9. Unfortunately at many workplaces staying home sick means no
Edited on Mon Feb-07-11 03:48 PM by LibDemAlways
pay for the day. The US is primitive when it comes to recognizing employees need for occasional time off.

And the bosses who institute the draconian policies often do not personally feel the need to abide by them. I once worked at a shitful insurance company. At Christmas a memo came down from on high that no one was to take any extra time off during the holidays. Christmas and New Years Day only. The bosses of course all were gone the entire week with no questions asked. Sucks to be a peon in America.
