multifarious ⟷ in character

Fun trip, but it's good to be home.

As an employer, yes. I can vouch for this. I'm willing to take the hit of a sixteen hour day here and there because I know that my employees would do the exact same thing for me if I needed or wanted it. And while I only have two employees right now (pssst, we're hiring if you can show valid legal identification showing you're eighteen or older), I've managed at least twenty over the past four years and every last one of them treated being at work like a privilege in spite of the fact that they're literally doing one of the most awkward things people can do to earn a paycheck. I'm pretty sure it's because I don't ride their asses every five minutes. I trust them to do their jobs and if they can do that, they're welcome to have fun and dick around during or afterward. And if they need vacation time because they don't feel well or their bff/significant other/family member got sent back or they just need a mental health break from the parade of pervs hiding in the smaller cross section of normal people we have for a customer base, then they should take it. Who the hell am I to dictate whether someone should be at work? I don't know how they're feeling or whether having them there any given day will help or hinder my business in respect to that. You treat your employees like people and they'll be there when you need them. Always.

So hey retail hell, especially during the holidays? Take a page out of Adult World and Netflix's books (side note: Netflix has some of the best customer service out there and I like to think that we do, too. Probably not a coincidence). Your attrition rates will plummet, trust me, and it'll be worth it.

Just had to get that out of my system because I was legit in the middle of reading that article when a couple of college kids were perusing in here and bitching about having to miss Christmas with their families because they couldn't get the time off work and that really pissed me off for them. Anyway, sorry, carry on.

((whoops, blank post is blank!))

Is this for real -
This can't be real -
There's nothing there, it's like it never even -
