All things that are illegal in real countries

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 102 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Based on the font of "Company Policies" and the fact that it's an embossed metal (or shiny plastic) sign, I'm gonna assume this is a gag decoration. However, I wouldn't be surprised about a company using this as inspiration...

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, this is one of those damn fool things you see hanging in gift shops and other outlets of kitsch, unironically on display as if it's still clever and nobody's ever seen it before. Usually right along side the very similar plaque with the "Labor rates: If you watch / If you offer advice / If you help" canard, "Harley Davidson Parking Only," "Complaint Department, Take a Number (Grenade)," and others of the same ilk.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

I've seen the "labour rates" one in a few mechanic's workshops.

Definitely more of a hint than a joke.

[–] SheenSquelcher@lemm.ee 71 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Isn't this just standard US employment terms?

[–] B1naryB0t@lemmy.dbzer0.com 53 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The only problem is generally you can't count on having Sat/Sun off

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Outside of hospitality? Is it that bad in the service industries too?

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You expect people not to buy goods or expect services on the weekend, their only "free time" to run errands?

What you're saying is, that you'll only accept that I'm sick if you genuinely hear absolutely nothing from me because I'm either dead or completely incapacitated, and then only show up later after recovering?

I can work with that.

"No one wants to work anymore"

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No one ever wanted to work, but we all do what we have to, to survive. If working as your employee doesn't allow me to survive, you can get fucked. lol

(Not you as in the person I am replying to but you know)

[–] DoubleSpace@lemm.ee 51 points 1 month ago

Sounds like someone has wasted their generational wealth and is getting desperate.

[–] hogmomma@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I have to hope that this is a joke sign.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

I think it would be the only reason to make this sign. To be ironic.

[–] MMEnterprises@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

Without a legitimate source I find this extremely hard to believe

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

No, I commute to work by ambulance

[–] jason@discuss.online 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I see this and assume it's fake. Then, my wife starts a job where they make her pay for her own background heck and drug test and tell her she will be charged $250 if she quits without a 2 week notice. How is any of that legal?!

[–] ChokingHazard@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] Remotedeck@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 1 month ago

Everything's legal if the people don't have the money for lawyers

[–] jason@discuss.online 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

I'm not disagreeing with you, but they seemed pretty adamant about it. They even said they'd send it to collections.

I'm in Pennsylvania which is a "right to work" state.

[–] spacequetzal@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

That doesn't make it legal.

Call Labor & Industry (L&I) and file a worker complaint.

Smoke breaks: smoking will happen during your shift and you will ash your cigs into the fabric scrap bins.

Thank you, Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Management

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

fucking hell, wasn't expecting that lol

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Once thing is true though, when I'm sick I'm too weak to go the doctor. That shouldn't be a requirement

Would that be legal in the US?

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

They call it Right to Work. It's truly anti union.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 10 points 1 month ago

Depends on the state

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If I saw this I would either quit on the spot or call up my union.

And companies wonder why 'people don't wanna work anymore.....'

Treating them like this isn't helping their case any.

Oh damn looks like I got the Two week flu. The phone doctor said the only cure is foreign beach air. Don't worry though, I'm hating every minute of it and I'll be back just as soon as I'm well again.

104 vacation days

“Sorry I haven’t been to work this month, I’m too sick to go to the doctor”

[–] toofpic@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The "Thank you management should be read with the intonation of "THANKS OBAMA!"

[–] Solocore@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Thats depressing

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I have (briefly) encountered employers who literally believe the first one, though.

It's a great way to get your entire workforce sick, that's for sure. That'll certainly keep productivity high, won't it?

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Most employers don't truly care about productivity or output. They just care about getting to control other people.

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

"Most employers" is very likely wrong.

But the employers of most employees, absolutely.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, no. Most people run a business to make money, not for fun.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 4 points 1 month ago

Power move: come in and vomit on the boss's desk, car, or their person.

"sorry, I was gonna go to the doctor but you know the rules"

So anyways, I started re-telling Grimms Fairy tales to my boss at work..

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

I'd work there part time to troll management until I piss them off so much I get fired.

[–] inbeesee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Would not give my money to a POS pig business like this
