Rather than "we're short staffed tonight," maybe try "Hey, want to pick up a shift tonight?" The passive aggressive tone kills me lol
Nothing wrong with asking someone if they want to work, but you've gotta be ok if they say no when they're not scheduled
The reason the manager didn’t do that is because this is a screenshot of a fake conversation.
Oh no, what happened to Buster?
He got blown up a few times, among other things. I don't think the original survived Mythbusters
Well, its real because I was the manager!
At my wife's union job, if they are understaffed, they send a text blast needing more folks.
And here's where it gets awesome. They bid. Sometimes it's a flat extra $100-500. Other times, it's DOUBLE your hour wage.
Unions are pretty awesome.
That's how it should work for all shifts IMO.
Hell Yeah, Unions FTW!

You know what's going to be asked next, so here's the response:
"Sorry homie, I've been drinking"
In my restaurant there's a four drink minimum before you can start cooking or serving customers.
I got the least serious bollocking of my life from the manager of the bar I worked in when the exec team of the bar I worked in bought me 12 jagerbombs in a single shift
"If you need extra hire, a friend is looking for a job, I could get you in touch"
Actually used this once, and it wasn't a lie or stretching the truth
Good call, never lie to your boss. Crack open a cold one as soon as the first text comes in
Youre a manager. manage to get your ass in there
✏️ downvoted by a manager apparently
lol, who let a manager onto the the fediverse?!
Gotta get that instance mass-defederated ASAP before we have a problem.
don't do that, just add them to a shadowban list maintained by an out-of-touch psychopath.
If the manager is out on the floor doing work, then who is manning the office and sipping drinks?
At work, I don’t appreciate implications. It leads to mistakes and misunderstandings. Bad for business.
implications
The proper thought to have when an employer says they're short staffed is "Why didn't you hire enough people?" not "Gee, I should chip in!"
"If you have time to text me you have time to work"
The … always gets me
Yep, the text is great, but that's the punchline.
I was a retail manager when my mom told me she had cancer I said “I don’t know what to say… except… you’re still coming in tho right “
It really bugs me that they spell good luck as a single word.
It's because they've been drinking
"Holy cow, well, good thing you're a manager! Manage it."
Or you could just not reply.
That’s what I’ve always done, wait until the shift is nearly over and be like “just saw this, hope it all worked out!”
Yesss, “sorry I just woke up! Did you manage to find someone?”
Lucky for me I'm too poor to have a phone number anymore!
