Screw that last panel. If you want workers to be on-call then pay them to be on-call.
Yeah... like, this is an ice cream store. It isn't life or death.
100% this.
My biggest hate for modern employers. Being on call isn't new. You want someone standing by to answer work related stuff you pay them stand by. Otherwise as far as work is concerned, you are hammered, stoned and in another country unless you're in the office. Unless you pay m...
Is this why all their locations appear to be closed on a beautiful Saturday afternoon?
I live right by the flagship store. They look open to me as of an hour ago.
Literally number one is "You must be desperate and exploitable. Because we sure as hell aren't going to incentivize you to show up for work. Only apply if this job is the difference between you being homeless and you living in a shitty apartment somewhere."
"Apply only if you REALLY need the money. Otherwise, if you plan to apply to save money in the future and expect a promotion for hard work and contributing to the company, apply elsewhere."
what’s crazy is you’ll sign up bc rent is due but then never get enough hours to make rent and then get on the bosses bad side bc you got a second job to make the rent
So "we discriminate"is their hiring strategy? I saw "you come to work because you're under duress and we will remind you of that every day"
Reminds me of that old Chris Rock bit about minimum wage [https://youtu.be/F_Fr1djc67U](https://youtu.be/F_Fr1djc67U)
The first one could really go either way, but the context of the last one definitely points in that direction
Every business owner in the US seems to think their business is the be all and end all, like the dogs.
It's all in the title: job giver / job provider. In their mind *they're* benevolent. They're being charitable in giving away *their* money. That's why they get so indignant when their own employees ask for things. They think the job is literally enough. Not the bare minimum.
Looks like they have deleted that Instagram story now.
Darn. That makes me so sad! s/
Ah! Of course they did.
Mandatory texting on unpaid time off. Sounds awesome.
"Cool boss, I clocked in to respond to this text, and I will clock out when you confirm receiving my response"
Group message work text? You sell fucking ice cream. There's no such thing as important let alone emergency in the ice cream cone biz. Nobody needs your ice cream. Nobody needs your text.
Seriously this post made me thankful that when I worked in coffee shops, texting didn't exist yet. If you need to tell me something, you better tell me before my shift ends because you're not seeing me again until my next shift.
There’s a fairly large chance that if I’m not responding to texts, I’m asleep. The only exceptions are my mother, SO, and minor-aged child. I’m not sacrificing my sleep to continue working past my shift - whether that’s food service or something else . If the douchecanoe Two ...
Seriously who do they think they are? If I refuse to group chat with people I’m RELATED TO, the hell if I’m gonna do it for my job at the ice cream shop
Lol it's ice cream. These people need to get a grip. Or are they going to pay $30+ an hour for that kind of help?
Nope, apparently it’s like $15 and you don’t always get the tips.
Always hilarious when low quality employers do nothing but whine and complain about the low quality of their employees. If you want better, than expect better fom yourselves. Do better, be better.
Bold of you to assume that working at an ice cream shop can pay rent.
They want employees who are adults that have rent and responsibilities, but simultaneously they want to pay them like teenagers working their first afterschool job.
Is that due to aloofness, arrogance or hubris?! Maybe all three?
I’d drive a considerable distance to visit literally any other ice cream shop
Came to see if this had been posted here yet, lol
Lol I beat you to it! I guarantee there will be another out-of-touch, exploitive business you can post soon! Cheers!!
The fuck you need an ice cream group chat for? 
If it WASNT my employer, I’d ask for an invite
Control. Plain & simple.
If you ever have to call off, it’s obviously your responsibility to find another “frozen dairy athlete” to cover your shift.
Little Rooster Energy
They sound like cocks, eh?
Lol. Get fucked. Look forward to them going out of business
It’s fucking ice cream. Just ice cream. Or is it really frozen dairy dessert?
Now it really could be the FROZEN "dairy" dessert. But who are the athletes here? Ice cream athletes or FROZEN Dairy Dessert athletes? I have no idea. Seems like a Two Roosters Ice Cream \[Frozen Dairy Dessert\] issue.
