Here's something I learned the hard way after being heavily taken advantaged of at my previous company. This is a message to any and all managers & employers. I guarantee you with my heart & soul not a single person on this fucking planet is working for you 5-6 days a week because they like being in the office. Every single person is there for one reason and one reason only and that's MONEY. You gotta understand employees have absolutely no loyalty to you if you don't pay them well. If the competitors are offering 20% extra you'd bet your ass your entire staff will go work for the competition.

Personal I think our very small and low stakes consignment store I work at for minimum wage would do fine for two days if we were one person under staffed. I wanted the days off for a rave a few cities over that my friends and I have been planning for awhile (I didn’t tell my manager that lol). I’m only 21 and turn the legal drinking age over the pandemic in Canada so I haven’t had a lot of time…
