Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

We finally found out what they think WSJ stands for: "Work Sick Jabroni"
I'm more towards "Wake-up Silly Jackass"

Employees are not incentivised to take sick days. Taking a sick day means losing out on pay. They don't want to do it, they feel the need to do it so that they can recover from genuine illness and perform at their best.

If employees are getting sick at too high of a rate, then employers need to look at the workplace environment they're providing.

People being put on PIPs or straight up fired because they used sick leave for a few days and proved it with a doctors note is wild.
