopath.
That is the current boss meta
You'll learn hopefully that very rarely is a person pathologically anything. A true sociopath is not that common you shouldn't be so prejudiced by people. Sociopathic behaviour is a human nature event and is typically singular. You will encounter sociopathic people a lot who are not all consumed sociopathic. If you cower and scurry from this human nature occurrence and label people as some new species when it happens to you or you see it, you're gonna become a weirdo. Take offense if you want, but trying to help you understand. We got a bit crazy with the sociopathic and narcissist labelling. You can't use it to dismiss people as people. It's now a crutch people lean on to cope with the world. "Oh well he's a sociopath, not a person like me and those I care about.". That's a VERY slippery slope of thinking.
@@mineduck3050 if a person only exhibits one type of behavioral trait 99% of the time that is what they are. It is irrelevant if that person has other traits as a result. I.e. a murderer may have hugged and said I love you to their grandmother then went out and committed murder. The fact they were kind to their grandmother doesnt change the fact they killed someone.
I've never in 25years of being employed worked a weekend I didn't want to work. I've left every job that has tried to force me to tho, 1 after just 2 weeks of being there. If you're gonna let someone treat you like a mug, don't be surprised and cry victim when they do treat you like one.
Well buddy, you want me to work Saturday again? I'm gonna need some triple time pay
Amen 🙏
Haha 😂 yes! I’d quit too! Damn I wish i could pee in a hard hat 😂
This is my current situation this weekend 😂
Biggest issue is companies/businesses do t want to pay people anything. Inflation has kicked in and literally everything has gone up except people’s pay checks.
Companies are making huge profits right now from the price increases and by not increasing pays they are making even more money. But they expect their employees to still work at the same pay rate if. It harder with more job responsibilities.
These same companies when they do loose their employees for other competitors or better jobs doing something else. Wonder why they are unable to find replacements and give the excuse that it’s just this new generation that doesn’t want to work and be lazy.
No it’s I have bills to pay and when your more worried about your bonuses and shareholders getting big profits. Over your employees getting a wage to combat this increase in living there is an issue. This isn’t China we’re you can outsource what we do for a 1$ an hour.
Worked 3am this last Saturday, but at least our plant manager was there also.
My dad used to use company equipment as a surveyor to do side jobs on Saturday, his boss didn't like it.
That'll definitely get you fired in most companies
@Backlash1818 Mobile Gaming Channel bro regardless of that no company that i know of will allow employees to use company equipment for a non company job. That's taking away work from the company essentially. Unless it's like a super small company I guess if the owner was the coolest ever
This is Perfect to send too your boss on Saturday morning lol
I will never be forced to work a Saturday ever again. If im asked and I feel like it, I will, but i will most likely never feel like it. I live below my means and I save. I have skills and abilities to get quality work done. I'll find another job faster than I'll go through my savings.
You should do one of these when the boss has to deal with a National Guard or Reserve soldier that has to go on orders.
I worked with a guy one time he said if I can't drink beer on the job then I'm outta here 😂😂
Worked with a guy who would sip on Ocean Spray Cranberry Vodka whole shift
@wayneoakley1832 most likely 6' under from liver failure.
Is there a longer version?
This sounds like my job years ago with the architecture firm.
We need a few other characters helping our boy out in the break room 😂
I'll work Saturday. no problem. work me every Saturday. my contract is 2x OT only, as a union dude in an extremely technical trade. mine is also literally the most hazardous job in the united states.
You deliver pizza in the ghetto as a white man?? I did not know it was a technical trade but I guess you do need some skills.
The job is called "BS-ing"
Literally, the most hazardous job in the United States is being a logging worker with 82 out of 100,000 employees having a fatal injury on the job.
The second most hazardous job is being a fishing or hunting worker, with 75 out of 100,000 employees having a fatal injury on the job.
