One would hope that a message THAT tone deaf wouldn't have even made it to the keyboard before realizing what a catastrophically bad idea it was.
there's a lot of stupid, ignorant assholes running small businesses all over the place that think they own their employees and can boss them 24/7. this could totally be a legit posting somewhere.
if you want me answering my phone 24/7, you're paying me 24/7--and providing the phone you want me to answer.

Yes, of course there are plenty of workplaces this bad, but they still wouldn't write "voluntary mandatory"
After meeting many a middle manager, I can say with absolute certainty that they would write something like this.

This is basically how Golden Corral works their staff
I hope this is just one of those fake rage bait signs
It is
It has to be
Required to be by the phone = on the clock. This will be a lot of overtime for everyone.

Depending on the country/state that could obligate the company to pay for devices if they’re going to require they have them.
Not to mention possible “on call” pay could apply as well.
I wonder if people who make these things (if real) even think of throwing them by HR or some professional who could help them avoid the legal implications of these kinds of things.
This is probably by some small time business owner who never heard of HR, since preventing this liable shit is exactly HR's job.
Civilized countries make this shit illegal.
Some some people may not believe this shit is actually ilegal in mexico. There's a limited list of cases where firing an employee is actually justified, without obligations for the employer. Otherwise you're entitled to a 3month compensation.
There are, of course, employers who decide to challenge this and drag payments, but still...

Good rage bait, made me rage
Tell me you live in America without saying you live in America…
because of corn flakes I have no foreskin
Cornflakes took your foreskin? Sounds like a slam dunk case against Kellogg
Today my son is born. As I sit the waiting room, I ponder "How can I best serve the company?"
You will be a great asset to the company. Great great asset to the company

'...voluntary mandatory shift coverage.'
Someone should be gifted a dictionary for Supervisor Appreciation Day.
I totally understand the overall ridiculousness of this, but I suspect that "mandatory" and "voluntary" apply to 2 different people in this case. Person 1 has a "mandatory shift" and person 2 is supposed to voluntarily cover that person's mandatory shift.
"How can I best serve the company" 🤮
A thought I had not once in my entire work life
"sorry boss. I can beat serve the company by making sure I'm well rested for my normal, scheduled shifts. Can't come in."
This but unironically
Tell me you took a night course in business without telling me
Ahh yes, voluntary mandatory, just like life imprisonment death sentence.
Me thinks they don’t know the meaning of voluntary.
They can fuck off.
Good luck with keeping people hired 🙂
Your employer wants you to be in a mindset of scarcity and fear.
That way, he can have leverage over you and easily control you.
You should never allow it.
If you're being intimidated for termination, look for another job and make it easier for him to fire you.
Show him that have options and don't care.
I got a job at Subway when leaving the army, mostly out of boredom. Told them the only day I cannot come in is Thursdays, that’s when I go into the VA for my deployment issues. Put that is writing, got hired. They also had something like this where you have to always be on call. They called my on Thursday in the middle of a counseling session, so on Friday I was fired.
Turns out, the FAFO is strong with this one. The VA asked if I put it in writing, “Yes, here is the email”. Several weeks later the fine leveraged against the owner was so high she had to sell the business. She called me, asking when I am coming back in (I could tell it was being recorded, could hear the static) and I laughed and told her you can’t record me, and you fired me, then hung up.
Turns out shitcanning veterans who just got back from a deployment during the height of “we all love Murica!” gets you zero sympathy from anyone.
Damn, that's crazy, man.
Hope it goes well for you!
I am fine now. This was a while ago. But thank you for the concern, it is appreciated. I dropped my apron on the floor when leaving and did a “well…bye”.
The manager said to pick it up.
“I don’t work here”
The appropriate answer to that is the full staff making a chorus and singing to the bosses "FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUU! WE'RE LEEEEAVING!"
Whoever wrote that can go fuck themselves with a 40-grit sandpaper dildo made from a red hot curling iron.
Pour one out this Memorial day for anyone stuck working for such a massive powertripping cunt as the one that wrote this.
I bet they're also the type to loudly exclaim "no one wants to work anymore" when no one answers their calls at 4 in the morning.
Those who work at this company should all no show simultaneously and see how it does.
this shit would br illegal in my country. I hope this ain't true
every time someone tried to call me in i would say i've had alcoholic drinks; they shut up pretty quick after that.
On call rules AND on call pay, or STFU. Your staffing problem isn't my problem and I can contact legal authorities if you do write me up for having my phone off or just not coming in.
That's the team spirit
