You wonder why people question why? and why people quit or dont give a **** if they get fired? Its because people like myself for 80hrs and their bi-weekly check is $550. Thats a load of ****, do I have respect for my elders? Yes I do, Do i have respect for my bosses who bark off the orders and make 100k a year? No I have 0 respect for them. To come to me and complain how sales are down and we only made 150k this month, while they are paying me 8.40 an hr is a complete insult to me and my intelligence, it does the exact opposite and makes me not give a **** about the business or doing anything for them.
There are good kids and bad kids. I 100% agree that these kids at first were probably trying to be funny, Ive seen many times kids go up to other guys and want to shake their hand because they have a gorgeous girlfriend, same thing, they are trying to be funny. But to say they are bad kids because of this is completely wrong.
Sales are down because he's simply a boss, not a leader.
True leaders build a TEAM that all works as one well-oiled machine for the single cause of whatever the business is promoting. They provide incentive to succeed, because let's face it: a business is more successful when the employees actually invest in the motions they're going through. How does an employee convince himself to invest? When the company invests in him. You truly get what you pay for. As long as you, the employee, prove profitable, you can name your price.
Bosses, on the other hand, bark orders at individuals expected to carry an unrealistic burden at a static level of compensation.
You need to find a new gig. But in the meantime, continue doing your best because a man's work is his signature on life. A man skillful in his work will stand before kings, not obscure men.
