If I might have to travel for a future project, are local events on weekdays off limits?

Define local events

Events in my base city

Local events next week? Highly unlikely.

Local events six months from now, when you don’t know where you’ll be staffed, possibly.

What kind of events? There’s always the ability to tell your supervisor that you can’t travel as normal one week due to events in your hometown. If you can’t travel because you joined a weekly pub quiz team, that’s probably not going to be good enough. But if you can’t travel one week because you bought expensive concert tickets for your favorite band on Tuesday night, they should be able to work with that.

Hi everyone! I’d like to create a simple graphic of our HR operational calendar for my client group.

Any ideas on how I can best visually represent this? Any tools, programs or templates you recommend? Thanks!

I currently have 10% shares in a very small f&b group owns 2 restaurant outlets.

One of them have been hit with covid and we are suffering in sales. Our director somehow don’t believe in marketing and will not budge to allocate resources to hire a personnel. Our staff are underpaid so there are no incentives for them to go beyond their SOW.

What are some of the ways to drive more sales?
