I wonder how sincere he is about that. This is his brother on a panel about Harvey Weinstein

Cameron Diaz? In 1998? *SPFFFFFT*

as actress Cameron Diaz puts it, “When a director shows you his penis the first time you meet him, you’ve got to recognize the creative genius.”

Except the dumb shit he did was a crime and I would expect more from his apology since he wasn’t prosecuted or sued for it. 

Buried the lede & missed the point by a mile. This is NOT about Bezos’s excruciatingly-sweet love texts— this is about Donald Trump using his National Enquirer to publicly embarrass his financial nemesis.

I did this decades ago and I thought I was being funny

I will say good apology though:

Last month I was pissed when I had to cancel an important thing I waited MONTHS for because I came down with a nasty cold. I know there’s no way to verify that someone from work shared their illness with me, but there’s a good chance that’s the case considering I spend 40+ hours a week in a office with hundreds of…

In Texas, school funding is tied to attendance. So my district had a policy where Juniors and Seniors could be exempt from finals for any class where they had an A and no more than 3 absences or a B and no more than 2 absences. You’d better believe kids came to school sick. It was incentivized. So that’s where we all…

In my experience PTO in lieu of separate sick and vacation just drives people to come in sick. At my workplace, we had a manager have to send his entire department home because they get each other sick and didn’t want to use PTO for being sick.

Counter point: Sick days are vacation days, just named something else as well as the other way around. The days of you must have a doctors note if you’re sick are, thankfully, numbered. 

You won’t get fired.  You just won’t be assigned any hours for the next 3 months.

Every employed adult in America thinks being out sick will get them fired or not promoted. 

Come to California, paid sick days are required by law.

We had some documented evidence of abuse through email and some witnesses (but not to that particular threat). In the end though I’m not even sure the judge looked at it. He just that, “That’s illegal,” and awarded unemployment benefits.

Canada. 

This is definitely something true in my office as well. Everyone has a laptop and VPN connections to the office servers, and already allowed to work from home as they’d like and encouraged to do so when weather is bad. So almost no one takes real sick days, we just go home and keep working.

sick days?  days where you don’t go to work b/c you’re sick but still get paid?  what are these sick days you speak of?  where can i get some?

To be fair, some bosses are really shitty about people calling in sick. I once had a job when I was younger where my boss required a doctor’s note if you called in sick. So if you couldn’t afford to go to the doctor or just didn’t need to (like with most viral colds), you were screwed and just had to go in or lose…

I started a new job a year ago and have realized that in my new office, there is really no such thing as a sick day - there are only “work from home because they aren’t feeling well” days. It’s like everyone is fighting to make sure everyone else knows “but I’ll be on email all day!”
