“Efficient Workers Get Punished With More Work”: 30 Times This Instagram Account Tastefully Called Out Corporate Greed

Lol I got 7 exceeds expectations, the most in our department, more than my manager... I got a 2% raise... in a 7% inflation year... when minimum wage went up for entry level gov workers and is more than I make... I've worked there for 6years...

These are the right questions to ask. Noted.

the other side: Postal , union 'workers' Hide, I saw one standing up, sleeping. 6 were handcuffed and taken out for stealing. Next day came back and got two more.. Punching people in that stayed home and farmed, GM, unions Kalamazoo, Mi, would hide and sleep. Even the union workers got tired of it so they would paint their shoes red while they were sleeping so the foreman could see what they did..Two things ALWAYS HAPPENED WHEN A COMPANY WAS UNIONIZE.. THE THIRD QUITE OFTEN.. PRODUCTION WENT DOWN. COST WHEN UP, 3RD,, OFTEN THE COMPANY LAID PEOPLE OFF, THEY LOST THEIR JOB AND EVEN THE COMPANY WENT OUT OF BUSINESS..

No, the other monkeys would murder then eat him before consuming his banana hoard. Food for thought...

Chimpanzees have also been known to band together to kill the one hoarding the food..sometimes even resorting to cannibalism after they've killed him.

Incorrect and misleading comparison. Comparing a monkey hoarding bananas while others starve to people with a lot of money is ridiculous. Maybe if that monkey made a deal with the other monkeys to bring him a shiny rock in exchange for a Banana, allowing both of them to get something they wanted, it'd be more accurate.

Oh but humans do that as well. We did it quite often through the course of history. Currently we just seem not to reach the critical point when rich become food. But eventually it will happen and the longer it takes to reach that point - the bloodier it will be.

Monkeys would never put up with that behavior. They're not stupid.

Let's shout this one from the rooftops, please.

Worked at a restaurant when the manager took leave for a few months. During that time we operated without any real management only ourselves, and we improved efficiency, customer relations, improved the cocktail menu, oh and nearly double our customer base. Then she came back. Within 4 weeks we lost business, mainly because if it got too busy (for her, she didn't do anything, period) she would refuse to seat people then run and hide, only to emerge occasionally to see if they were all gone. She gave her notice after another 4 weeks, and we thought everything would be fine, But Noooo. Instead of picking any one of five people that could handle the job the owner opted to hire an accountant whom had work in a restaurant once 6 years prior. After her being hired she proceeded take 3 of her first four weeks on vacation, and then over the next four weeks took another two weeks of vacation and then said in 3 months I'm going on maternity leave. I left and the place closed 6 weeks later.

I can relate … I ran my electronics department for 6+ months. We never missed a quota and everyone was happy. While... the company was interviewing men for the supervisors position. I applied for the job and was turned down because … I was a woman. This was in the '80's. I was a "Lead" but couldn't be a supervisor. However... I trained many men to 'supervise' my department.

at the company I worked for, a manager that was fortunate enough to inherit a fine -tuned crew would be treated as if he created the crew from thin air! That supe would be sent to lower performing crews to 'get them up to speed'. That new group did NOT improve and that supe was blamed for their poor performance. The performance had not changed since his arrival. Gee, how could THAT happen? He 'fixed' the last crew. Ummm, no, they were already great at the job, he was just lucky...

Why would you punish anyone from that performing team?

Nope. Wont' happen. Ever. One (in theory) contributes to the raise in profits while employee salaries is always an expense. Any CEO proposing raise in expenses over raise in profits will be out faster than a cork from the Champaign bottle.

That's the absolute truth!

And stop paying execs 7 figures while cutting payroll to the staff that actually makes sales and keeps the income flowing.

People underestimate the power of ads to bring in money. They may have paid 6.5M for a 30 sec ads during superbowl, but it will get shared for weeks on social medias, people will talk about it. No one talks about regular TV ads or those you see on YouTube, but they do about superbowl ads.

No one is owed a "living wage". You have to be worth it to earn it. Your poor life choices are not the problem of your employer. I worked hard and earn well. It's not rocket science.

And rich people can burn in hell and the world will thrive more.

And some bosses still do not get it.

Truck drivers make $100k a year. I wouldn't put them on the lowest paid people platform, and they basically kept this country running during this.

more 'WOE IS ME' stories.. if it wasn;t for those who work harder/smarter to invest in a business or come up with a better mouse trap..there would be a company to have a job..Never was hired by anyone poorer than me.

*It collapses when you turn it off. Like literally anything else. Also, planes crash when you turn them off mid-flight. The grass is green. The sky is blue. Good catch. lol.

well that backfired hard. But I guess they remove that type of posts rather quickly in order to protect the brand.

Oof.

When I was laid off because Studebaker union employees would call 'wildcat Strikes (people would hire and have buddies puch them in while they stayed home and farmed) I got tired of working 80 hours + one week and laid off the next.. so I joined the navy.. Spent my 21st birthday on the Battleship New Jersey.. Got out, honorable discharge, went to college on the GI-Bill, because an editor of a Dog magazine..More than one way to handle your situation.

Unions have destroyed many a company.....I don't blame them for not wanting that kind of trouble. Starbucks has a fair compensation plan. If you don't think so, work somewhere else.

Unions are garbage, so yeah. Good call on them firing you.

Contract workers have almost no rights yet do the work of regular employees in most cases. It’s mostly a scam. This person is a boss who will always have people begging to be on this team in the future.

This is amazing!

A boss who actually cares, how rare is that?

This is a sad story, but still an amazing one.

Wonder how many people who complain and when promoted can't handle to job.. Complain about not being promoted but don't take classes to improve opportunities.. " wouldn't want to be a boss... too much stress..

Nope! Gimmie more money! Everything else went up in price anyway.

Putting the dividing line at $40,000 tells me you're rich but, we certainly admire your Marxist benevolence.

So if the price of eggs goes up, they charge more for them. If the price of gas goes up, it costs more. If the price of health insurance goes up the company charges more for services. So yes increases in spending are accompanied with increases in pricing. Increase wages will increase pricing. This is so they can year over year show increases in profit, so they can payout to shareholders, so their stocks increase in price, so people will buy their stocks. It is a vicious circle and until greed, profits, stocks are addressed there will be no meaningful increase in wages.

they need to raise the prices so their % of increase for this year is higher than last year, because GOBFORBID (yeah i meant to spell it that way) they ONLY make a 18% increase instead of 20%

So true! What did I miss in math class in school?

Again.....stop shopping in these places. Folks, these companies succeed ONLY IF THE MARKET CONTIUES TO PAY THE PRICE THEY ASK. Vote with your money. Make your own coffee for a month!! Make your own lunch!! You should not be eating at McDonalds anyway..

That's because people are bunch of SHEEPS. No matter how much brand-name companies raise their prices, people will line up, buy and pay. Target companies with wide-scale boycott and companies will fall in line. But that won't happen because ...baaaaaa...
