Meanwhile my colleague managed to get 40 days paid leave + 30 days paid vacation last year. We're in Germany. Now you say: nice for him. But not really. Someone had to do all the work he couldn't do in those 40 sick days.
Edit: to make myself clearer. He was sick on mondays or fridays usually/conveniently.
Edit2: seems I must've missed that im on /c/antiwork here. Excuse me for careing about my job and getting mad about people making my life difficult.
That's not his problem. The company shouldn't be running on a skeleton crew. I imagine he didn't choose to be sick for those 40 days?
Well said. People don’t seem to understand that running at 100% capacity and workload is not the natural state of things. Humans aren’t machines (and even mining rigs and other machining equipment don’t chug at 100%, more like 70% as to not reduce lifespan)
Just because you can work with multiple employees being absent does not mean you should be keeping that status quo and not hire more people to alleviate the burden on the team.
"More like 70 percent as to not reduce lifespan"
Lifespan doesn't matter, it's total output from the input. Machines generally are run at 100 percent (whatever that is), because it is the most efficient.
It was always on a Friday or Monday coincidentally.
The problem is that you've bought in that the company's problems are yours. They want you to feel like it's your problem, your responsibility so you take on the extra work for free instead of hiring someone else.
Do you get a bonus based on the company's profits? For what reason might you have to care that 'the work gets done'?
I've worked in places that try to nurture that "we're all in this together" mentality but it's never time for them to pitch in for you. They only foster this to get you to do free labor.
so remember: your fellow's work habits are none of your business, eh?
Eh it really depends on the company. I'm in the US and once took an entire month (only went in each Friday) off just because I had the time saved up, and my boss at the time was wicked cool.
Things like this law are not aimed at people like me and your friend that are able to accumulate that much time off.
30 days Vacation is the general rule at my company. 40 days of being sick on mondays or fridays however is not.
Why not?
Meinst du Elternzeit oder was?
Ne, tageweise krankmelden.. Immer wieder Montags und Freitags
Ist legal. Was ist dein Problem? Personenbedingte Kündigung ist bei Missbrauch möglich
Was mein Problem ist? Die Respektlosigkeit dieses Menschen, der sich die 3,5 Tage Woche schnorrt und andere seine Scheiße abarbeiten müssen, weil er unzuverlässig und ständig krank ist.
Kann dir halt echt egal sein.
If working hard because someone takes off work because they are sick maybe you should take off Tuesday Wednesday so you don't feel over worked or maybe see if the company can hire enough people so that if one person doesn't show up it doesn't put an unreasonable amount of work onto you. This is a you and the company problem not this coworker using their sick time problem.
