The line with the sick notices I can agree with. I mean… I sometimes get sick that I can barely leave bed, just sitting up makes me puke my guys out and then I’m supposed to walk to the next doctor, wait an hour … Sitting … so the doctor can tell me: “yep, you are sick”… Thank you, that trip probably delayed my recovery by a couple of days.
Just call them and have a telephone appointment. Job done.
Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to do that useless trip in order to keep the roof over your head?
Only fucking losers refer to themselves as ‘management’
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…
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.
I’ve seen the “labour rates” one in a few mechanic’s workshops.
Definitely more of a hint than a joke.
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
fucking hell, wasn’t expecting that lol
The "Thank you management should be read with the intonation of “THANKS OBAMA!”
Corporations:
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?
Most employers don’t truly care about productivity or output. They just care about getting to control other people.
Yeah, no. Most people run a business to make money, not for fun.
“Most employers” is very likely wrong.
But the employers of most employees, absolutely.
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”
There productivity show, creating the illusion of productivity is enough.
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 you can’t work with that. Its, like, direkty examined in the sign!
/s
Once thing is true though, when I’m sick I’m too weak to go the doctor. That shouldn’t be a requirement
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.
Mildly related. In Germany (and I assume in other countries too, but I can’t confirm) depending on why your doctor freed you from work you are actually allowed to do such stuff. As example if you get called sick from the doctor for depression you are allowed to go clubbing, make a trip to the beach etc. This is because under German law you are only forbidden to do stuff that is not beneficial for your recovery, so doing stuff that makes you happy is absolutely allowed. I would suggest to not tell this your employer, because that can lead to a lot of unnecessary discussions, but you are allowed to do this.
“No one wants to work anymore”
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)
the only times i’ve ever been employed and made a livable wage while doing it was at a job with policies like this, and it was because I was basically the only employee they had ever found that could comply with such absurd expectations. You have to miss a day at some point sooner or later. Which is why I no longer work there. Was being able to have that one dentist appointment 6 years ago worth it? No it was not.
So anyways, I started re-telling Grimms Fairy tales to my boss at work…
This is what working in Japan & Taipei is like XD
Taiwan?
🤔
They are horrible people, you wouldn’t believe that shit I experienced there as a child. It seriously impacted the way i look at that island permanently.
“Sorry I haven’t been to work this month, I’m too sick to go to the doctor”
I have to hope that this is a joke sign.
Without a legitimate source I find this extremely hard to believe
I think it would be the only reason to make this sign. To be ironic.
No, I commute to work by ambulance
