    We absolutely need to make it a law for any elected office (Including state and local elected offices) that you must disclose anything necessitating an absence from your job for more than 3 days. Failure to disclose after 7 days should be considered an abdication of your post and the process for replacing you begun.

    This seems far more generous than what almost any of our own employers would do for us. not saying they can’t take a few days, but they need to tell their constituents.

      That’s a really good point. If they were actually leaders, they would hold themselves to at least a slightly higher standard than that which is required of the general population.

        right?

        most corporations assume if you no call / no show once, it’s a resignation. Sure most will also reach out to make sure you didn’t have a car accident or something, but if you just didn’t show up and ghosted them… “By Felicia.”

        That means missing even part of a shift or doing anything other than smiling and licking your bosses boot would result in immediate dismissal. You expect those pompass jackasses to hold themselves to those standards!?

        Yeah that would be pretty nice.

      Boot lickers are government contractors who are chosen based on lowest bidder. People are terrible, and you can buy someone for waaay cheaper than you might expect.

        I’m not sure what the point you’re trying to make. or the relevancy to my comment (or the post, even.) Did you mean to reply to me?
