80% of post in antiwork are about people asking permission for even going bathroom.
Asking for permission for that, or go home because you're sick, or for vacations, or just to be absent for a medical appointment, even for going lunch.
Is like all jobs in america see workers as kindergartens, like they need to be taken care of or they will do bad things.
Here in Denmark if u wants to go bathroom you just go, you see cashiers playing phone games and sitting while waiting for customers, if I'm sick I just tell them I won't be going work in the next days, they don't even ask me why. And I can even take mental care days, and for vacations?? I just tell them with enough time, in my job we even have a calendar where people write the weeks they won't be available for all of us to know.
I used to work in America some time when I was very young, and can't remember being treated the way everyone here always complains.