At a job interview: "It says your last position was 'frozen dairy athlete'?"
Yea, that's not gonna work for most adults so you'll be stuck with non bill paying teenagers who WILL call out and even quit in order to not miss time with their friends. Especially at an ice cream place. Are they paying $18+. First off you do not get to dictate anyone's pho...
Not to be confused with Two Cocks Brewery.
I don't understand the criticism of well informed business owners that are so inspiring that only they emphasize the fact that it's the roosters who supply the greatest contribution to ice cream.
Can't get any UDDERS in there, can they? :)
Very cringe 🤮
I think the word they were looking to in their name is cocks. Two cocks.
Actually, they CAN ghost texts messages from work.
Buddy you make ice cream not rocket parts.
Lol...the only time I'll be on-call is if you notify me.
With double time if I *choose* to come in and straight time when I’m “on-call”…to scoop ice cream.
I hope they continue to struggle to hire people. Talk about being completely unaware.
Gosh I hope they find what they're looking for
Group chat? Fuck that noise, you want on call you need to pay for on call
"work group chat" should never be a thing that includes bosses/managers
Burt Kreischer got skinny and opened an ice cream shop, however, he remains a shameless douche.
Just what you'd expect from a couple of cocks
I’m good
I'm like 85% sure they had AI generate this.
Two roosters Ice Cream sounds way too gay go be this boomer cringe.
These guys sling ice cream but act like they're firefighters or something, fuck outta here with that groupchat on call shit for a food retail job
What the hell do these guys think they are running? Dudes, it’s some ice cream shops, not the Marines. Get over yourselves.
You make ice cream, not rescue injured mountaineers. Have some perspective.
They need a good boycotting.
Why the hell would I respond "in a timely manner" to a work group chat text, while I'm not working? "We need someone to pick up afternoon shift on Saturday." "...No thanks." is as good as you'll get. Sorry.
"Hey! We run an ice cream shop, so no namby-pamby little weakling allowed! Tough guys only!"
If my job starts a group chat I better get paid for one full hour of work for any text sent or received. I'm a millennial and I approve this message.
They want wage slaves. They want you to be desperate enough to be at their beck and call because you are too scared to be out of a job. These people suck. Nowhere near nc but you can be damn sure I wouldn't be patronizing that place. We had a fairly newly opened restaurant...
Two dicks ice cream
Hire managers that are willing to cover shifts and make due with short staff consistently if you want to hire minimum wage manual laborers. Embrace the appeal of lines out the door. You don’t even have to be a good person to be better. All you have to do is pay one manager per...
Work texts from an Ice cream shop? LOL you gonna text me we are out of cookies and cream? Bruh, GTFOH. This isnt the Lehman Brothers where you are texting me about the incoming collapse of the housing market. Be fucking real.
Yeah that last one is fucked for sure. I told my boss straight up that my phone is set so when I leave work, teams and outlook go silent. If you want to reach me, you need to call me. If it’s not important enough for a one-on-one phone call, it can wait until I’m in next. I re...
I never thought in my lifetime that I would see the words "frozen dairy" and "athlete" in the same sentence. But here we are.
So can we tank their reviews? They certainly deserve it.
It's Ice Cream. You aren't important. Calm the fuck down.
They deleted the post and “limited” comments but I’d bet company culture is still the same it was yesterday.
Reminds me of the owners of Johnny Rogers
Two Dicks Creamery.
And for your hard efforts well rewarded you with $9 an hour poverty wages! No benefits, don’t you dare even ask about a free cup of ice cream
Let me guess $10 an hour and unpaid overtime?
😬🤢
They act like they are curing cancer or are a quick response hostage negotiating team. Naw, we sell diabetes in a cone.
Holy shit the entitlement our economy fosters in these people
We’ve made it big, Raleigh
Sounds like they’re saying “we only want people who are so desperate that they’re completely exploitable”. Much like American policies have become I guess.
