just do as they say - show more disregard :rotfl:I did notice; but thought it might go down particularly bad on top of what I'm already doing.We’ve had to remove your signature.

From the memo they sent it sounds like the employer is an extremely poor manager. No mention of what the problem is or how staff can help resolve it, just a mindless rant.
The girl who sent the email has relatively little management experience; although I do believe would make a very good manager with good training & experience. Unfortunately there's no way she'll get that in this company as the owners' skills are poor. One manages by being a tyrannical bully; while his wife just lets him, although her actual management style is much better.Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.- Mark TwainArguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon: no matter how good you are at chess, its just going to knock over the pieces and strut around like its victorious.0 -

She is a manager/supervisor same as me. Unfortunately she seems incapable of independent thought and just follows/believes everything the big boss says. She is who is actually performing this whole charade; but on the suggestion of the big boss' wife, and with his tacit approval.

That's a good thing in my books...they are obviously checking their position.Don't trust a forum for advice. Get proper paid advice. Any advice given should always be checked0 -

Very interesting thread, and I wish you all the best.
It is a shame that you can't name and shame (for fear of reprisals) so that potential customers could be alerted.

Can you ignore her memo and not implement for your team/shift? On the basis that she is not your manager and this is not company policy.0 -
Yes, this is interesting thread - I remember many years ago where I worked, and it was a large national hotel chain, very high class, if the till was under at night it was made up out of our cash tips, if it was over - nothing but we got very large tips, it was in the 1980's and we were getting £20 notes at that time.
Nothing has changed since the 1980s, I have worked for four national chains since then and staff never get these tips from credit cards, or only get a small portion. Thankfully current co manages this via the staff committee ( not always to the benefit of all staff either, but that's another story)0 -

Unfortunately I have no access to the tips in the first place; plus she is technically being supported by the business owners - although they refuse to get actively involved themselves.Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.- Mark TwainArguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon: no matter how good you are at chess, its just going to knock over the pieces and strut around like its victorious.0
