FlufreePA Can Suck It

I just got done watching a PSA from the Commonwealth of PA urging me to stay home if I think i have the flu. Because, apparently, the thought of staying home when sick never occurred to me.

Yes, asshats, the reason people go to work when they are sick is because they just love work so much! And they're too stupid to see the wisdom of resting while sick.

PA has no sick day requirement. Employers* can offer 4 or 2 or none. PA is an "at will" employment state. That means you can be fired at any time for any reason- including being sick. Maybe, instead of using my fucking tax money for stupid fucking PSAs, you fix that.

Assholes.

I Do So Love a Recession

This is not a role model, people.

This is what one partner said to the other, no less than 3' away from me:

Partner 1: Do you know they [the secretaries, etc.] get 4 sick days and 1 personal day?

Partner 2: Really?

Partner 1: It's a recession, they're lucky to have a job at all! I say we cut it down to 2 sick days and no personal days for next year.

Partner 2: It's not like they're going anywhere.

I swear to you, that is what was said less than 5 minutes ago. Capitalism, it's fucking awesome.
