Some of it is interesting and innovative, all of it unobtanium for normal people. I’m sort of OK with that since it reduces the chances of a McLaren driver exceeding Rowan Atkinson’s insurance claim.

Wildly disappointing on the styling side.

probably the same PR firm that made a huge deal about him driving a Prius or Fit despite being the (then) richest man on earth as some sort of “look how normal dude this guy is!”

100% We already know he hired the same PR firm that Gates hired to launder his image. Every choice he makes is a deliberate attempt to make him not seem like a complete piece of shit. This is no different.

Meanwhile, Cybertrucks brick from going through a car wash. 😂

If you have a hole on your property you have to cover it. That’s the law. It really doesn’t matter where it is or if you consider it “remote”-which is a vague and not legal term. Was there any signage indicating there was a hole there? Was there any no trespassing signs indicating that section of the property was off…

May I take this opportunity of emphasizing that there is no cannibalism in the British Navy, absolutely none. And when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount, more than I personally admit. But, all new Ratings are warned that if they wake up in the morning and find any toothmarks at all anywhere on their bodies,…

In my profession , any hole over 6" deep needs flagging, over 18" needs a taped perimeter, and over 36" needs a fixed barricade. Excavations over 4' have stepping requirements to prevent/mitigate cave-ins.

That is ridiculously untrue, but also not something anyone needs anyway.

You’re confused as to the target of your rage. YOUR EMPLOYER determined the appropriate amount of days and you seem to be upset someone uses those very days.

This is exactly the questions management should be asking themselves, but won’t. As long as they can find any reason that doesn’t point the finger at them they will decide that is the reason.

But if the general population with the same worker protections and benefits have a less than half absenteeism, doesn’t that say something about this company in particular?

Well, thanks for spreading your colds and flus to the rest of your co-workers. I find this idea about “I never take sick days” to be utterly ridiculous.

You’re upset at an employee using all the sick time that he’s allowed? A whopping 14 days out of the ~250 working days in a year?  

If you only want them to take 5 or 8 days a year, then only give them that amount. It is absolutely your right to set the amount of sick/vacation days employees get, but see how many employees want to come work for you. If they are allowed 14 days off a year and don’t take all of them, then are you paying them…

If they have enough management to spare for home visits and shirk their actual job, sounds like they have too many in management.

If Germany’s labor protections are so rife for abuse, why is the average sick day usage so much lower across the country than at this one plant?

Thierig also noted that temporary workers in the same conditions only had a 2% sickness rate, suggesting that permanent workers were taking advantage of the German labor protections.

There, the repairs were given a once over by company founder Kourosh Mansory, who took offense to some of Armstrong’s efforts and even pleaded with him to swap out his choice of wheels.
