makes me think of the good ol’t times when the air was cleaner, roads were safer and our bosses used to pay us in Thinkpads, not this “fiat money” nonsense.
my job has “paid sick time” but you cant use it if youre out of PTO and if you have PTO it takes off your PTO. how dumb is that. my coworker lost all his PTO by getting super sick for 2 weeks at the start of the year
Speedway and parent conpany 7 Eleven just did this this year everywhere it isn’t illegal. Made it so you only have PTO time and sick time takes it out of your pto. Thankfully that’s illegal in Michigan for hourly employees.
Which also has the fun situation of if you get promoted to general manager you loose your sick time because of going to salary vs hourly.
A lot of private professional trades in the US get all of these. They’re “economically viable” for a certain class of (supposedly very productive and important) staff but completely untenable for another larger, lower class of (supposedly lazy and easily replaceable) staff.
Even within the same firm.
If you work in McDs Corporate or occupy a management position at The Dollar Tree, somehow there’s money for leave that doesn’t exist for everyone else.
You might also notice a certain gender, religion, and race component to this, but I would try very hard not to think hard about it either.
