asked for a raise (im the only employee at a small cosmetics company. i handle the manufacturing, labeling, packing, and shipping, as well as keeping up inventory and keeping the place in order. basically everything) and my boss responds by trying to gaslight me, pulling this “we’re a small business 🥺” bullshit
he just bought a 60,000 dollar car and is taking his second vacation of the year next week
he keeps trying to hold “a week of personal time” i had to go on strike by myself to earn, “paid winter break” etc over my head. all shit that the government forces you to give your employees in every other country on the planet. america is a shit hole with no workers rights and it allows the parasitic small business tyrant class feel like they’re doing something good by offering the bare minimum. literally “i treat my slaves nicely” shit
sorry yall just wanted to rant. fuck america and work under capitalism
Sounds like a dope-ass margin. Or tax evasion. Could always be tax evasion.
just big margins. an ingredient order is placed about every 6 months. the product is just made with various oils and waxes. while the order will costa few thousand dollars, in one day i produce thousands of products all of which individually sell for enough that one day of production will easily pay for an entire 6 month’s worth of ingredients.
on that note, his wife accidentally fucked up once and gave me an order that didnt have the prices removed, so i could see what they sell everything for and the total amount of the order. one medium-small sized order i ship out pays for my entire month’s salary. im packing dozens upon dozens of these orders every month, with some larger ones that will likely be about a year’s worth of my salary coming in every couple months
