With issues like misplaced paternity, people should be dna tested before they marry, anyway. Your first cousin might not actually be your first cousin, and the stranger you meet on the street might actually be family. I’m just saying.

Gonna be that guy, but…. Good. I’d have fired her too.

MisterFeeny ,

Nah, fuck that. If she had sick days they are hers to decide how to use em.

Ilovethebomb ,

Uhh, no. Sick days are for when you’re sick. Annual leave is for when you do stuff like this.

Christ, this platform beggars belief sometimes.

catloaf ,

Are they separate for her? Does unused sick time get paid out like leave time if unused? Or do they have unlimited sick time?

93maddie94 ,

I my experience with teaching in the U.S. sick days do get paid out at retirement. Teachers typically get 10 sick days a year and 3 personal days. The sick days stack but personal days turn to sick days after you have 5 banked.

My personal days disappear if unused.

Test_Tickles ,

Sick days are part of your compensation package. They are yours to do whatever the fuck you want with. There’s a reason most companies don’t call them sick days anymore.

Ilovethebomb ,

That is factually incorrect.

Oisteink ,

Can you bring some of these facts?

I know nothing about US workers law, only that they get like 12 days off per year, and working days are like 10+ hrs

Ilovethebomb ,

The fact they’re called sick days, and not leave days, should be a hint.

Oisteink ,

Ah - so so there’s no rules or laws that apply, it’s all based on what it’s called. I never understood how US functions but I’m getting a better feel now. Thank you

Ilovethebomb ,

It’s more evidence than you’ve provided.

Oisteink ,

Sorry - didn’t know I was talking to a 12 year old. My mom is stronger than yours

This would probably work if you were smart enough to stay home.

Teachers in the US generally don’t have “annual leave”.

She wouldn’t have to have used sick days if this God damn country had basic worker rights and gave people vacation time. Oh and a side note, many companies will 100% fire you if you use your vacation days. Fuck the American work environment

Mastengwe ,

Lol

Ilovethebomb ,

No argument about that one, the way the states treats workers is shocking.

Ilovemyirishtemper ,

As someone who works in an “at will” state, I agree. This absolutely happens.

Here's hoping you're not, and never will be, anyone's boss.

Mastengwe ,

Right… firing someone for calling in sick so she can go to a concert when her job is teaching children- and they’re the bad guys.

There’s vacation days for that shit. She’s irresponsible and shouldn’t be a teacher.

BreakDecks ,

You need to calm down.

    If I were a teacher, I’d know not to abandon my job to see a concert. If the job sucks so bad, don’t take it when it’s offered. But if you do take it, don’t try and justify bailing on it because you are underpaid.

    “Sorry, I can’t come to the concert. I have to work that day.” That’s what an adult says in the same situation.

    So, no. I think I won’t fuck off. Maybe grow up and learn how to talk to people that you disagree with.

    aniki ,

    You know all about her from this rage bait story? Enough to end her career? You’re a fraud.

    93maddie94 ,

    Teachers don’t have vacation days. They get 10 sick days per year. They get 3 personal days. It’s very possible the only leave she had were sick days.

    Mastengwe ,

    Then don’t be a teacher. She knew the situation.

    Ilovemyirishtemper ,

    And replace her with whom?

    ghostface , to news in Tennessee Black women 2.5 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes: report

    npr black maternity crisis I would put this just on Memphis. It’s an issue effect black ppl across the US. For various reasons, but mainly the staff being overworked and dismissive. Nothing intentional to point

    yuriy , to news in Bill to make marrying your first cousin illegal in Tennessee passes but not without a fight

    All the fuckers in here pretending they actually believe “love is love” just so they can use it as a cudgel against the absolute monsters who think incest is wrong.

    What the fuck is wrong with you? Go have your bad faith arguments somewhere else.

    werefreeatlast , to news in Bill to make marrying your first cousin illegal in Tennessee passes but not without a fight

    Step son/daughter or sibling? Is that in the laws yet?

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Why should it be illegal to have a relationship with someone you’re only related to by law? I mean yeah, naturally this will rarely ever happen and it’s kinda weird to think about, but something being weird is hardly a reason to ban it.

    moon ,

    It’s actually extremely common, some guys will even be with hundreds of step sisters! Of course I get this knowledge from porn, but that’s not my point.

    force ,

    Why should it be illegal to have a relationship with someone you’re only related to by law?

    Logically only the same reason you couldn’t have a relationship with first cousins. Inbreeding isn’t exactly a problem for first cousins, they’re genetically different enough for it to not have much of an affect until multiple generations of it (plus same-sex people, sterile people, people who just won’t have kids), so the only plausible argument for it is “marriages between family members are more likely to be from grooming/manipulation/abuse”. Which I don’t think is flawless reasoning to make it illegal, same thing could be said about many other perfectly legal types of relationships. But it is a reason.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    That’s a fair point actually. Sometimes I forget how fucked up some people are. A ban would not necessarily help tho, because you can reverse or overturn an adoption under certain circumstances. So you could still groom all you want and then try to convince your adoptive child to leave the family and marry into it again (or maybe even force them somehow).

    I think probing for grooming/wellbeing of the child might be a better way to handle this overall.

    This sounds like the shittest scam ever and one that is very easy to avoid.

    Kusimulkku , to news in Bill to make marrying your first cousin illegal in Tennessee passes but not without a fight

    It’s legal in Finland. It’s pretty damn rare. I wouldn’t consider it a hugely shocking thing though, cousins usually aren’t very close here. Would make for weird family relations though.

    KillingTimeItself , to news in Bill to make marrying your first cousin illegal in Tennessee passes but not without a fight

    Belastend , to news in Bill to make marrying your first cousin illegal in Tennessee passes but not without a fight

    Does that mean i have to fight my cousin before i can marry them?

    rostby , to news in Tennessee Black women 2.5 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes: report

    At least half of that is because of north Memphis

    fadhl3y ,

    Can you explain that for me? I’m from the UK and I don’t know what goes on in North Memphis.

    ZombieTheZombieCat ,

    I think the assumption they’re making with that comment is that this is a result of a higher population of Black women in a specific area of TN, but “more likely to die” isn’t necessarily the same as “more deaths,” though that may also be true. As the doctor in the article points out, there are factors like discrimination by health care professionals (such as not being believed when they’re telling the doctor there is a problem) and complications that occur in higher numbers in Black women (which can be due to other facors stemming from systemic racism such as income, healthcare access, environmental racism, etc).

    This is a short article, but there’s plenty of papers out there about how people are treated differently by doctors and have different levels of access to healthcare in the US based on what population they belong to (racial, ethnic, lgbtq+, etc) and that women of color typically have the poorest healh outcomes.
