We’ve got one colleague who likes to calculate those things. They changed overtime rules a bit. When they asked him to do some work early in the morning for reaching the targets, he refused. When the boss asked for details he sent an excel sheet with all the overtime company and tax rules in it. It turns out you only earn $5 net for coming in at work at o-dark-hundred.
Of course that sheet spread rapidly and management is now very surprised they can’t find anybody to come in early.
I work in retail and my manager always goes on about how we need to “SMASH” our targets and make sure the store does well.
I couldn’t give a fuck if the store does well or not, I get paid the same minimum wage either way.
And when the store smashes the target the manager gets a nice bonus, and the employees who actually did anything can be happy with a free pizza slice.
Someday even that free pizza slice will be a distant memory. It will be replaced with ‘not receiving a penalty’ 🫠
Beating the shit out of us is cheaper than pizza, but it’s hard to say what they will do if they can get away with it…
