    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?!

        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.

          That doesn’t make it legal.

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

          dude you live in the “fuck you” state.

          did you know anytime you call a call center they have a special American based call center that’s DEDICATED to PA calls?

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

            I live in a place where many shops are closed on Sundays and have reduced hours on Saturdays. The place where I was born is everything open all the time. It’s a cultural thing, also very dependent on how consumerist the country is

          No. Once you get into the more valued labor PTO and respect for time off becomes much easier to find.

      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?

        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”

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