“Sorry I haven’t been to work this month, I’m too sick to go to the doctor”

[–] jason@discuss.online 29 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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?!

Everything's legal if the people don't have the money for lawyers

[–] jason@discuss.online 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

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?

[–] spacequetzal@lemm.ee 8 points 18 hours ago

That doesn't make it legal.

Call Labor & Industry (L&I) and file a worker complaint.

[–] SendPrudes@lemm.ee 1 points 18 hours ago

Out in pennsyltucky?

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 17 points 23 hours ago

104 vacation days

fine print: We reserve the right to force you to come in without additional pay if there is work to do.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

And that's the day I quit.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

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!

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If I saw this I would either quit on the spot or call up my union.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

I'd burn the place to the ground. I won't put up with this, nor should anyone else.

[–] terminhell@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

No place that puts up this sign allows unions.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Would that be legal in the US?

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 12 points 23 hours ago

They call it Right to Work. It's truly anti union.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 10 points 1 day ago

Depends on the state

[–] hogmomma@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I have to hope that this is a joke sign.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

I think it would be the only reason to make this sign. To be ironic.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

No, I commute to work by ambulance

[–] MMEnterprises@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

Without a legitimate source I find this extremely hard to believe

[–] tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 107 points 1 day ago

All things that are illegal in real countries

"No one wants to work anymore"

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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)

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 99 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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...

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

I've seen the "labour rates" one in a few mechanic's workshops.

Definitely more of a hint than a joke.

[–] DFX4509B_2@lemmy.org 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

And companies wonder why 'people don't wanna work anymore.....'

Treating them like this isn't helping their case any.

[–] nebulaone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I doubt it is anything but a joke. It would certainly be illegal where I live.

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

It is a joke. Its just tone deaf.

[–] SheenSquelcher@lemm.ee 69 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Isn't this just standard US employment terms?

[–] B1naryB0t@lemmy.dbzer0.com 50 points 1 day ago (5 children)

The only problem is generally you can't count on having Sat/Sun off

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

[–] cheers_queers@lemm.ee 1 points 17 hours ago

yep plus be forced to pay to be seen.

[–] DoubleSpace@lemm.ee 50 points 1 day ago

Sounds like someone has wasted their generational wealth and is getting desperate.

[–] Solocore@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Thats depressing

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

fucking hell, wasn't expecting that lol

[–] toofpic@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The "Thank you management should be read with the intonation of "THANKS OBAMA!"

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

So anyways, I started re-telling Grimms Fairy tales to my boss at work..
