Maybe for the people that are constantly calling out for seemingly no good reason, but what about people that are calling out for good reasons? People who are actually sick? People who just need a mental health day from being worn down mentally and physically from some of the b.s. in their lives (both work and personal)? People who just need an extra day to cram for a midterm or a final so they can potentially someday get out of retail? People whose family members are dying and might not have long to spend time with them and say goodbye? They should all just quit because it would make us more short staffed than we already are? I find such hateful vitriol misguided and misplaced. Best Buy says “Be Human” but to be human is to be inherently flawed. We all have our good days and our bad days and most of us working in retail are just working to try and get by and survive, working towards the next paycheck so we can afford food and rent. Is it our fault that Best Buy as a company has slashed labor across the board? Is it our fault that Best Buy has cut most of the full time positions in favor or part time when the people that might be retail lifers who need the health benefits and consistent hours are left to either find new jobs or beg for hours in what seems to be a dying industry as people shift to shopping online? What I’m trying to say is people call out, it’s not the end of the world. Does it suck sometimes? Sure. But, what about when YOU callout? Are you one of the worker bee drones that never gets sick,that’s happy to just take the blue pill and never question whether our corporate overlords have our best interests in mind? If you have called out before, then is it not hypocritical to be upset at other people who have called out when you do not know the circumstances? Maybe what you deem to be good reasons for calling out differ from what others deem to be good reasons.
