Act your wage and don't worry about being the manager🤣| AC:

[@MrGevander]

I'm not questioning your AUTHORITY, Karen... Just your INTELLIGENCE.

[@kellygaumer5667]

Ok great since I'm only getting paid 2 dollars an hour so I'm only give 2 dollars worth of work.

[@shirleysp8176]

Ok. I'll act my wage. So all the crap is on you 😂😂😂😂😂

[@craftymom3159]

But, it truly isn't on the boss when they mess up the schedule. It is on the poor employees that have to struggle with the crowds and complaints without any support from their "manager".

[@mattwiley4530]

Ok. Then when not enough staff don’t expect Emily to kick into high gear

[@VerySadPenguin]

When I worked as a retail associate I'd absolutely check the schedule for coverage. There were far too many times when I was the only one stuffed for some huge sale and all the managers would hide in the back and refuse to come help. It hit the point that if I saw there was only me scheduled, I'd just call out sick.

[@spectrelead]

"Questioning your authority"?! I don't see you in camo, Karen.

[@HaitianGirlMari]

I'd judt apologize to her and call in sick that day. 😂

[@frostywarrior4649]

Whenever I get ask to do something out my pay grade, I'm gonna use this line

[@PaddyInf]

Just had a Zulu flashback "Are you questioning my authority to command?" "Oh not your authority, pold boy..."

[@zorab973]

She said act your wage! 😂😂😂

[@MajinGatomon]

The Moment they get this defensive if the moment I am planning on calling in sick on Wednesday. Finding replacement is a manager´s job and I ought to act my wage, right?

[@tinawoodruff6625]

Tuesday evening around happy hour saying "my throat hurts" to give her some time to stress😊

[@sk8queen]

I’m really good at “acting my wage.” You want to run things. I will most definitely allow you to do so…

[@wazzazone]

What a terrible roster and management

[@DarnellWatson-xt2os]

She told her to Act your Wage which is very low!

[@DarnellWatson-xt2os]

Emily is talking about Corporate and they Work in a Dam Bar, Oh excuse me a Pub!

[@md61211]

Many pubs are owned by corporationa. No longer the family-owned pint-slinging where-everybody-knows-your-name kind of places. Not all pubs, but many.

[@taniawilliams3427]

I think she means that a company is coming into their pub to have a party.

[@anneo3754]

What is a rotor? Time for Emily to find a new job. Preferably one where the manager says thank you for calling out her errors & isn't threatened by the employees 😂

[@naomiemoore5725]

Did you look rota up?

[@Poeticfloetic]

*Rota

[@laladeylaya6738]

That is a good one at your wage😂😂

[@Talonshire2]

Quite already 😅😅😅😅

[@Poeticfloetic]

*quiet

[@ambermartin3961]

Had an owner (yes, of a pub) who seemed to get real sensitive if one of her managers was doing a good job. She took scheduling away from a manager who was phenomenally good at it. After that, I had to go in every single time the next schedule came out to remind our illustrious owner that I could not be put on the shifts they'd agreed I'd never have to work (a mid-week, not busy time conflict). I actually am pretty sure the owner liked the drama. Anyhow, I left as soon as I could.

[@jaymez3461]

Calling out that day to avoid certain disaster. Karen can handle it. She a MaNaGeR! Go get em Karen! 🎉

[@christinaburney5935]

Ok Cartman.

[@rmcar549]

Honestly, I'd love to not only act my wage, but BE my wage again...would be great! Plus I'd know NOT to put up woth managers like this, which i didn't know when i was my wage age lol!!

[@amandagoldsbury8122]

Im kinda waiting for this boss to put out a rotation where an employee is scheduled as two spots separately, and then gets mad because only one of you shows up, like you can't clone yourself.

[@ThroughtheLookingGlass-yg2fj]

"at will" employment takes care of these employees

[@unokitsune]

They just can't fire you for things like disability or religion

[@drunklink350]

Act my wage hu. Bet. Call the other person and say I'm not coming in for this party so unless you want to go solo I suggest you call out too. Acting my wage manager

[@ameliamae9227]

Act your wage is the dumbest thing I've ever heard!!!!

[@SuzanneRush]

It's a commonly used phrase, but normally in defence of people refusing to take on higher pay bracket tasks without an associated pay rise, title change, etc. Very common nowadays for companies to ask mainly minimum wage workers to take on tasks that should be handled by a dedicated person - oh you're good with maths, since our payroll lady quit can you handle that (in addition to your own workload) just until we find someone to replace her in a few months or something? be a team player, we don't have the budget to hire a new one now or pay any overtime, but you can make it work! - with the sole outcome being saving money for the company while increasing the workload of a random bottom runger, and risking issues for the worker when they fail to do two people's jobs in one person's hours, or do the different-skilled job wrong because they have no experience, no qualifications, and/or no training for it, and as they never _did_ the other job, just "helped out" then they can't even claim it as experience for future jobs. So it's extra work and extra risk for literally zero benefit, and the employee should decline, but they're normally faced with bullying/manipulation, accusing them of "not being a team player" or "wasting an opportunity", to which the response is "no, I'm just acting my wage; if you want me to do more work and/or a higher pay bracket's tasks, then my contract and compensation will need to reflect that". I have never heard it used as a "stay in your lane", but the Karen character seems like the type to hear a phrase in the common zeitgeist and assume it's in support of herself, the centre of the universe.😂

[@nadinesmith-jensen7732]

Well, if this is the only authority you have, I guess you have bigger problems’

[@kyle381000]

Staff should never be the safety net for an utterly incompetent manager. The only long-term solution is to keep quiet and let the string of failures point to the person who screwed things up. Staff involving themselves in management issues usually just results in creating a situation where the staff can be blamed.

[@snidecommenter7117]

One time my sister spotted something that didn't look right to her ( in some orders ), she couldn't put a finger on it since she was relatively new. She approached a manager with her concerns and was snapped at. Okay. Fine. About a year later it blew up into a real schitt storm. Cost the company over a million dollars. A manager went to speak with her. "Oh, I brought it up because it didn't look right, but I was told to stay in my lane. Okay. I'm just an employee. Fine."

[@cliffrobertson4847]

Sup with the wall clock lol?

[@joyricherson4570]

I'm Emily!

[@The_Dougie]

A rotor?

[@almostfm]

A rota. In America we call it a schedule.

[@DarnellWatson-xt2os]

If it wasn't for their hair bun and their voice, no one couldn't tell if they are females, because a lack of no breast they don't have. Emily don't have hands, no fingers, Yet they are Hilarious.👏👍😃

[@VivaToddVegas]

Strange cartoon… It looks and sounds like they’re in a corporate job environment, but then they seem to be talking about a job at a pub. Weird!😮

[@Tantejuju65]

Are people taking your stuff and changing voices??

[@DarnellWatson-xt2os]

That Clock that's on the Wall behind Karen looks So Real.🤔🫵👍
