It amazes me that people who can't distinguish between 'your' and 'you're' are allowed to manage people

So, act like a million 💸 company and cover your employees' babysitting and taxi expenses. Also hire enough people.

    A million dollar company could just be a warehouse and 10 employees. I don't know why they are acting like it's a lot.

    They can't afford to check their grammar. You think they can afford to give their employees benefits? You expect the poor CEO to take a pay cut to pay for all of this? You'll just have to go to poor Timmy Executive and tell him he's not getting that second yacht for Christmas this year.

    Spring for the spell check function for management.

    Wouldn't do much good in this case - "your" and "lets" are actual words.

    and you need to know grammar to use a grammar checker. My paper in uni I decided to just hit corels gramatik and accept all changes (did it a few times just for funsies) that paper went from above acceptable to an atrocious mess in no time

    Yes, except "hire enough people". You can't staff enough to cover 4 out of 8 employees off from a combination of sick, bereavement, and vacation.

    It happens. All you can do is prioritize tasks, make it work the best you can with the resources you have, and manage expectations.

    If the work can't be rescheduled, and isn't worth paying someone OT to cover, well, then, it's not worth doing.
