Sure seems like you care what your coworkers think since we're talking about when it's embarrassing to take off sick and you're so upset by it. Maybe instead of getting irate over being told you're an embarrassment stop being an embarrassment.

"But muh mental health days". Wow grow up "man". Sick days are for when you're sick not for crying into your pillow.

You're mad because your coworkers, who manage to come to work on a consistent basis, find it embarrassing when you take a sick day for being hung over or have to fake a cough.

Calling them "asshole" for it will just make them have an even lower opinion of you.

It's simple. People and more so children need to know where "the line" is. To know where the line is we test it by putting our toe over it.

So you can have a stable society with draconian rules like in Islam where the line is clear and strictly enforced and they cut your toe off, or if the line is anchored to basic sanity like in Constitutional republics. Otherwise people testing the line end up pushing it further away and normalizing degeneracy and instability.

For instance in America we regularly enact censorship, but when we get so far from our 1st Amendment we look back at "shall not be infringed" and as a society (through the Supremes) say "oh we've gone way to far, those aren't exceptions anymore we're just censoring". Even yelling "fire" in a theater was banned, but then later allowed as free speech when they held it up next to the 1st. In contrast in Canada you have free speech 'if it's convenient', so they don't really have an anchor to save them from degeneracy.

Society needs this anchor, whether it's the Bill of Rights or a holy book (or both).

This is the biggest mistake a parent can make, not to have anchors aka reasons for their rules. You have to be able to explain to the kid and remind yourself "because you're disturbing other people" and things like that. Otherwise you'll end up like my lefty relatives that need some item but can't buy it because they have the kid with them and he'll thrown down (going on for years!). It's crazy.

Let extremists on all sides mass report to get automated bans, then only 'fix the mistake' with human intervention for lefty degenerates.

I said "you guys". I wasn't only talking about you, but the post comments as a whole.

Pathetic.

You seemed pretty certain "the norm" was use it or lose it, now you're saying actually you meant teenagers and Mexicans.

Probably explains why you guys want entry level jobs to pay for a house and family; working at McDonalds is "the norm" to you.

Fixed. Thanks for letting me know.

What did you think you were saying here:

Counter point. Fuck you. I do what I want.

Using sick leave when you aren't sick. That's lying and maybe you've rationalized it so hard you don't even realize it anymore, but that's what it is.

And that's why it's shameful to some degree, because you debase yourself and everyone knows it.

Except you I guess.

Again, sad. Apparently a huge portion of this forum has only part time work or is Mexican.

What matters is Israel had control over these products at some point and planted explosives.

They have control over any product originating from their country, so anything you buy from them might explode.

If you knew your iPhone was intercepted in shipment by Israel then that's another and even more reason to reject delivery of it.

Close: sad not mad. You guys are acting like it's normal and right to have to pretend to be sick to get a paid day off you already earned or else lose it.

It's kind of pathetic really to accept that as the way it is or should be.

You're not embarrassed about lying, you'll do it if you want to, why should anybody believe you about this? Or anything else. Of course you have.

Simple question for you, have you ever called in sick because you were drinking too much the night before?

It's rhetorical. We know the answer already.

What you're telling me is that you get sloshed and call in sick the next day (and four other voters here).

Because that's the example I was talking about that you should be embarrassed of and clearly it's triggering you.

It's not required in America, but it's like the first thing employees negotiate for. Because they get paid more for being healthy.

I live in a state with almost no worker protections and have always had unused sick days paid out.

edit: all I can say is you guys must work at some shitty companies lol

It may not be vaccination that's causing it, but something is causing it and medicine not wanting to know what it is means they already know what it is and they're making huge profit off it.

Part of the psyop was an absolute refusal to admit any problems with vaccines.

I'd follow up after a vaccine is totally harmless comment that actually 1 in a few million die from a vaccine so they're not totally harmless and they'd say "look an anti-vaxxer get 'em!"

If the response was "Ok Mr. Literal you're wasting our time with that" I could see that, but the response was always that saying vaccines could ever cause any harm at all was putting lives in danger. Complete psychos.

They think it's important 'science' to prove that Floyd had metabolite in his system. These low-information far right conspiracy fools don't understand that fentanyl is converted in the body so this proves he took drugs hours before that couldn't have made him stop breathing while restrained by the cop, they say.

Completely oblivious to the obvious that you can be coming down from being high, swallow your stash like the year prior to avoid arrest, and die from that second larger dose of fentanyl.

Then you're risking actually getting seriously ill and losing your job because you took too many 'mental health' days.

You can save a lot of money by not paying insurance, stashing away the premiums instead, and hoping for the best. Your sick days at a shitty company like that are insurance against being fired, because you're easily replaceable at any company with that policy.

You get paid for unused sick days so you're not "working for free" you're just taking days off.

Using a paid sick day lowers your income by a day because you're not getting that sick day cashed out later.

You can dye your hair purple and get a tramp stamp. Embarrassing, but you can do it.

Personally, if I was going to get so drunk I'd be big time hung over the next day I'd do it on a weekend. I tell the boss if I'm taking sick days as part of my vacation so they can plan for it - maybe you can't do that at some shitty company, I don't know.

I'm not trying to defend Walsh's position, which is crap, but where he probably got it from.

He's so black and white that he can't differentiate between the guy you play a game with who's obviously hammered in voice chat and calls in sick and the guy who's coughing up a lung and doesn't want his coworkers to get it or to come in and make costly mistakes.

Whichever is the more common case he's going to treat as the only case.

Seriously. If they even attempted the Golden Rule they'd be way better off right now.

Instead they don't even operate under an eye for an eye, they go by the Mobster Rule: "He pulls a knife, you pull a gun, he sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue."
