Rather than "we're short staffed tonight," maybe try "Hey, want to pick up a shift tonight?" The passive aggressive tone kills me lol

Nothing wrong with asking someone if they want to work, but you've gotta be ok if they say no when they're not scheduled

The reason the manager didn’t do that is because this is a screenshot of a fake conversation.

I don't believe you, why isn't your username 'manager' then?

But then who was phone?

Oh no, what happened to Buster?

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 9 points 10 hours ago

He got blown up a few times, among other things. I don't think the original survived Mythbusters

I have had similar conversations with managers in the past, this may be staged but it's all too real.

i thought that was obvious. I mean the contact name is "manager"... isn't the point that people wish they would respond like this?
