In this thread: Americans bragging that not only have they never used a sick day, they used their lunchbreak to go back and wrestle the bear for their severed arm which they then reattached with staples they paid for themselves so they could put in a full afternoon of work.
We finally found out what they think WSJ stands for: "Work Sick Jabroni"
I'm more towards "Wake-up Silly Jackass"
Employees are not incentivised to take sick days. Taking a sick day means losing out on pay. They don't want to do it, they feel the need to do it so that they can recover from genuine illness and perform at their best.
If employees are getting sick at too high of a rate, then employers need to look at the workplace environment they're providing.
People being put on PIPs or straight up fired because they used sick leave for a few days and proved it with a doctors note is wild.
has boingboing gone down the pipe?
