In an ideal worldDonnie would 1) need to agree to the terms of doing Cooper’s job for a week and 2) be given a negotiable bonus ($500 to $1000, depending on Cooper’s salary) for that week. He agreed to it but didn’t get the bonus that he should be authorized to earn.
And that’s why you should unionize. Part of our contract is if we are filling in as a manager in our department that week we get manager’s pay (specifically it’s how much a manager gets an hour for how many years we’ve worked there.)
I hate that argument too. As if being thankful for having a job means you should be ok with them taking any advantage of you they please. Yes, for this week he should be making Cooper’s weekly salary. But that may mean working the same number of hours.

Corporations LOVE making you do manager work without giving you manager pay.
Even in a less-than-ideal world, there would have been an extra helper in the stockroom for the period that Cooper was absent.
