    I used to work for a restaurant company that asked corporate staff to work in the restaurants one day per year plus clean the office kitchen once every six months. I’ve never seen so much non Union worker solidarity in opposition to these tiny tiny ass requests.

    This is actually a very good culture and mindset to foster. First hand experience will always be king in helping people making informed decisions.

    Good. As an engineer in a factory I’m sometimes called to help meet a shipment (we’re not well run) and I stand by that if it wasn’t necessary it would be good. Leadership needs to understand the base level value add of a company

    I’ve done shadowing of other roles at a couple jobs. Honestly it’s kinda fun, you learn a lot about other peoples problems so you can do your job better but also it’s pretty fun, like getting a whole new job for a day

    It’s something, but it’s also temporary. They know it will end in 8hrs, and can just put on a show for that time.

    Let’s see them pull a week, one day in each role. Lets see them pull 2 weeks. No special privileges, extra breaks, etc. The same break room and conditions everyone gets.

    One day is just a pulp song. 2 weeks? Then things may change.

      And even more, it hits different when you know “this is my life” and not “i just have to do this for a while”. The absence of any hope contributes so much to the pain.
