Poor Perry is pulling a double today. He runs a store that’s about to be torn down to build back bigger. One employee was terminated recently and one quit to take care of child care needs. Their work week starts on Friday and at the end of today — Saturday — he’ll already have worked 32 hours.
He’s burning his candle at both ends…
Excuses.
Just in the past 2 days, one employee couldn’t do a shift because of a family emergency — the husband was struggling with their child. The double today is because the employee scheduled had to pick up their daughter in Fort Wayne. Wouldn’t you think you’d pick a different day/time or arrange for someone else to do that if scheduled to work? Nope.
Thing is… some help is better than none, so the risk of repercussion is zero.
And then businesses wonder why they can’t keep the good people?
No help from corporate for reliable ole’ Perry. They’re even dragging their feet on getting back with a background check for a new hire because of the holiday season (that translates to others are actually taking time off to spend with families). So he’s scanning other job opportunities in his limited time not at work. Do you blame him? Sure, he’s compensated well, but that’s far from everything.
Now you know: The hacker group anonymous tried to hack a Mexican cartel and had to back down after the cartel hired counter hackers to hunt them down.
