Yeah and the excuse is that open office ‘facilitates communication’, which is bullshit. We communicated just fine when we were separated into offices, and nobody got annoyed by someone being a bit loud while they were on the phone.

Thank you.

The “open office” is a degrading, useless plague on humanity.

For all the Small-Businesses-Can’t-Afford-Sick-Days-Employees-Aren’t-Really-Sick-Anyway-Why-Can’t-I-Have-More-Loyal-Employees-Anecdata-Is-Real-Data crowd:

I don’t say this often but.... your employers are pieces of shit. Some people just get off on flogging a horse to death and we have a term for that - psychopaths.

I much prefer a workplace that looks at “sick” days as “wellness days” you don’t have to give a reason, but the reason is you are trying to be well. Whether that’s staying home with the flu, getting a massage or whatever else you need to do to keep your sanity. I find when the stigma is gone, it’s much easier to ask

It's sad that it takes something of that magnitude for some employers to behave like decent human beings.

My best friend’s mother had a persistent cold for a few months - but worked as a manager at a pizza place, what can you do? She was already immunocompromised because of a chronic disease, but when you don’t have sick days or insurance, you don’t have sick days or insurance.

i was a server when i got swine flu- called to tell my boss (from the ER where i got 3 bags of fluids) and she was so mad i was calling out she hung up on me. servers work sick ALL the time

Personally, I stay home when I’m sick and I yell at coworkers when they come in sick. I got goddamn strep from my old boss like 10 years ago because he was fucking Supermanning it in August with a horrible sinus infection. I had to go to the doctor for the first time in 5+ years with that one, I wasn’t able to swallow.

I remember working in a place with a three strikes policy. It was food service. Half of the employees didn’t have health insurance and couldn’t afford to go to the doctor for something like a stomach virus, just to get a fucking doctor’s note, because god knows they weren’t going to pay money to fill prescriptions.

The design of this poster is very carefully though out. Even the colors look like they were picked by an art director and the logo is stylized. Maybe I’m over thinking but there’s creative team behind this. It makes it seem less grass roots. I can’t pin down my thoughts so if someone gets the broad strokes and wants

Breasts are sexual things only and therefore dirty. Jessamina is right, these types seem to have extraordinary issues with women breastfeeding in public.

Planned Parenthood is a phenomenal organization that has helped hundreds of thousands of women, which is precisely why the GOP hates them so much. I wish you would have spit in their faces.

A planned parenthood in Ohio was the only place that would treat me when I was having pregnancy complications with no health insurance. I was visiting family, and just found out I was pregnant the day before I left. I woke up one morning during my visit with intense cramping and severe bleeding. I had no idea what to

Every time I see one of those “We shouldn’t be accepting Syrians until we save our homeless” I sooo want to comment, “Well, what the fuck are you doing to make that happen? Because posting a meme on Facebook sure as shit doesn’t help.”

Yeah, funny that food banks and homelessness don’t come up until other, more repugnant, issues are discussed. I thought the homeless deserved what they got, because personal responsibility? Now suddenly they’re infinitely important because we don’t feel like taking in refugees?

I can’t handle the number of people who fervently believe those videos are real, even after it’s been proven over and over again that they are not. “I don’t care about facts! I believe that they’re real!”

This is like the homeless veterans argument that keeps getting thrown out whenever Syrian refugees are discussed. Why not both? These kinds of things are a miniscule part of budgeting. If we actually gave a damn about homeless veterans, drug and alcohol treatment, food banks, and providing healthcare for low income

Shocking, because from what I’ve seen and read, many of the people who are anti-choice and force women to give birth against their will, are the same people who want those babies to starve because they are anti-breastfeeding. I guess life is good if you’re old enough to eat solid foods.
