Small business owners are the absolute worst. I worked for a few in my youth and they feel so entitled to exploit labour and get legit mad when they can't?
I took one guy to the labour board for unpaid wages, not even run-of-the-mill exploitation, and I thought he was going to get violent in the mediation π¬
I had one get a $12M bonus for the three stores they owned while telling me they canβt afford a raise or full time because things are tight for everyone
Then left the check on the desk after doing an e-deposit or whatever - then leaving for the day at 12:30
Lol what's most hilarious about this is that if they are getting a bonus it implies that they are not actually small business owners, they are at best franchisees. So the business outsourced the risk.
