And shit like this exactly is why religion needs to be kept out of school. If someone is curious, they can learn about it on their own, it’s a decision best made once more mentally developed, anyways. Don’t indoctrinate children with your bullshit, especially if the teachers are clearly not able to keep their own shit out of it.
Her attorney said Monique is just a “normal Bible-believing Christian.”
That’s an admission of guilt, not a legal defense! O.o
I disagree. If any of those “bible believing christians” had actually read the bible they’d know to be full of shit.
The American cults are truly fascinating as they managed to create the stronges gap between staun fundamentalist religious belief claims and a comical lack of actual scripture knowledge.
It shouldnt be considered a religion but a radical ideology with loose association to Christian symbolism but no actual connection to christianity.
It is truly amazing how some people claim to be incredibly firm believers in this or that religion and then it turns out they know almost nothing about the true principles and history. Like these people lately who have been saying Jesus's teachings were 'too liberal'. WTF, I know it's how they do it, but you're not suppose to just pick and choose.
I’d say work to your compensation, not the bare minimum. Bare minimum is what you do when you make bare minimum. But- do take all your compensation. Time or money, its yours, you earned it.
The issue with the do the bare minimum attitude is it’ll end up hurting you more than them.
Do good work, be reliable, and take the time you’ve accrued/are given. This type of person is above average these days. Only incompetent managers have an issue with that.
I busted ass at my first two jobs and never got raises to match so I walked into my current one with a different mindset. I do only what’s asked of me and nothing more unless I think it’ll fun. When it’s not, I tell them to talk to my boss to get it on my calendar. It’s so much easier to avoid mistakes when you’re not stressed out from overwork.
It’s incredible. I wish I would have thought to do this 15 years ago.
I hated that article. I don't need all of the charged language or opinion. Here'sthe WSJ article if y'all want to read it of note, the WSJ isn't really making a determination here. Mostly just quoting out of touch executives and labor firms.
I'm all for work reform but how this comes back on the Wall Street Journal is beyond me.
I agree that the article linked here misrepresents the original. I think you could make a case for the original taking the old timey, generation-wars perspective of "these gen Z-ers and their entitlement", although they've clearly tried to preempt it in the piece fairly explicitly.
I also agree that misrepresenting the article erodes trust in the outlet, although to what extent Boingboing has an editorial line these days I don't know.
Yeah, even the mindset that you being sick is your personal problem. If you get sick, you should be able to be away as long as you need, without being worried that you become homeless.
Cool pro-tip that sometimes works to get around the WSJ paywall, especially if you use DDG. Search for the title of the WSJ article and put “msn” after.
It will sometimes send you to Bing’s google Amp-like (ugh, I know) MSN news site where there is no paywall.
Typical “back in my day” garbage. Why would you even want people to come in and spread their sickness? Wouldn’t that cause even more lost production time?
Regardless of whether they are present or not, if their productivity is down the drain because they can't focus or are in pain, inefficiency rises, output and profits fall.
Employees are not incentivised to take sick days. Taking a sick day means losing out on pay. They don’t want to do it, they feel the need to do it so that they can recover from genuine illness and perform at their best.
If employees are getting sick at too high of a rate, then employers need to look at the workplace environment they’re providing.
Also, remember that paid sick leave is different from paid vacation. In many states, unused paid vacation must be paid upon termination, many times regardless of the reason for the termination. Unfortunately, my state is absolute trash and does not provide any protections for workers’ rights or hold employers accountable for a damn thing. Hope this helps someone else though.
