US work culture

If you’re from the US, you probably won’t be surprised by these things but here are some observations from over the years: -never worked at a place with sick time, so people would spread their viruses to the whole office and we would work through it -5 days off for a guy who had his first child -worked at a place with 0 time off -fired someone for having cancer -at a place with paid healthcare I overheard an HR manager say “we will not be hiring someone old because I don’t want to have to pay a higher amount” -worked at a place that didn’t have lunch or breaks (paid or unpaid) And there’s probably more. Any other fun ones you want to add?
