If it wasn’t for the fact I’m just weary from all the mountains of shit these so-called journalists pour out of their mouths I’d be screaming like Matt Christman right now

    My current employer has this dastardly move where if you call in sick a day before a paid holiday you have to provide a doctor’s note or else both your fto request and paid holiday are denied.

      Mine will take away your holiday pay regardless of whether or not you have a sick note.

      Just hand them a piece of paper of blacked out redacted lines (because confidentiality) and an illegible signature.

      I had a district manager once demand I bring in a note after calling in sick. I just told them “No, you don’t pay me enough to go to the doctor and I wouldn’t share any of my medical information with you anyway, you can’t make me.” I never heard anything more about it.

      Lots of employers have “rules” on the books that are realistically unenforceable or out right illegal.