3-10
Roofers: 59/100,000
Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers: 48/100,000
Structural Iron and Steel Workers: 36/100,000
Delivery and Truck Drivers: 29/100,000
Refuse and Recyclable Material Collectors: 28/100,000
Underground Mining Machine Operators: 27/100,000
Construction Trade Workers: 23/100,000
Electrical Power-line Installers and Repairers: 22/100,000
If it wasnt for the suicide nets the most hazardous job would be working in an i-phone factory in China
#endslavelabour
What a fucking twist lmao
You gotta do longer vids. I listen while i work
That’s something I would do, probably crown you King Kong when you get to jail too
that's ballsy right there. always love that with managers. oh hey by we need to do more ot and come in on sat sun. and if could come in on a holiday too that would be great.. where you going to be? oh i am going up north for the entire weekend it is going to be nice and relaxing. but hey make sure you get caught up okay.
Best ever!!!
Best one yet
Been there, done that. Let me know if you need an extra in any of your skits. I'll bring ideas to the table all day long.
I only work Monday through Thursday 😂😂😂 4 ten hour shifts
This is exactly like my work 😂
Saturdays are voluntarily mandatory 😂
Saturdays are a deal breaker.
Why hasn’t this gone viral?
You do that managerial bullshit a bit to well. ^eyes Marshall Partrick suspicously^
We had Saturday inventory from like 5 pm to 3 am and I just forgot how to count and was never asked to work it again.
Weird how the supervisors never show up on saturdays but still demand you to come in and finish all those VERY important things.
Its like they are all connected mentally and come up with BS reasons :D
I stopped the video @2:32. I seriously thought something was leaking in my house. LMAO
"What do you want? What do you want?" MONEY. Pay your employees more money, and their motivation will rise in direct proportion to how much more you pay them.
@Archone666 simple, open a competing business and pay more money. Since the business has so much more money to give, it'll be easy. Then all the employees will jump ship and work for you. That's the beauty of capitalism, nothing stopping you from competing!
I love all your videos
Everybody wants them to hire more people until they have to work with the new guys
only because they are paying so low that the only new people they get are so lazy your better off doing it yourself
We were shut down all last week and had to work a 12 hour shift last Saturday. Was nothing going on and everyone was mostly standing around. We couldn't leave except for all the management and supervisors left halfway through the shift to enjoy box seats at the baseball game.
current job i been on for past yr havnt had 1 hr of overtime
Holy shit! This is my boss nearly verbatim!
I wonder if folk from the EU watch this in utter disbelief.
Can you come in on Saturday?
For overtime?
Can't authorize that, but you can get comp time.
Nah
I work in a shipping company, and during peak season (christmas time), saturday is only mandatory for new hire (first thirty days or 1st year), Optional for everyone else. But there is forms and options to work additional days during that time.
God this brings back memories I had a boss just like this every holiday or something but he would never come in
I used to work for a guy that would hand me my check on Friday and tell me " we’re working tomorrow". He was there as well, but you couldn’t plan shit.
They gonn learn this decade 😡
I've had General Forman that have had this attitude. Funny thing is they always try to make it sound like overtime is a gift or something, like they're blessing you with being away from home on the weekend. Don't get me wrong, time and a half for Saturday or double time for Sunday is helpful sometimes, but I'll work it when I want to work it and when I do, I'M blessing YOU by being there.
Was forced to work Saturday's at a siteone with a meth addicted supervisor who went wild after i missed a Saturday.
This shit is so real 😂
This me… to my Forman….
In my country saturdays are 100% overtime pay by law. No way around it
First, if saturday and/or sunday are mandatory, the manager should have their ass there as well. Period. That’s leadership.
Second, past a certain point, people slow down whether they want to or not. There are studies behind it that show the longer hours, all other things being equal, result in diminished output.
*To Marshall Patrick* The piss quit is awesome, I would laugh if someone actually used it.
The "fuck you I quit" walkout is the the best
Yeah boy 😂
If my boss says the shit the night before I just tell him that sorry I have plans. Should’ve said something sooner, not my problem you don’t want to communicate until the last minute.
this channel reminds me of felonious felafel.
basically here are the comments: my boss shot me in the head and then fired me the next day for not coming into work
and usually, the commenters are all from unskilled labor like factories
You are like my spirit animal 😢
maybe twice in the last 10yrs
