I work in a paint store, stockroom inventory, only part time though. There's three full-time employees who have to man the counter, answer the phone, and mix the paint, and one woman who does the bookkeeping. Our delivery driver quit a month back (no idea why, he was a bit...off). I'm one of two, maybe three part-time workers, but on the days I work, I'm usually the only one doing inventory, because everyone is doing everything else. I unload pallets of paint (quarts, one gallon, 5 gallon buckets, accessories like brushes...), sign for the delivery, unwrap and stock the store, and try and stay out of everyone else's way. Days I work we get about 3-4 pallets averaging about 1500-2000 lbs a pallet. Which I deal with usually all by myself for 5+ hours straight. I know it's small potatoes in comparison, but I can still appreciate where Ricky is coming from with this.

I know all about doing something manually that could easily be done with a rented machine. My stepdad owns rental property and he sometimes misses the bigger picture. I've manually dug a 70 ft. 36 inch deep trench that he paid me hourly for. It took me nearly 12 hours going through the rocky soil. I wound up getting paid over 5 times what it would have cost to rent a trencher. Another example was fill for a basement before concrete. He decided to use some old bricks and bad concrete from a garage floor as some of the fill. The concrete contractor even said "rock is 250 dollars a ton you're going to spend 50 hours to save 50 bucks". Well my stepdad paid 3 people to manually tear out the garage floor and transfer the rubble to the basement. It took multiple days. In the end he paid the three of us over 1,200. A bobcat rental and a construction dumpster would have only cost about 500 and the project would have been done in a day. I could go on and on. Sometimes saving money isn't actually worth it and companies don't care because they don't care about future money. They care about the dollar now.

Preach! I swear, I had to deal with stupidity like that daily at UPS and it drove me nuts. Story time: I worked hazmat responders where we needed supplies to do our job. These supplies included boxes because we picked up everything that leaked, not just the hazmats, and a lot of it could easily be put in new boxes and shipped on its way. UPS in there infinite wisdom apparently changed the way the paid our box supplier WITHOUT TELLING THEM so instead of paying when the order goes through or monthly billing or whatever they did, they switched to a yearly payment plan. Needless to say, the supplier said go f yourselves and we could no longer get size 14 boxes (which were extremely useful for odd sized items) but also couldn't get the really useful bags that we used to pick up the leaking packages that the supplier also sold us. Instead we had to use these basically sandwich glove thick plastic bags that ripped at the slightest tug and were also smaller to the point of uselessness on about half our usual leakers. Anytime I brought it up with management they said it's fine since that supplier was so "expensive". I'm just staring at them and screaming internally that because of that we now spend more on the new bags because we run through them quicker (torn bags are not supposed to be used to transport leaking packages) but we also need more boxes because the 14s were now flat gone so instead of using bigger and bulkier ones we used two or more of the smaller ones to make sure the item doesn't jostle too much. Plus we had to spend more time on the clock now due to the pickups taking longer to deal with. Yeah, sure saved money there. Idiots.

exactly, all you need to do to get people to accept your job offer is to pay a wage that makes sense. where I'm at now can't seem to find anyone to accept the job offer, well the plant across the street starts a $1.50 more an hour. figure it out. lol

Walmart still slave drives it's employees

I remember the first time I worked seven twelves on a union job. Being young and having never had a job that paid above ten dollars an hour I was excited to crack open the envelope with my check in it. I took one look and legit thought there was an issue. By the time the union took their cut and uncles sam took his I was down a thousand dollars. Damn near made me sick to my stomach.

This one was pretty hilarious, I sent it to my boss. LMAO

[@The2KXperience]

Back when I worked at a security company my boss literally told me "I don't care if my workers are happy, they have jobs, that should make them happy enough." What jobsites never understand is that this creates a revolving door/carousel of misery. Employees will work hard until they realize they're being taken advantage of, then they'll burn out, and then they'll start doing only enough work so that they don't get fired while looking for other jobs. And when they move on to better opportunities that appreciate them more and sees them as people and not just cogs in a machine, the company will move on and hire the next desperate soul that's just happy to have a job, and work them to death until they finally move on, and the cycle continues. And then the company will pay a research firm tens of thousands of dollars to figure out why their employee retention is so trash instead of putting that money where it should go: into the hands of their over-worked and underpaid employees. Just a reminder to everyone: you don't owe a job a god damn thing. It is not a privilege to have a job. It is an equal exchange: you need work, they need workers. Don't ever shortchange yourself. Recognize your value. Take care y'all.

Seriously this hits different. For me I have been getting this nagging feeling that despite working a high-pressure job and working multiple positions on the line, I seem like I don't do enough at work. Had our coo tell me I'm doing a great job this past weekend, but it doesn't feel that way.
