The idea that it's cheaper to have people get OT than to get newhires is really stupid. Like, you'll be spending atleast 1.5x the money to hold your people after and they'll be less productive for having worked more.
That's an easy fix, make everyone assistant managers on salary. No OT that way. Only small bump in pay but a huge bump in responsibilities. Everyone quits, they get to hire new ppl for less pay. Been this way for eons.
Actually, it is more expensive to hire more people than to charge OT. Especially after Obamacare. While I was working as a supervisor at Walmart (without the official pay, because then they had to give me full time, which includes insurance and more taxes). A lot of people think companies are just evil vile entities (they are), but people don’t understand it’s because our government incentivizes it. “If you have over x amount of people, you must provide y.” “If people work a minimum Of x hours, they must be full time.” “If employee is full time, insurance is mandated.” The first thing Walmart did was cut all non-full time employees hours. I remember going weeks of 32-40 hours, then months of 12-20 hours/week. Not to mention that costs started sky rocketing everywhere.
You're assuming they're getting OT. Even though it would be uber illegal, I'm guessing the peon employees (no offense to lower-level employees, I'm saying that's how management thinks of them) are probably salaried. I had to stand up to my boss for all of my employees who were front line on a 24x7x365 helpdesk. We asked for volunteers to work Christmas Day, which was a paid holiday for the entire company. My boss wanted to pay them 1.5x instead of either 2x or giving them a floating holiday to use later. Had to actually use a freaking whiteboard to demonstrate that he was asking them to work four hours for free. There was the paid holiday, which they would be getting, so that's 8 hours they were owed. Then they needed to be paid at least the full rate for their 8 hour shifts. Add those together and that equals 2x. If they only paid them 1.5x, then they were basically working for four hours for free. After involving HR and threatening to complain to Wage & Hour he finally agreed to pay them for the holiday and their shifts. I tried pushing for their shifts to be paid at 1.5x holiday pay, which would have been 2.5x, as a thank you for working the holiday, but that one got smacked down before it was halfway out of my mouth. None of this affected my personal life or salary, as they would only be calling me on Christmas if there was an actual emergency since we had enough volunteers, and I was salaried anyway. But I wasn't going to let upper management jerk my employees around like that. I was not the most popular person in the company with the owner since I knew labor laws and used them as a club when necessary. Several months after that Christmas incident, they figured out a way to make my position redundant. Best layoff ever! I couldn't quit because I wouldn't get unemployment, but being laid off was awesome! I took a couple mental-health months to recover from that place, then landed a position making over twice as much $$$, half the drive, and better benefits. Shortly after starting, we transitioned to remote work and got rid of the lease on our office space, so that became zero drive.
If there's no OT, don't do it and start applying for a new job immediately and leave on the dot 8 hours in. If you're salaried, idk what to tell you. Why would you EVER go salaried with anything less than a 6 figure annual pay?
This is when it's good to keep 3-6mos salary in your bank acct and then just work your 8 hrs and if they let you go, no worries. And when they complain that you aren't doing extra or OT -- just tell them its not in your budget to do so.
Nah, when Managers say they aren’t participating then I’m mentally checked out of the job, looking for a new one. I’d rather be apart of a company that cared than this
Damn right they do! Corporations like that aren't worth the papers they're written on. Like part-time employees having to work;what; thirty-six hours or more,and NOT getting paid for it? Like Walmart Corporation always does,how they treat their own employees and employers,and their disregard for following the overtime LAWS - not mere rules, policies or whatever they try illegally to enforce. It's nothing but an excuse to cover up of what really goes on INSIDE Walmart stores in just about in every department..in there. Throughout America and Canada. It's ridiculously absurd.
"If the CEO is taking large bonuses during a period in which we don't have the payroll to support an adequate staff, how long does management expect the business to operate before the business is completely insolvent? "
Yes,he or she certainly does!! And unlike America,in China,have enough illegal child labor to do the work for them.

Currently happening at my job. The owner cuts costs everywhere so they have more money. So there's BARELY enough staff. And one quit last Friday and me and another girl are Currently working off our final week. And another person is leaving in like 2 weeks.
looks at my current ob were 8 people are quitting 2 weeks how much you want to bet that they keep the positions opena nd work everyone else harder pretty much guaranteed
How does the company plan to pay those "extra shifts" if there's no money in the budget? The CEOs just threw this manager to the wolves. I'll give the company another eleven days until the employees (all female) show up to a padlocked, lights-out barricaded empty building.
If they have positions already on the books that are empty then they did budget for the person being there. Not hiring a replacement for funded positions is misusing these funds for bonuses for management and owners.
Do your usual work, and if they want you to stay longer, get overtime pay. And if they get you to do other roles, renegotiate your contract (and pay) and make sure they add it to your job description. If you're in a position where you can quit, at least.
Managers should lead by example and not ask hourly employees to work extra hours for free and not do it themselves. Of course, nobody should work for free.
Omg this is THE TRUTH!!!! The reason companies are short staffed… is because they want to be short staffed. Either that or the company is really that trash. It’s not a people problem, ITS A COMPANY PROBLEM.
The managers are exempt employees. As such, they should work overtime hours right alongside their underlings (ala George Washington style🧐) because they won't be given overtime pay. Works because it fits within the budgetary constraints. Also, it always confused me about open job requisitions. Does HR contact people knowing that they will most definitely not be filling the job? Do they do this so they look like they are checking all boxes to look good to the EEOC? Love these toons👍💯🤑
Three things. 1. Managers DEFINITELY NEED TO participate in these types of things. 2. The CEO can take a bonus whenever he or she wants. That person carries a lot more risk than anyone else. 3. If the CEO IS ABLE to take a bonus, then the employees shouldn’t have to work for free.
