THIS is true wisdom

Places I've worked if you're sick for more than 2 weeks (accumulated) in the calendar year you were fired.
-
Our company has a policy that if you're sick for 2 days or more, you have to have a doctors note to return. So faking sick comes with a price tag for me. Also, any time I've ever joked about being sick, I actually end up sick. I'll just call around and get someone to cover for me, then tell my supervisor I'm taking a personal day instead of earning some bad karma.
In Australia you can get a doctors note, legit, for $20 online

How is this legal?

wrote last edited by [email protected]We used have that until some dumbass in our company fucked up our insurance plan. $20 for total telecare, it was awesome.

You can be fired for the colour of your shirt. So it's not that surprising.

Oh, okay, it's the US, makes sense now.

Lol, that was my thinking. That'd be super illegal here.

Just getting a doctor's note costs something in the US? Whenever I need a note I call my GP and ask the receptionist to write me one. The doctor doesn't even do anything except sign the paper that the receptionist prints out! Charging for that seems crazy

I definitely don't like that word.
Hard disagree. Try saying it out loud. It's awesome.

I used to share an office with a contractor in the UK.
Their sickie policy was that you didn't get paid at all for the first four days of sickness, but for periods of five days or longer you got paid the statutory sick pay rate for the entirety of the sick period.
It was to disincentivise the "one day wonder" sickies after a night on the piss or when you couldn't be arsed going to work - but predictably, all it did was guarantee that people would be off for at least five days so they got something out of it.
Absolutely backwards.
Cobra problem...

Do you have the original image? I need to make a version that says “shitter’s clogged” instead.

Doesn't taking a 'personal day' cut into your days of annual leave you have?

Don't sick days?

Are you asking if I don't take sick days, or suggesting I don't take (fake) sick days?

I think I need "kitty" to have three syllables before I can enjoy that.

Mini rant incoming. It fucking sucks that it's seen as sus to be sick for just one day. More often than not when my period cramps are too painful to stand up, it's bearable by day two, but I stay home that day anyway to make it more believable. It's similar with so many other pain conditions. Hell, I have chronic UTIs that are often too painful for me to move for just, like, two hours. But explain that to your boss.

Or take Friday off.
I prefer monday. Fridays are often when nothing new is started and people leave early. So full pay for half day of easier than normal work.
Mondays are when shit is started and they're often extra long
