So im a long time lurker of this sub and just wanted to say some words.
Im a foreman at a warehouse in an EU country and im in chock at what kind of piss porr working condions you have in the US. If I could i would offer you all a jobb at my work place beacuse shit that I read here would never fly here.
For some examples.
-
A day of is a day off and your employer should respect that. Who gives a fuck about work on a day of? You should enjoy your life on a free day and not think about work.
-
If you call in sick and your workplace is short staffed then its managements problem and not yours. And they really fucking respect that too. And whats up with a sertain amount of payed sick days? Thats really fucked up. How the fuck can some one controll how many days you are sick? Thats impossible.
-
HR should be on the employees side not the bosses.
-
Litle to no vacation. You should at least have 4 weeks of paid vacation. We are humans and not robots.
I really hope that you some day soon will have a massive worker rebellion that will lead to massive improvments in your work culture.
