Oh damn looks like I got the Two week flu. The phone doctor said the only cure is foreign beach air. Don’t worry though, I’m hating every minute of it and I’ll be back just as soon as I’m well again.
Mildly related. In Germany (and I assume in other countries too, but I can’t confirm) depending on why your doctor freed you from work you are actually allowed to do such stuff. As example if you get called sick from the doctor for depression you are allowed to go clubbing, make a trip to the beach etc. This is because under German law you are only forbidden to do stuff that is not beneficial for your recovery, so doing stuff that makes you happy is absolutely allowed. I would suggest to not tell this your employer, because that can lead to a lot of unnecessary discussions, but you are allowed to do this.
Isn’t this just standard US employment terms?
The only problem is generally you can’t count on having Sat/Sun off
Outside of hospitality? Is it that bad in the service industries too?
No. Once you get into the more valued labor PTO and respect for time off becomes much easier to find.
All things that are illegal in real countries
And companies wonder why ‘people don’t wanna work anymore…’
Treating them like this isn’t helping their case any.
“No one wants to work anymore”
104 vacation days
fine print: We reserve the right to force you to come in without additional pay if there is work to do.
I have to hope that this is a joke sign.
No, I commute to work by ambulance
Would that be legal in the US?
Depends on the state
They call it Right to Work. It’s truly anti union.
The "Thank you management should be read with the intonation of “THANKS OBAMA!”
“Sorry I haven’t been to work this month, I’m too sick to go to the doctor”
Based on the font of “Company Policies” and the fact that it’s an embossed metal (or shiny plastic) sign, I’m gonna assume this is a gag decoration. However, I wouldn’t be surprised about a company using this as inspiration…
I see this and assume it’s fake. Then, my wife starts a job where they make her pay for her own background heck and drug test and tell her she will be charged $250 if she quits without a 2 week notice. How is any of that legal?!
It’s not legal.
I’m not disagreeing with you, but they seemed pretty adamant about it. They even said they’d send it to collections.
I’m in Pennsylvania which is a “right to work” state.
That doesn’t make it legal.
Call Labor & Industry (L&I) and file a worker complaint.
Everything’s legal if the people don’t have the money for lawyers
Corporations:
I have (briefly) encountered employers who literally believe the first one, though.
It’s a great way to get your entire workforce sick, that’s for sure. That’ll certainly keep productivity high, won’t it?
