I still find it crazy its a “request for leave” which they can deny rather than “im not coming in today, I need to go to the hospital”

Request for leave is for longer term absence.

Still shitty

„I am not coming in until at least the xx.xx.xxxx as I am still sick.“

There you go. That’s how it works here. The employer can then collect the doctors confirmation online.

After six weeks it requires a bit more effort, as the employer no longer needs to pay wages and you need to apply for sick pay from the insurance, which is 70% for up to a year and a half.

The very thought of an employer not allowing you to be sick is just ridiculous.

Seeing things like this I find it weird there aren’t more Mario bros around in the US.

He was an oddity in America. Most Americans don’t have the ability to go from keyboard to action.

They can barely muster enough oxygen to make the thought they need to write down in the first place. America is a bizarre place.

I found Wall-E more disturbing than most post-apocalyptic movies. Felt too real

You’re surprised there aren’t more people capable of being unemployed for months who are also able to walk around with $10,000 cash after building an expensive gun and buying multiple bus tickets and staying in New York City for days?

Give it a little more time. When the militia folks realize that they have been had they won’t be happy.

They’ll just be duped again into how it’s the liberal’s fault. I’ve lost my expectation that anyone may follow a course of logic once their mind is set.

Their logic is like “Yeah, our bosses mistreated us! But they’re in a tight spot because the invisible economy forced their hand! The market is flooded with mythological job-stealing crime-doing immigrants we’ve never met, so we understand, boss-man. The democrats will pay for this. Yeah I know you’re short staffed we can work extra and not log overtime. One day we’ll get to wear the boot! :D”

Lol

Even if it’s a weird computer or paperwork fluke, it’s emblematic of the company, so there’s no version of this where they don’t go fuck themselves.

I’d deny a leave of absence as well… But I’d leave her on the payroll.

Appropriate, as Amazon is one of the major companies trying to have the NLRB,which gives unions a modicum of pushback against corps, declared “unconstitutional”. Id expect a full press on that in the fist year if successful, id expect major portions of the NLRA itself to be targeted.

Lots of blood and sweat and tears of the 19th and 20th century being washed away right now that will have to be shed again to get these rights back.

Work Reform

!workreform@lemmy.world

Create post

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

  • All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
  • Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
