I use my sick hours when I want, sick or not. If you don’t want your employees to use sick days, then you shouldn’t let them have it at all. Then watch your staff move on to other companies that respect employees more than you.

Okay, boomer.  The number of people calling out your toxic behavior should be a sign, but you think that sign says, “All is well, ignore criticism” don’t you?

The thing is, sick time is part of compensation. You want to see fewer “unsubstantiated” sick calls, then offer buy backs. “Use it or lose it” is the worst; I left 265 hours of sick leave on the table (over $20k in value) when I changed jobs years ago and I still feel like a chump. Meanwhile, I’ve worked other places…

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.

You sound like a crappy manager who seems to think that employees are clogs just like Elon and yes you are saying I’m a badass hardass curmudgeons.

If you think people are abusing the sick days that they have legitimately earned, you’re a toxic AF manager and I’m super happy I don’t work for you.

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 my employer showed up at my door checking if I was actually sick I’d THIS IS SPARTA them off my porch.

Did Elon propose calling Thierig and Demmler the Sick Squad, or SS for short?

Manufacturing would return, to a degree, but it would take many presidents.
American-made goods would be tariffed in return around the world, reducing the quantity demanded for those items.
In order to be profitable, domestic prices have to go up.

Even with the steel tariff in 2017(?), a few more steelworkers got jobs…

Manufacturing cannot continue in the US under that scenario since the input prices + labor costs will negate the ability to make profit.

An occasionally confused and stuttering Joe Biden with decades of experience is infinitely better than a completely lucid Donald Trump.

I save money for nice booze by eating my neighbors pets... wait, that's a different Republican boogeyman.

Don’t insult stupid motherfuckers like that. He’s somehow worse.

“Trump has died” will be the most beautiful sentance I will ever here. Its amazing how that fat orange tub of shit hasn’t had a massive coronary yet.

He’s one stupid mother fucker.
