the only times i’ve ever been employed and made a livable wage while doing it was at a job with policies like this, and it was because I was basically the only employee they had ever found that could comply with such absurd expectations. You have to miss a day at some point sooner or later. Which is why I no longer work there. Was being able to have that one dentist appointment 6 years ago worth it? No it was not.
“Sorry I haven’t been to work this month, I’m too sick to go to the doctor”
I see this and assume it’s fake. Then, my wife starts a job where they make her pay for her own background heck and drug test and tell her she will be charged $250 if she quits without a 2 week notice. How is any of that legal?!
It’s not legal.
Everything’s legal if the people don’t have the money for lawyers
I’m not disagreeing with you, but they seemed pretty adamant about it. They even said they’d send it to collections.
I’m in Pennsylvania which is a “right to work” state.
That doesn’t make it legal.
Call Labor & Industry (L&I) and file a worker complaint.
104 vacation days
fine print: We reserve the right to force you to come in without additional pay if there is work to do.
All things that are illegal in real countries
If I saw this I would either quit on the spot or call up my union.
And that’s the day I quit.
fuck that, I’m gonna fuck shit up so bad with so many “mistakes” they’re gonna have to shutter the doors.
rm -rf /* mother fuckers!
Sometimes if you do a job badly enough they don’t ask you to do it anymore.

Isn’t this just standard US employment terms?
The only problem is generally you can’t count on having Sat/Sun off
Outside of hospitality? Is it that bad in the service industries too?
place i worked at had a 3 month stretch of mandatory overtime, so 6 days of working, then they added in sunday too for a couple weeks. never bothered to show up for any of them then left for a different job
You expect people not to buy goods or expect services on the weekend, their only “free time” to run errands?
No. Once you get into the more valued labor PTO and respect for time off becomes much easier to find.
Based on the font of “Company Policies” and the fact that it’s an embossed metal (or shiny plastic) sign, I’m gonna assume this is a gag decoration. However, I wouldn’t be surprised about a company using this as inspiration…
“No one wants to work anymore”
The "Thank you management should be read with the intonation of “THANKS OBAMA!”
I have to hope that this is a joke sign.
No, I commute to work by ambulance
Without a legitimate source I find this extremely hard to believe
This is what working in Japan & Taipei is like XD
Taiwan?
🤔
The line with the sick notices I can agree with. I mean… I sometimes get sick that I can barely leave bed, just sitting up makes me puke my guys out and then I’m supposed to walk to the next doctor, wait an hour … Sitting … so the doctor can tell me: “yep, you are sick”… Thank you, that trip probably delayed my recovery by a couple of days.
Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to do that useless trip in order to keep the roof over your head?
Just call them and have a telephone appointment. Job done.
