It's hard to tell. I've worked at places that would definitely fire me for using a week of vacation, and legally in my state vacation isn't a tangible guaranteed thing; it's completely legal to just fire the employee instead if they try to use it without compensation. Practically some jobs don't have time off. You just get fired.
Thats … really worker unfriendly
What are you, some kind of communist? Don't make me call ICE on you!
I’ll call dobrint on you
Oh nein! Bitte nicht Dobrindt!
Hey, hey, hey, slow down. We don't want things to get ugly.. and you also shouldn't fire so your shots at once. The only measure that remains after Dobrindt is Söder (||─.─）
My wife was fired from a job for getting sick (kidney stones). We were told if we don't like it, sue, but I bet you can't afford either that with the medical bills.
There are some very unkind people out there who take advantage of their position. It's a right-to-work state which just means that you can be fired for any and no reason with no recourse. It's dystopian as hell. Most people in these positions put up with it because they enjoy eating.
Stuff like this really makes me want to scream.
And yet people just recently voted to make it all much much worse.
they have to prepare for when they eventually leave the trailer park and become the ruling class
I get that Americans like the illusion of freedom, but the only freedom here is enjoyed by the employer. That they can get away with it is so fucked up.
In the U.S. it's a long propaganda history called "right to work." It's sold as being freedom and rights for the people, but really it just strips unionizing rights away and gives corporations power.
Like most laws in the U.S., it's all lies and only abject morons buy it.
welcome to the USA! we hate our citizens
