Agreed. I’d also expect a boss in a bind to offer extra compensation for time scheduled like that. I dont see any offers of double pay or even just time and a half. Thats undignified and disrespectful.
Noooo you always have to be ready to run to your minimum wage job at a moments notice even though your employer will send you out on your ass the very second the numbers start looking red!!
I know right? Imagine this minimum wage worker not dropping everything to come save the day for his manager who had poor planning and a lack of insight.
Your assumption is that the manager is being paid and treated well by the company. I promise you they are not - they are getting heat from both their leadership and employees. The manager should absolutely have empathy for their employees (and never ask for help in this way), but the fact that you can’t even fathom what the manager is going through lacks of empathy just as much.
You think workers haven’t tried? You think people are born jaded? The only reason I have no empathy for my manager is because of how many times they have lied to me and taken advantage of my compassion.
Then general lack of empathy on both sides is astounding.
Wishing someone good luck is a show of empathy, not a lack thereof.
I don’t think not volunteering to come in on your day off when your boss hasn’t even asked you to do so yet indicates a “lack of empathy.”

Nobody wants to work anymore a bloo bloo bloo!!1
ikr the worker is literally showing empathy. Personally I wouldn’t even have answered the text unless I needed the money.
They didn’t say that. But it might be empathetic to interpret their message in the obvious way and say, “I can’t cover”.
But that would require this not to be a fake screenshot made up as a joke, because it would ruin the joke.

Hard to give empathy to someone you never receive it from.
IKR, hense my first comment.

Ok, your situation sounds earned.
But generally it goes both ways, you don’t think managers are jaded from being burned by shitty workers?
My point is that everyone, on all sides, could benefit from seeing each other as a bit more human.
Then why is the lack of empathy astounding?
Touche. People are generally pretty shitty - especially to each other.
That is right! They are family and family help each other…
