Coronavirus - Take two - Action!

[guohua]

Made the mistake of trying to do the right thing, called into work saying I was sick, probably a sinus infection.  They told me I needed to be seen by a doctor, so I go, and he says i have enough symptoms to warrant getting tested.

Couldn't get tested until 2 days later because a storm rolled through on Tuesday, now I'm waiting for results still.

A week of work missed, and my favorite part?  If the test comes back negative, I have to use my own vacation time!  What a fucking joke, next time I'll just go to work and act fine, because next time I'll be all out of vacation pay.

WOW, Sorry to hear they want to Treat You So badly, I'm hoping you're OK but you do have a Sinus Infection and you're work covers your sick days.

At my job, we get one sick day.  One.  Plus one personal day.  Plus whatever vacation time you've accrued.  I have about 2 1/2 weeks.  My company is really great with some things, and complete shit with others.

America seems to be behind the ball compared to other nations regarding time off, especially places like Sweden.

I don't know about that.
My husband was getting 2 & 1/2 days a month for sick leave from day one on the job and two weeks a year of paid leave for the first 5 years and then it went to 3 weeks of paid leave and at 10 years it went to 4 weeks of paid leave and after 15 years he was getting 5 weeks of paid leave a year.
Plus a month of paid sick leave a year.

Most jobs here get 2 weeks of paid leave and some kind of paid sick leave.
I don't know where people get this idea America has bad Healthcare and bad employment benefits. I do blame disgruntled bad reporting from the MSM and magazines that have an Axe to grind with someone that fired them for being Lazy.

Look at Teaches, 3 months of paid vacation time if they want to have a small portion of their pay deducted.
Most people working in the Federal law Enforcement Field can retire after 20 years or the age of 52 or mandatory at 56.
Draw their Federal Retirement and get a second or part time job and continue to pay into their Social Security for a larger payment each month when they decide to draw it.
