The simple truth is when you treat adults like responsible adults that won’t make them behave responsibly or honestly. My girlfriend must’ve lied about being sick 90% of the time at her last job. It was a plant job that would take doctors notes though so she would use her insurance through there to schedule an urgent care if she couldn’t get into her Doctor and pay like 30 bucks for up to three days off.
She just used it to travel the country because I travel for work and she wouldn’t want to stay home if I’m going somewhere nice.
If I’m about to be in San Diego or Miami, she wasn’t about to stay home and go to work.
I will tell her to just quit but she strung it out as long as possible till they have to tell her they weren’t taking any more notes.
And she had the nerve to act offended talking about they don’t know she isn’t sick.
Was trying to fill out FMLA paperwork and everything.
Personally? When I had a bunch of people working under me, I didn’t care if they were sick or not. All I need to know is if you weren’t going to show up so I can make the necessary arrangements.
I wouldn’t lie about being sick. Id just call to tell you I’m not coming. But people do. It was hilarious around Covid. My job at the time gave everyone a huge amount of sick time so if you had a fever or a cough, you were just supposed to stay home and get paid. I’m talking 80 hours of sick time for everyone and 200 hours if you could prove you had a condition that made you more susceptible.
We had people taking three week vacations.
You give people an inch they’re gonna take a mile. And I don’t blame them. It goes both ways. Jobs are trying to fuck you and people try to fuck the job. That’s just the game.

I was told today by an 18 year old that there was no way people were writing 10-page papers without Al.
Bro, I was writing 10-page papers without having read the book.
It used to be men didn't know how babies were made; we thought women just did that. And so we worshipped the Moon and everything was peaceful. Then the Sun let men in on the secret, and this has caused so many of our problems with Israel, taxes, pollution, etc.
