Yeah, I heard that. Never hard that most don't get any time off. You'll notice I asked rather than calling bullshit, since I didn't think it was impossible but thankfully it was just hyperbole based on what you say.

You really don't get any. You have to be well established in your career to be allowed to use it. You can't really say "I'm taking a day off next week" and expect your job to not look for a reason to punish/fire you.

I hope you realize that's utterly insane.

Many of us are well aware but at this point so numb to the awful and insanity we just shrug and make a shitty joke

It's not like we can do anything about it

And before you bring up unions, those only work when your coworkers haven't been brainwashed that unions are evil and your company isn't master level at squashing unions without ever getting caught...a union of one is just unemployed... And unemployment just makes all of it so much worse

Well, keep in mind that even if a job gives us PTO, any sick days we use come directly out of our PTO. So if you only get 10 days of PTO a year and you come down with the flu then bam, that is most of your PTO gone. It gets worse, even if we have the days and want to take a vacation, they don't have to let us use it and often it is very difficult to use our PTO.

You really need active unions

Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.
