Why doesn't the employer just give them the fucking sick days

[–] robotopera@sh.itjust.works 30 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well you can't do that cuz if you give one employee sick days for their dying child every employee with a dying child is going to want sick days and that might impact the shareholders.

It’s a school?? Who are the shareholders?

The fact that a school has to be pulling this kind of stuff…

Schools have budgets decided by board members who are elected by the taxpayers; and taxpayers don’t like tax hikes! Thus we have the orphan crushing machine.

or government provide better health care & more support to a family with a sick kid? according to the news, they have to travel 100 miles to get the treatment