The attitude screams local business owner who is just too cool for school
Okay, Two Cocks
>> you can’t ghost work texts like a bad hinge date. If we message the group chat, you’re ready to acknowledge or reply within a timely manner Oh this is some delicious r/maliciouscompliance I’ll go ahead and take on call pay with your requirement that I answer any and...
Pay them more
Im not sure if the owners realize so I'll just point out very clearly that THEY ARE A FUCKING ICE CREAM PARLOR.
How the hell is anyone paying rent on the pennies I'm sure he pays?
At least he is honest…
A lot of owners expect their minimum wage employees to have the same level of commitment and dedication they have without doing the work to create that culture. There’s a reason Apple, Google, etc have that, there’s a feeling of being more than yourself. You can’t shame your e...
if work texts me out of my schedule im adding a fucking hour and you can suck it if you cry about it.
What’s with all these bourgie ice cream shop pop ups? A few years ago it was poutine now it’s ice cream. And the places are always shit to work at.
Two rooster-head ice cream more like it
That last one is illegal in a lot of countries now. The first one, I think they were trying to be cute and go “let’s face it, we all know you’re here for money and not because you’re so passionate about ice cream” but they worded it more like a threat. I literally just worded ...
Isn’t there a synonym for “rooster” that seems really fitting here?
Sure. Male he--wait a second!!
I would think a business run by a couple of Bears like this guy might be a little more forgiving with their employees.
Lmao when we message the group chat...the group chat is like being held in detention and everyone is forced to emoji react before being allowed to leave. Nonsense.
Anyone who expects me to be available outside my normal work hours to answer their silly ass text messages better be paying me a six figure salary. Something tells me these ice cream slinging fuckers only offer a shitty hourly wage.
Best pay on call and a phone stipend if that last slide is mandatory.
I hope someone unionizes the fuck out of that asshole.
No, fuck them.
First one is kinda bad, since what your situation outside of work is non of the company's business most of the time. Second one I'd say is reasonable, if maybe worded pretty aggressively. Third one is a HELL naw. Having a group chat for shift coverage or whatever is fine, ...
So I don't agree with three at all. It kind of contradicts the first two. We want people that will show up okay so they're there to work. And also the job is going to be hard so they're not going to be staring at their phones. Once you're off work, you're off work and I don't ...
My last job I actually downloaded an app to auto respond to any texts from work related numbers and reply with a message saying basically "you have reached [my name] after hours. If this is an emergency, reply ACCEPT. You will be charged an off-duty consultancy rate of $40.00 ...
Reminds me of the hilariously bad IT position that Rogue Brewery posted. https://www.reddit.com/r/recruitinghell/comments/414rsv/rogue_brewerys_infamous_it_manager_posting/ This made me never buy any of their products ever again no matter how fuax quirky they were.
I'm honestly surprised there's not something about MAGA in the post.
I am *always* happy to acknowledge or reply to the work group chat as fast as I can get my hands free. Of course, this assumes I'm on the clock and allowed to have my phone on my person, and on with the alert volume at max level so I can hear it if we're busy. If I'm off the...
They can take their ice cream and boof it.
👎
“We are looking for hardcore employees to scoop ice cream part time” doesnt sound cool.
This sucks cuz they do make a really good milkshake
Group text/chat sounds cringe and gross
Why the fuck is my ice cream scooping job texting me?
"they work to survive" I appreciate the honesty about the transactional nature of the relationship.
Lmao NOPE! But at least they’re upfront and can easily be avoided!
r/hellofellowkids
Yeah... FTBS. If you expect me to be on call to answer a group chat, you better being paying me on call pay.
The shit-eating grin on this motherfucker's face
is it just me or saying people are "weak" for not being able to lift heavy things around sounds ableist as fuck?
Thebwaybthey tried to save it with a pride bracelet. Jfc
Are you paying to be 'on call'? I'm not answering work texts outside of work, end of.
One and two are reasonable and refreshingly honest. Three, no, you don’t own your employees spare time.
Idk if its honest to call people who can't meet the physical demands of an ice cream job "weak." I would label that ableist and uninformed
Yall need to chill. Two Roosters ice cream is 💯
