Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Here's hoping you're not, and never will be, anyone's boss.
Teachers don’t have vacation days. They get 10 sick days per year. They get 3 personal days. It’s very possible the only leave she had were sick days.
You know all about her from this rage bait story? Enough to end her career? You're a fraud.
You need to calm down.
Nah, fuck that. If she had sick days they are hers to decide how to use em.
Uhh, no. Sick days are for when you're sick. Annual leave is for when you do stuff like this.
Christ, this platform beggars belief sometimes.
Are they separate for her? Does unused sick time get paid out like leave time if unused? Or do they have unlimited sick time?
I my experience with teaching in the U.S. sick days do get paid out at retirement. Teachers typically get 10 sick days a year and 3 personal days. The sick days stack but personal days turn to sick days after you have 5 banked.
My personal days disappear if unused.
People are treating you like an asshole for your heartlessness. But they're not giving you enough credit for also being an idiot.
Really? Feel free to prove me wrong.
Why you're the cunt
No source, just anger. Cool.
That is factually incorrect.
Can you bring some of these facts?
I know nothing about US workers law, only that they get like 12 days off per year, and working days are like 10+ hrs
The fact they're called sick days, and not leave days, should be a hint.
Ah - so so there’s no rules or laws that apply, it’s all based on what it’s called. I never understood how US functions but I’m getting a better feel now. Thank you
It's more evidence than you've provided.
Sorry - didn’t know I was talking to a 12 year old. My mom is stronger than yours
In use them as I'm sick ~of my companies bullshit~ days
This would probably work if you were smart enough to stay home.
Teachers in the US generally don’t have “annual leave”.
She wouldn't have to have used sick days if this God damn country had basic worker rights and gave people vacation time. Oh and a side note, many companies will 100% fire you if you use your vacation days. Fuck the American work environment
No argument about that one, the way the states treats workers is shocking.
As someone who works in an "at will" state, I agree. This absolutely happens.
And replace her with whom?
