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.
Everything's legal if the people don't have the money for lawyers
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.
dude you live in the "fuck you" state.
did you know anytime you call a call center they have a special American based call center that's DEDICATED to PA calls?
That doesn't make it legal.
Call Labor & Industry (L&I) and file a worker complaint.
Out in pennsyltucky?
104 vacation days
fine print: We reserve the right to force you to come in without additional pay if there is work to do.
And that's the day I quit.
fuck that, I'm gonna fuck shit up so bad with so many "mistakes" they're gonna have to shutter the doors.
rm -rf /* mother fuckers!
If I saw this I would either quit on the spot or call up my union.
I'd burn the place to the ground. I won't put up with this, nor should anyone else.
No place that puts up this sign allows unions.
Would that be legal in the US?
They call it Right to Work. It's truly anti union.
Depends on the state
I have to hope that this is a joke sign.
I think it would be the only reason to make this sign. To be ironic.
No, I commute to work by ambulance
Without a legitimate source I find this extremely hard to believe
All things that are illegal in real countries
"No one wants to work anymore"
No one ever wanted to work, but we all do what we have to, to survive. If working as your employee doesn't allow me to survive, you can get fucked. lol
(Not you as in the person I am replying to but you know)
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...
Yeah, this is one of those damn fool things you see hanging in gift shops and other outlets of kitsch, unironically on display as if it's still clever and nobody's ever seen it before. Usually right along side the very similar plaque with the "Labor rates: If you watch / If you offer advice / If you help" canard, "Harley Davidson Parking Only," "Complaint Department, Take a Number (Grenade)," and others of the same ilk.
I've seen the "labour rates" one in a few mechanic's workshops.
Definitely more of a hint than a joke.
And companies wonder why 'people don't wanna work anymore.....'
Treating them like this isn't helping their case any.
I doubt it is anything but a joke. It would certainly be illegal where I live.
It is a joke. Its just tone deaf.
Isn't this just standard US employment terms?
What you're saying is, that you'll only accept that I'm sick if you genuinely hear absolutely nothing from me because I'm either dead or completely incapacitated, and then only show up later after recovering?
I can work with that.

Once thing is true though, when I'm sick I'm too weak to go the doctor. That shouldn't be a requirement
yep plus be forced to pay to be seen.
Sounds like someone has wasted their generational wealth and is getting desperate.
Thats depressing
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.
Smoke breaks: smoking will happen during your shift and you will ash your cigs into the fabric scrap bins.
Thank you, Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Management
fucking hell, wasn't expecting that lol
The "Thank you management should be read with the intonation of "THANKS OBAMA!"
So anyways, I started re-telling Grimms Fairy tales to my boss at work..