"We don't have it in the budget to hire anyone." Likely because if they hired more people they would reach the threshold where they would have to provide their employees with health insurance.
I don't know how accurate this is. Managers are usually salary, and are the first to be expected to stay until the job is done without more pay. Companies most often abuse the managers. At least at the companies I have worked.
Generally the new managers especially the ambitious ones are often squeezed out of any labor the company can get. Meanwhile most older managers that are somewhat stuck in their job role while follow the videos example.
Its always been wild to me that the people that do the actual job the business exists for are valued the last by the company in terms of respect and financial compensation for time. Should be the other way round.
Since the company is requiring everyone to stay late with no extra pay, all the employees should stand up and walk out. Then they would have to hire more people
This is a perfect example of what these jobs do to you they wear you down to nothing the CEO gets his bonus sits up pretty and then turns around and tell you what you don't deserve and he's not paying taxes you pay more taxes than he does these jobs think we're all fools
That's funny and true! I used to work at Wellstar in the ER. The entire department quit and left me by myself. They didn't care, no rush to hire and they definitely weren't coming in to help...
This is happening at my job now. They don't want to hire, they don't even want yo buy supplies, but every othere day there's a promotion in the corporate sect. This is 1000% true
Whenever they say they dont have the resources....they just want to keep costs low before next earnings so the stock price goes up . The CEOs bonus is based on stock price
Basically she is admitting that the business is not profitable and cannot fund its basic activities either due to mismanagement or changing market conditions.
Here’s the thing, if you have enough work for 6 people to stay busy and can only afford to hire 5 people, something is seriously wrong with the financial structure of the company.
"It's not in the budget." TRANSLATION: "The CEO getting a $5 million bonus instead of a $10 million bonus so you guys can be fairly compensated is not an option."
If its not in the budget to hire more people, then how are you gonna pay my overtime?

I don't know how accurate this is. Managers are usually salary, and are the first to be expected to stay until the job is done without more pay. Companies most often abuse the managers. At least at the companies I have worked.
Generally the new managers especially the ambitious ones are often squeezed out of any labor the company can get.
Meanwhile most older managers that are somewhat stuck in their job role while follow the videos example.
Go Veronika 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 never join the military
If you don’t own it you can’t complain. Make your money and build something for yourself at the same time.
Whoever writes these is very very good at eliciting a pain response from me.
And this is why Gen Z doesn’t want to work.
Its always been wild to me that the people that do the actual job the business exists for are valued the last by the company in terms of respect and financial compensation for time.
Should be the other way round.
Nope.never. these videos are great!when I hear family and teamwork I run as well
Since the company is requiring everyone to stay late with no extra pay, all the employees should stand up and walk out. Then they would have to hire more people
If you're the manager, I suggest you manage to find yourself in the trenches with us.
This is so true, happened to me many times
yeah you'll be more short staffed when you see staff exiting because management doesn't know wtf they're doing-m byeee
This is a perfect example of what these jobs do to you they wear you down to nothing the CEO gets his bonus sits up pretty and then turns around and tell you what you don't deserve and he's not paying taxes you pay more taxes than he does these jobs think we're all fools
This happened in my workplace just last two weeks. I was not having it😂
I’m down for that OT.
I have experienced this
lol this the managers at Wellstar right here
That's funny and true! I used to work at Wellstar in the ER. The entire department quit and left me by myself. They didn't care, no rush to hire and they definitely weren't coming in to help...
I had an old boss, who is now a good friend of mine, who used to say, and by we, I mean you.
"Didn't our CEO just give himself a raise of $4 Mil in bonus" LOL ☕🤨
Keep reminding us Corporations are SELFISH
Yep that what companies do to lay more work on employees without compesation!
This is happening at my job now. They don't want to hire, they don't even want yo buy supplies, but every othere day there's a promotion in the corporate sect. This is 1000% true
Whenever they say they dont have the resources....they just want to keep costs low before next earnings so the stock price goes up . The CEOs bonus is based on stock price
😂 Veronica can only get a job at the bottom of the barrel companies.
Here’s what they do. Short staffed work OT. After the overseas Vendor staff has been trained. No more OT and be grateful you still have a job.
Basically she is admitting that the business is not profitable and cannot fund its basic activities either due to mismanagement or changing market conditions.
Here’s the thing, if you have enough work for 6 people to stay busy and can only afford to hire 5 people, something is seriously wrong with the financial structure of the company.
A frontline ask, will be met with a frontline declination.
These are so funny
The budget only allows for workers to be exploited.
YOU CAN FIX BEING SHORT STAFFED BY LOWERING THE FTE COUNT IN THE LABOR CHART! IT WORKED FOR MY COMPANY JUST FINE AND NOW EVERYTHING IS FUCKED!😂😂😂
"It's not in the budget."
TRANSLATION: "The CEO getting a $5 million bonus instead of a $10 million bonus so you guys can be fairly compensated is not an option."
Sounds like my old job. Used to have 8 people on a shift and it dwindle down to 2. And it wasnt because it got less busy
The ceo gets a yacht and we can’t afford to live. Why are we giving the company our time?
Sounds like they work at Amazon
I wish there was a part two to this.
