My team hasn't been lower on morale. A lot of employees are taking last-minute off days and forcing others to take on double shifts. It almost feelsl ike they're all doing it at once to prove a point. How do the managers on the bowl maintain morale during staff shortages?

Are there small gestures like free meals, flexible scheduling or anything else you could do? They go a long way toward keeping morale up in my experience. And then obviously, recognition and transparent communication help too.

Being honest is the best, and also following up on how this problem is going to be resolved. Anything else feels performative if you aren’t actually addressing the issue, which I love a free meal, but that only goes so far.

I get in the trenches with them. Always make sure they feel supported. There’s nothing like being short staffed and having managers that don’t care. It’s definitely a morale killer

What point do you think they are trying to prove?

Anyone else here realized they have some alcohol moderation issues? I graduated college within the past 1.5 yrs and my friends are still in the heavy weekend drinking phase. I have realized I need to cut my drinking way down. I don’t drink every day and won’t crave a drink when I’m sober but it’s like once I start I don’t typically stop. I only drink about 2 times a week, but it’s the volume of drinks that’s the issue. I’m not ready to quit - just cut down a lot! Tips/advice appreciated! TIA :)
