I literally don’t get people sometimes

My buddy (56M) got a job offer at a very well-known and disliked retailer. He is currently the manager and soul worker of the dairy department (55 to 60 hours a week at $17.50 an hour). Instead of the minimum (at least by company policy) two at night to throw load and one for each opening and closing shift plus the dairy manager, it's just him. He shouldn't have to but most days he can absolutely keep up with it. With the job he was offered he would be dairy lead with one other person alongside eight employees. He would have to work one less hour a day and one less day a week. He would start at $19.75 an hour then go up to $21 an hour after their probationary period. The best part is instead of The Three Stooges (extremely lazy, history of incompetence and mega Karen) his…

The best part is instead of The Three Stooges (extremely lazy, history of incompetence and mega Karen) his direct “manager”(every different name for it) would be the fishing buddy he's had for half a decade. That company may have a VERY well deserved bad reputation but it's literally less work and more pay, best friend boss and less travel on his 94 Jeep is just icing on the cake if you ask me. I keep telling him take the new job and as soon as he gets it put in his 5 weeks of vacation here and a two week notice halfway through his vacation. Sure he would be going from a place with poor excuse for a union (his position doesn't give him union “benefits” but he still has to put up with their shit) to a place with effectively fucking policies, basically one pile of shit to the next. Even if only slightly, that next pile of shit is definitely better. Maybe it's just me but I would have gladly jumped ship and landed face first into that shining a pile of shit as soon as I got a wiff of it.
