[@CrimzinEclipse2010]

The reality of most work places, is that sick leave is “legal” but strongly discouraged by a lot of supervisors, with the implication of being potentially terminated if you actually DO take a sick day for anything other than literally vomiting on the job.

[@CloudHiro]

which they legally cant do now because of corona. in fact your required by law to not come in if sick for any reason now over here or your business could get charged if they force ya.

[@michelle8307]

But sick days still apply. If you have covid they don't. But many places if you stay home sick and you don't have Covid, then you have to use sick days. Eventually you could run out of sick days and not be willing to take the chance

[@Mugruncher]

Yep. It’s so fucked up but at least COVID-19 has given workers a “genuine reason” to take a sick day if they’re sick. And even so, you have to fight tooth and nail. It’s not that they will ORDER you to work, but they will use emotional abuse to punish you for trying. Even if you’re streaming snot right in front of them. They’ll ask “well, do you FEEL Like you COULD work?” In an angry judgemental tone that makes it clear they will be unhappy with you as a worker if you don’t push through and pretend not to be sick. If you continue to request a sick day, they will imply with tone and body language (and sometimes with direct words) that you are soft, and weak, and selfish. If you point out that it’s not just about whether you are up to it, but the risk of spreading infection to others, they will roll their eyes, scoff, and use tone and body language to imply that you are being difficult, splitting hairs, or just saying ridiculous far fetched things. Bosses often don’t care about society at large or the individual worker. They care about themselves.

[@CloudHiro]

[@eric_the_egggremlin]

my mom has run into this problem. She never takes sick days unless her boss tells her to, and right in the second year of the pandemic she hit a truly awful mix of mental fatigue and depressive episode, and had to take nearly a month off work. Her boss fired her on the first day she came back, because they needed to save money and she was "too unreliable". This woman had taken like three sick days that year and worked herself to the point of complete collapse and he decided to fire her. Unreliable my fucking ass.

[@Halbam]

*in the US. (sorry for necroposting) Most other developed countries have laws protecting workers. I can't wrap my head around how the US has not had several worker revolts by now. In Germany, we have basically unlimited sick days. You're not feeling well? Go see a doctor, and he'll write you an incapacity certificate, and expand it when necessary. Most bosses and workers alike are well aware that you can't work when you're sick (be it physically or mentally) and even encourage you to go home. You get paid either way (your employer gets reimbursed by your health insurance company - having one is mandatory), even if it takes several weeks or even months. It boggles my mind that the US lags behind in such basic concepts, and that about half the population even opposes any reform.

[@JanjayTrollface]

Yeah, not in the developed world.

[@orangetoes223]

@@Halbam As an American I get the sense that We don’t really feel worthy. I think a lot of us would rather blame ourselves for our short comings than blame the government or the companies we work for. Plus anytime someone complains about work it usually goes something like “your problems ain’t shit my grandpa got black lung working in the coal mines” or “look at how crap other countries are you’re lucky to be here”. Complaining about any current social ills comes off as entitlement to much of the population.

[@raelonewolf]

Yes. The employee who comes in that sick is bad, but equally bad is the employee who screws everyone over by calling out or leaving early because of the dumbest things. I had a manager who was notorious for coming up with stupid reasons to not come to work, including: -He forgot (to go to work) -He missed the bus (didn't explain why he couldn't just get on a later bus) -He needed to do laundry because he had nothing to wear to work that day (which begged the question, what did he wear to the laundromat?) -His legs were too sore from his workout the day before so he couldn't ride his bike to get to work today -He was hungover -Earwax... yep, he legit called in once "because of earwax". Didn't give any more explanation than that.

[@OrionoftheStar]

Vomiting on your boss's desk _is_ an effective way of informing them that your work that day would be subpar.

[@AndrewTheKingOfPenguins]

My job let's you call in sick but unless you actually are injured and can't go back to work they won't excuse your sick day. You're allowed 3 occurrences without any effect (you can take 2fers so you can be out 2 consecutive days each call out). On your 4th you get a verbal, your 5th a written, your 6th a final, and your 7th is you getting fired. You call outs fall off in 6 months. Even still I have been pretty healthy for pretty much the last year. Also call outs won't affect you till you get a verbal, but attendance is factor for promotions and department transfers as well as which shift you get (I work at a casino).

This was a huge difference between places I have worked. The places with no paid sick days, People were sick there all the time. i was sick all the time. I worked 2 places with paid sick days. One paid out sick days at the end of the year if you didn't use them(so people never called in sick, the same as not being paid). The other, paid sick days. no rollovers. No payouts. However, there was a trend of making sure you use them before you lose them. As well as just using a "sick" day when you knew it was going to be busy. Or you just didn't want to work. As much as that fucked everybody else over, I like it better than non-paid sick days. paid sick days saw people calling in "sick" on the worst days, sure. But it was still a lot better than getting sick myself and living through torture for a week or two.

[@Chrobin111]

LightningGmr In Germany paid sick days are obligatory. 6 weeks per sickness.

[@DexRei]

Adding to GoldeyX. I used to work in fast food, and despite having paid sick days, managers always had the 'guilty until proven innocent' approach, so people always came in while sick so that managers would send them home.

[@jeramii03]

See, this was me when I called off work. Then they'd complain I called out. So I go in next time I feel like this and they complain I am not working hard enough so I explain that i'm sick and they send me home. I get sick again, I call out. They complain. Cycle goes on.

[@beccafuller44]

jscheetz03 same with me, only I get yelled at just for walking in the building sick and sent home, but yet yelled at because I called in sick.

[@JordanMON]

I can relate to this so well. This is an actual issue that should really be addressed. They can't punish you for being sick unless they want you to infect other people at work, yet they also try to force you to go home when you put up with being sick and come to work.

[@BriPer1992]

If companies were required to pay a reasonable number of sick days, people could rest at home and recover and not feel burdened to come into work ill. It would literally solve most of this issue.

[@Aurum997]

Simba "Pitching in" usually means to assist someone with something, to help out. i.e someone can pitch in some cash if someone has financial troubles - in this case, he has some comedy ideas (some pitches) that he can share with the group to help make more sketches. The joke is, even while almost dead, he's still talking normally about his actions and plans for the meeting.

jemielnic not true at all in my experiences. All the men i know call in sick whenever they have the slightest cold, and then act like they are dying or something. While women go to work no matter how sick they are. Makes sense if you think about the fact that most women have to go to work or school with pretty intense pain every month for a week.

Becca Fuller perfect love it! Just have to show them that you arent messing around and someday they will learn to let you just be sick at home.
