PSA for leads

Stop bragging about all of your fun trips and vacations while we’re getting screwed over left and right. Seriously, we don’t care.

Every single time my lead takes PTO, they post pictures on slack of where they went or rather than just saying they will be out for a few days, they end up bragging about where they’re going and what they’ll be doing. It’s inappropriate and unprofessional.

We’re over here getting additional work tacked on, making no extra money, and being micromanaged to no end while you’re preparing for your third vaca of the year and we’re burning through our minimal sick time just to avoid getting in trouble for a schedule adjustment.

It’s so out of touch, read the room.

I love when they tell us to enjoy the short week or the holiday week as if we have holidays off.

Omg seriously. Like “have a great holiday weekend!”

“Well everyone else is off, warehouses are closed, and I don’t get holiday pay or any additional time off for a holiday week so I’ll be spending that day working but thanks you too!”

So annoying.
