It amazes me that people who can't distinguish between 'your' and 'you're' are allowed to manage people
A million dollar company could just be a warehouse and 10 employees. I don't know why they are acting like it's a lot.
Where I live, a million dollars doesn’t buy you a house. So I don’t know what this bitch is talking about.

A "million dollar company" could be pulled directly out of their ass. Jenny's illiteracy doesn't inspire confidence in her accounting skills.
Assuming they mean revenue, i did more than that working out of an RV one year.

They can't afford to check their grammar. You think they can afford to give their employees benefits? You expect the poor CEO to take a pay cut to pay for all of this? You'll just have to go to poor Timmy Executive and tell him he's not getting that second yacht for Christmas this year.

Nothing says “million-dollar company” more than a printed-out email pinned to a corkboard.
a million for a company is not that much though
Absolutely not, but the wording suggests that she wanted to use it to portray the company as particularly valuable.
yeah, can't take it seriously when they can't even differentiate your and you're

Hire enough staff that a few missing makes no difference to operations.
You're a million dollar company. Act like it.
Also, pretty sure my company got sold for a lot more than that and we're amateur as fuck.
I've worked with Fortune 100 companies that were total Mickey Mouse outfits.
I got sued by a big supplier over literally nothing, after I had refused to honor an illegal clause in a contract (which literally would have put me out of business, so it was a serious issue). They couldn't sue me for that, so they claimed I hadn't returned some rented equipment, which was a lie. But they said that I better pay up ($10K), because who did I think the judge was going to believe, some loser (their lawyer's word), or a Fortune 500 company? I didn't say it, but in MY county, I doubted the judge was going to favor the big corporation.
When we got to court, I had my lawyer ask me about my new supplier's inventory control system, and explained how the new system had bar codes, and every piece of gear is carefully tracked. The company that was suing me, couldn't even tell the court how many they had in stock, how many they rented out, etc.
The judge looked at the Plaintiffs, and said, "This is the most amateurish inventory control system I've ever seen. I don't understand how you got to be a Fortune 500 company by doing business this way. You expect me to tell this man to pay you $10,000, when you don't even know if the equipment is actually missing?"
She found for me, AND made them pay my legal fees. After two years of worry, it was one of the most satisfying days of my life.

This is great, but at the end of the day, they still harassed you with their bs lawsuit, and they still gave you 2 years of stress. Justice would be them getting counter-sued and you getting compensation for psychological trauma. (even though you will never get your health back 100% from a process like that.)

I am not a million dollar company I am a wage slave that gets treated like a disposable sack of shit by said Million Dollar Company. And I won’t be sacrificing my or my family’s health for their benefit.
Don't forget your coworkers you'd be exposing to your illness as well.

We are a million-dollar company. Let's act like one.
Okay so that means you'll schedule several people to be on-call, right?
Right? I work for an actual megacorp and our policy is almost the exact opposite on every point.
Sick workers make more sick: don't work and feel better faster. Distracted workers makes mistakes and cause problems: don't work and take care of your kid. Rested workers work better: take the time around the holidays off entirely. Productivity is crap then anyway and with so many vacations it's easier to plan around a block where nothing happens than to deal with random teams having unpredictable delays. Car broken? Expense a Lyft. We have a corporate account and your ride to work is a rounding error compared to the sales visits.
If you're going to invoke money you should actually understand how big companies function and view money.

"we are a million dollar company, you have no choice but to come in and make your $90 on this day"
Ya ok. If we are a million dollar company then where's my share?
Fuck that mentality.

We had a guy call in one day saying he couldn’t make it as he was having car problems. Boss says he didn’t even know he had a car. Guy replies: I don’t. That’s the problem.
Hot take: a million dollar company is a small company. The owner better stop acting like his company is something exceptional

No, "your sick" makes perfect sense because it will become their sick when that employee brings it into work. Everyone can have the sick that way 👍

Million dollar company sounds impressive, but I don't think that is impressive. Like twenty employees already imply a million or more in expenses annually, and require corresponding revenue to sustain.

Organize, unionize!
Making people come to work while sick hurts the company in the long run. It makes more workers sick and less productive

"We are a million dollar company"
- Doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're".
- Can't pay for parental leave.
- Can't pay for sick day benefits.
- Can't give employees a decent wage to afford transport that doesn't break down.

This would just make me call off out of pure spite
I couldn't agree more. Acting like a million dollar company is important.
A million dollar company would recognize that reliable, continuous production and sales is more important to growth than the occasional hickup or a few extra bucks in the payroll budget. Thus, the million dollar company would hire sufficient staff that an occasional absence, even at a critical moment, would not harm production or sales.
And a million dollar company would recognize that hiring sufficient staff is a wiser and more cost effective strategy than a possible labor lawsuit along with the associated bad PR.
Nah, you're thinking of a hundred-plus-million dollar company. Being understaffed and disastrously managed is about right for a million dollar company.

I feel like Jenny is the kind of person where if anyone would ever decide to string her up from a tree that loads of people would come to watch and nobody would cut her down.
Everybody would just watch and feel a weight lifted from their shoulders

I'm getting flashbacks of the management team at the Home Depot I worked at briefly in my college years. Worst job I've ever had. Management treated us in with absolute disdain, honestly shameful to talk to other people in that manner regardless of the situation.
For someone in a supervisory / managerial role to post a notice like this, it's a sure sign things are completely rotten all the way to the top. I feel sorry for the folks that truly feel like they need that job.
Not even for the arrogance or lack of a weekend; but for the poor grammar and spelling. I don't wanna work for a moron.
