A high school English teacher in Ohio is facing termination after she allegedly called out of work sick for two days to attend a concert in Nashville, Tennessee, district records show.
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
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.
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.
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
Gonna be that guy, but…. Good. I’d have fired her too.

Lol
No argument about that one, the way the states treats workers is shocking.
Here’s hoping you’re not, and never will be, anyone’s boss.
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.
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.
Then don’t be a teacher. She knew the situation.
You know all about her from this rage bait story? Enough to end her career? You’re a fraud.
You need to calm down.
I can see you’ve never been a grossly underpaid teacher.
There are politicians responsible of thousands of deaths per year, and you focus on a teacher who is entitled to her sick days.
Fuck off.
Nah, fuck that. If she had sick days they are hers to decide how to use em.
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.
Teachers in the US generally don’t have “annual leave”.
Are they separate for her? Does unused sick time get paid out like leave time if unused? Or do they have unlimited sick time?

My personal days disappear if unused.

That is factually incorrect.
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
The fact they’re called sick days, and not leave days, should be a hint.
In use them as I’m sick ~of my companies bullshit~ days
This would probably work if you were smart enough to stay home.

It’s more evidence than you’ve provided.
People are treating you like an asshole for your heartlessness. But they’re not giving you enough credit for also being an idiot.
Really? Feel free to prove me wrong.
Why you’re the cunt
No source, just anger. Cool.
