I worked for businesses like that before. I worked at AT&T, and they had rules like that. When I got diagnosed with diabetes, I had to keep going to get my A1C checked because I could end up going into diabetic shock or worse, go into a coma from hypoglycemic shock,

If Saturday and Sunday are the only days off at that place, a sick person wouldn't be able to go to the doctor. That's crazy, lol. Working at AT&T, if it snowed and the roads were closed, you still had to come in. I wrecked my car once trying to make it, ended up with a conclusion apparently, and then when I was hospitalized, they terminated me, and tried to fraud me out of unemployment, but one of my friend's called in for me and threatened to sue on discrimination and I did get the unemployment for 2 weeks before the challenged it.

Last year I went to work with my blood sugar being still over 1,200 and my foot being broken, and they kept writing me up for not doing my job correctly. Jobs are getting harder and harder!

If push come to shove I would. However, I would have to be super desperate and they would never get 100% effort out of me. Bare minimum.

I worked for companies with similar rules before. I hardly miss work except maybe a total of 3-5 days a year. Thats a mix of doctor or vacay and I often didn’t use vacay nor sick hours when doing so. A lot of companies got mad they had to pay me out my sick/vacay hours at the end of the year because I never used em lol. If I don’t wanna come to work, I just dont come. You dont get a heads up and fck an excuse, I just didn't come. I also dont give 2 week notices. I quit my first job because of how they worked us and didn't even allow us to have A/C because they wanted to save money. When I put in that 2 week notice, they piled extra shit on me so i decided not to even come the remainder days. When I quit a job, its become i never intend to come back, so fck a 2 week notice. I’m burning that bridge before they try to burn me

Absolstinkinglutely Not! I imagine lunch is having to regurgitate last evenings meal to rechew, like a cow does to it's cud. Also, no going to the bathroom except before and after your shift.

If I worked for a company with that sick day rule I would go into the boss's office to explain that I am sick and puke on his desk. If he tried to tell me to go home I would point out that their rules do not allow me to do that and return to his office each time I needed to puke.

I've done plenty of jobs that were sort of like that. You could take occasional says off, but they were unpaid. Construction work especially is like that. If you work, you get paid. If you don't work, you don't get paid. Pretty straightforward. In outdoor construction work, if you get to work and it starts raining, or is too windy to safely work, you go home and don't get paid.

There are a lot of jobs besides construction that are similar. Companies are under no obligation to pay someone for time they didn't work.

Farming is like that. The cow needs to be milked, every day. The eggs need to be collected, every day. When it's time to plant or harvest, it must be done, and must be done now.

Having said all of that, that sign is probably fake. I can't see a company actually posting a sign like that.

abc3643 · Answer

I actually do work a job like that and it's great!

I am a contractor.
It's simple:
I get paid a very nice hourly wage.
Every hour I work is an hour I get paid for.
Overtime means I get more each hour.
If I don't work, I don't get paid.

So, if I want to take a 1-month vacation, I take a 1-month vacation. Unpaid, but guilt-free. Of course, I DO have to be sensitive to the needs of my customer since they need to have the work done and my job is not guaranteed and, in fact, often comes to an end only to be rehired later when there's a new project.

Noone would work there, in germany the company would be shut down for violating workers rights.

comekitty · Answer

Well - my work requires a Dr. s note for any Friday off in December or May or if it's already a three day weekend... it's insulting being treated like a five year old.

No, fuck that manager. I hope they go out of business ASAP.

Nerdvana · Answer

Yes, I would. Not trying to be funny. I am being serious. But I also understand where that company is coming from.

red324 · Answer

Makes sense. If you can get up drive to the doctors office, wait in the waiting room, you're fine.
