It’s the first time ever i see one of these comics made by this artist w the girl not wearing a mask is this from ages before when there wasn’t a pandemic?
I always book my vacations out months in advance, and pay for stuff for discounts (don’t know if the discount part works anymore, post-COVID).
Had a Exec VP demand I cancel my vacation once for an “Emergency”. I told him I’d be happy to if the company would make good the cost of the tickets, hotels, rental car, etc. that were all paid in advance.
Despite the ’emergency’, the Fortune 100 company I worked for couldn’t find 3.5k to reimburse me. I had my vacation.
Similar things happen at my work; my works that of which I go in in the morning and get a company vehicle and I’m out on the road all day. Sometimes I get back at clocking out time and a supervisor or super intendant will be like “can you stay and cover for so and so, they had to go home” and it’s just like “no?”. They imply I’m supposed to share their concern as a grunt employee who has no shares or stake in the company. Sir/Mam, im hired to work Monday to Friday 8-4 and that’s all im doing. Unless my pay increases to match I’m not paid to have concern for the companies operations.
I love how bosses seem to do this to people so damn often and expect them to say “YES, we will totally cancel our vacation we spent money on to help out your workplace you understaffed”. No, dude, that shit isn’t going to happen, people aren’t as easy to manipulate as you think they are. lol
“You’ll need to cancel your vacation”
“Nope, we can’t”
“You won’t have a job to come back to”
“That’s cool, we quit”
“What? After all I’ve done for you!”
I once had a boss ask me to talk to the bride and groom whose wedding I was the best man in if they would move their wedding date. The day before the wedding.
Of course, they are driving the the current staff away by overworking them. “Cancel your vacation” will backfire of them. Staffing its management’s problem.
I always put my requests in at the start of the year with the occasional request a month or two in advance for pop-ups, rarely a week or two before. I figure this gives them plenty of notice that I WILL be off for x amount of time and they have plenty of time to figure their shit out. When it gets closer to my vacation or days off, if they say anything along the lines of “you can’t have those days” I tell them that I put in waaay in advance and have already paid for all my hotels and other expenses so unless they’re going to pay me back for the cancelation fees and back pay my now wasted time looking into all the planning then I’m taking my time off and will see them when I return. I don’t request my big vacations at the start of the year for nothing, I have to plan well in advance to make sure the hotel still has rooms and to book stuff in winter when prices are typically cheaper.
“I’d be happy to cancel my vacation because you can’t function without me. Now, seeing as how you’ve admitted you can’t function without me, let’s discuss my imminent 30% raise in salary.”
It’s not that there’s not enough staff, it’s that corporate refuses to hire more than 20% of the staff required to do the workload then gets mad someone quits, blaming everyone else for being weak.
These companies will die horrid deaths and I am watching it with popcorn.
I worked in sales for a major soda company. We planned all vacations for the staff in January and would still be asked to cancel. My first vacation, I took my work phone…just incase anyone need help for my route, what I got was 3 phone calls in 4 days asking if I could come back early.
Next vacation, I left my work phone at home and refused to answer any call or text from a work number.
As I say to my supervisors, staffing is a management problem not an employee problem! I’m sorry that so and so is out sick and someone else has an “ emergency” but I’m entitled to my time off so I guess you’re going to have to “ adapt” Now that’s a word that management probably doesn’t know the meaning of!
Umm…
Her coffee cup knows there’s rebellion going about… And it maliciously approves!
I clicked on this to see if the punchline was hiding in a part of the image we couldn’t see. nope
Yeah I’m not “requesting” shit. I’m informing you that I’m going on vacation.
Your lack of staffing planning does not necessitate an emergency on my part
The part where he tells her to talk to her boyfriend should have been suffient for a no
It’s the first time ever i see one of these comics made by this artist w the girl not wearing a mask is this from ages before when there wasn’t a pandemic?
I don’t get it. Whats the joke? I’m defo missing something obvious
Can someone please explain how this is funny?

And that’s how it’s done.
We’re so busy we need you to do more for less pay. Also, things have slowed down and you’re fired.
What’s the punchline here? I’m missing the funny
I love how her coffee mug is irate too

Why is this in “funny”?
This is funny?
Not enough staff and telling the boss you don’t care.
O K … ?
Ha.
Are some of you that new to the internet? God damn…

I quit not long after

You people are allowed vacation?

Fuckem. take YOUR time, if you don’t, they will.
“Sorry, we can’t get a refund on our flight, hotels, etc.”

Its not a request. Stop giving them power with words like “request”. It’s a notification that you will not be at work.
