No right to be rude!

I feel this to my core. Unemployed for over 6 mos. Found a job @ 40% my previous salary, had to move (at my cost). Triple the rent.

Florida expensive ? California -“hold my beer!”

Even in the subtitles, "Veronica" is spelled with a "c". At no point in this video or its description labels is the name spelled with a "k". 🤣😅🤣

Veronica has no friends.

Well Margy, you tell me if it’s a big deal worth bringing up

I don't understand what you expect people to do. If you can't afford something, it isn't my responsibility to fix it for you.

Favors go both ways. You scratch my back I scratch yours. This company seems like a one way street.

Let’s face it bad management stays because all of the layers are bad managers.

Umm…Veronica…you can move to a more affordable community OR you need to make more money but your complaining isn’t gonna solve your problem.

"Just move..." "Can't afford it, well you'll have to settle for what you can afford..." "Some jobs can keep up with the cost of living" If i, a professional with a degree and a license, can't afford my rent being over double what it was 10 years ago, how am i supposed to save enough money to afford F/L/S plus moving costs to a new area? My salary surely hasnt doubled in the past 10 years. Landlords and the companies that have stealthily bought multiple residential properties in the recent past have us all collectively over a barrel. Their mass purchasing has inflated the housing market prices to unattainable levels whether you seek to rent or purchase a home. My rent is double what it was 10 years ago, but that means that in my current location the requirements to rent a different home are now ridiculous. Most property management companies require that you earn at least 3 times the cost of your rent per month in order to qualify to live there. That is laughable, even as a degreed and licensed professional. A two bedroom apartment costs at least 2000$ per month. I certainly dont bring home 6000$ per month nor do i have the ability to save 6000$ to move from my current home when the owner decides to raise my rent again this year. To those who want to argue "just work harder, you can do it!" I say this: you are misinformed and unrealistic. I work 50+ hour weeks in a salaried positioned and i have a 2nd job where i work 12-16 hours per pay period. My work ethic is not the problem. The cost if housing being at least double what it was 10 years ago IS. [please note: i am not special in my situation, i am not alone in this predicament, i am not here for sympathy. i commented to provide specific hard figures to help combat misinformation and support our Veronica]

If you can't afford what you want, you'll have to settle for something less. Deal with it.

Ignoring some things 1. Home ownership can largely negate this (albeit downpayment, etc factors in) 2. Some jobs can keep up with the cost of living 3. Corporations also build apartments and additional housing 4. (Mostly for other commenters) The government and homeowner pressure can be a negative as they influence where housing is allowed. 5. Heavy migration to certain areas (NY, boise id, Texas, etc) can spike housing prices. Tldr; supply and demand doesn’t go away simply because the government passes laws.

I kind of agree with the purple character on this one. If your living conditions are untenable, then move. We all have a choice to either continue to do what we are doing or change. In addition, the grey character's argument is a bit flawed. She complains about her personal situation and then brings in 'everyone else'. If it is one thing that I have learned about people, they typically do what is best for themselves and do not really care about anyone else.

This has happened to me. I felt like people thought I was being petty. I was the only Sylvia ,then another Silvia came in. All of a sudden they started spelling my name Silvia instead of Sylvia. It became so annoying. Everyone spelled myname correctly before but now you guys dont. Please spell my name with a Y not an I. End of conversation

These people don't realize that THEY ARE THE PROBLEM! 🤨 Corporations are not sacred. They usually are night right either. The wrong people run them and people like this give dumb answers to serious issues that they enable. This lady is too dumb, naive, and aloof to realize she is the forward facing simpleton to a massive problem many are dealing with in this world. It's not just a Florida, US, or Western World problem. The silver lining here is pretty soon she too will be priced out of being able to live a decent life. When she wants to retire, she will find out all she has done for her savings will not have been enough. Her former employer will not care what happens to her as they took her for everything she was worth (her time, her effort, her misplaced loyalty). At that point Veronica will be in a much better place. Silver linings!🤔

Seize the means of production!!!

Except that Veronica is lying. Her name is even spelled with a C in the video titles. Orrrrr ... is the video creator lying?

LMAO consistently spelled with a C in the subtitles and hashtags.

To the Manager: What’s your Major Malfunction? What part of NO !!! don’t you understand?

Meetings are to be held during normal work hours only. I made that clear to my boss who used to make me come in early for them with no compensation.

It does not make sense, because if they were approaching you, then you’ve already proven yourself! They want to see if they can take it more advantage of you than they already have!😊

This is why Veronica doesn't have a job.

Veronica is a hero. In reality though, her manager would debate her for at least an hour in this case, and then repeated the false issue on a number of occasions into her future. Veronica would then resign.

i was an er nurse. it is not our responsibility to speak in other languages. that is why they hire PAID interpreters.

well it is not arrogance when you stand up for yourself.

If I call the manager about an employee and they want to check the footage I am all for it

i wish i met veronica before i retired.

These videos are EMPOWERING.

preach those facts veronica.

Veronica allows me to live vicariously through her, and helps me realize how I have been exploited by my employers, many of them are Fortune 500 companies.

Make them SAY IT OUT LOUD... "You want free labour, you want me to be your SLAVE"

The attitude of whomever creates these is what’s wrong with today’s work force.

Supervisors, do you want to be respected by your employees? Show them respect first. Jesus, this isn't rocket science.

I got some nasty looks at my work for not participating, but I didn't want to and the negative feedback from my lack of participation just affirms I made the correct decision. My coworkers are not my friends. I would not interact with those people if I weren't working with them. Not saying they are bad people, but they aren't my people.

i participated twice similar thing happened i no longer participate . Id rather work than stop and go exchange gifts. That gift cost me both my private money and time . solid pass

Yep. And no such thing as "a working lunch".

Fortunately I've never had to take part in stuff like this. As an over-the-road driver 1991-2018 it was rare to see the same drivers 2 or more times in a week unless you're in orientation together. At one company I didn't see my Driver Manager, DM, for almost 4 months and at another I was there 14 months and never saw my DM face to face.

Veronica never smacks her head after a discussion and thinks she should have said this or that. Just like us.

This one has a little bit of grey area in it. Certainly if you're being tapped off hours to provide translation services, to expect that without additional compensation is incredibly inappropriate. However, if you are currently working and someone just wants to transfer a customer to you because you speak their language, I'm not so sure demanding extra compensation for it would be appropriate either. I don't know. That's a grey area to me. I think it would depend on the circumstances. For example: If I'm working in call center answering customer calls all day, and my manager said, "Hey, George got a German customer that doesn't speak English very well. Would you be willing to take the call?" Yeah, I'd take that call and wouldn't demand extra compensation for it. Conversely, if I'm working for that same company but as one of the companies IT staff or something, and it was expected that I would just take customer service calls from anyone who speaks German, then yeah, I'd have a problem with that.

😂

❤❤

Prove my self ? huh

this is weirdly relatable

Wow, that was great! How did you do that? What software...? My folks are in an old folks home. This would be great for what goes on there. Thank you so much.

Be a Veronica.

😮😮 My boss pays by the hour. Other duties as assigned means whatever she needs within in those hours she is paying me.

I'm falling in love with Veronica

Look mejita you can ask, but it doesn't mean I'll respond! Oh, and, I hope that makes sense.

You’re only a team player when you can benefit the company not you !!!
