There are literally two of us that work at my kitchen. We're both needed.
It's more than money. I'd need an extra set of hands to cover me, a set that's trained on our menu and able to feed over 1200 people, as I don't work a line, I work banquets, parties and wedding ect
Nuance. I keep pleasing for it. Not everyone can be at every protest.
So yes, as I said, it kills me to not be there, but like many people, I'm literally not in a position to
Your workplace has 2 weeks to find someone to cover that shift. Tell them to look into a contracting agency and grab a person for a day. What's your cashapp?
Two weeks isn't enough time to train someone to handle over 1200 people and our menu. I do not work a conventional kitchen, as I already said.
Stop acting like it's a simple solution just because you think you can throw money at me. You're just compounding how shitty I already feel about being in a situation I cannot control.
Back off. I make it to meetings and protests when I can and have stated multiple times I can't this time, and you are being completely obstuse about it.
Moving the goalposts makes it seem like you never wanted to go in the first place. Or maybe you've been beaten down by the system so much that you think this one day at your job is more important than the government being dismantled?
No, you're just being an absolute asshole about this. And I'm blocking you to avoid further harassment.
My kids keep a roof over their heads. Get fucked.
That one person screwing over their coworkers by attending this one protest isn't going to be the tipping point that saves America. Gain some perspective and have some empathy.
Tell that to the capitalist overlords that won't let Americans take a fuckin day off to speak their voice.
I know it's not fuckin easy to stand up to the man, especially when the people around you won't stand with you. But lord, arguing against standing up isn't fucking helping anyone
And I don't believe you're helping anyone by singling out one person to blame here.
I'm not singling him out, I'm offering to send him money lmao
I'm not American and don't really understand your system. What I would like to say is, being in a situation where you can't get a day off or be sick (because thats the same problem) is not healthy. I hope you find a job where you can actually take a personal day once in a while.
Welcome to America. That is the reality most people are under.
If you don't understand our system you shouldn't be telling me what to do about it.
I can get days off. I have plenty during slow season. I have sick days. You need to stop acting like you know more about my situation than you do.
I cannot reschedule this day. There's too many people and it's too short of notice
I'm proud of my job and the work I've put into it. I love it.
Back. Off.
I wasn't even the person you where arguing with and I was actually trying be nice, but you chose to be an asshole...
Have fun in your third world country, I hope you don't have kids, because not being able to take a day off when your kid is sick sounds really fucking terrible
