All things that are illegal in real countries
post
Based on the font of "Company Policies" and the fact that it's an embossed metal (or shiny plastic) sign, I'm gonna assume this is a gag decoration. However, I wouldn't be surprised about a company using this as inspiration...
Isn't this just standard US employment terms?
The only problem is generally you can't count on having Sat/Sun off
Outside of hospitality? Is it that bad in the service industries too?
You expect people not to buy goods or expect services on the weekend, their only "free time" to run errands?
What you're saying is, that you'll only accept that I'm sick if you genuinely hear absolutely nothing from me because I'm either dead or completely incapacitated, and then only show up later after recovering?
I can work with that.
"No one wants to work anymore"
Sounds like someone has wasted their generational wealth and is getting desperate.
I have to hope that this is a joke sign.
I see this and assume it's fake. Then, my wife starts a job where they make her pay for her own background heck and drug test and tell her she will be charged $250 if she quits without a 2 week notice. How is any of that legal?!
It’s not legal.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but they seemed pretty adamant about it. They even said they'd send it to collections.
I'm in Pennsylvania which is a "right to work" state.
Smoke breaks: smoking will happen during your shift and you will ash your cigs into the fabric scrap bins.
Thank you, Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Management
Once thing is true though, when I'm sick I'm too weak to go the doctor. That shouldn't be a requirement
Would that be legal in the US?
If I saw this I would either quit on the spot or call up my union.
And companies wonder why 'people don't wanna work anymore.....'
Treating them like this isn't helping their case any.
I doubt it is anything but a joke. It would certainly be illegal where I live.
Oh damn looks like I got the Two week flu. The phone doctor said the only cure is foreign beach air. Don't worry though, I'm hating every minute of it and I'll be back just as soon as I'm well again.

fine print: We reserve the right to force you to come in without additional pay if there is work to do.
“Sorry I haven’t been to work this month, I’m too sick to go to the doctor”
The "Thank you management should be read with the intonation of "THANKS OBAMA!"
I have (briefly) encountered employers who literally believe the first one, though.
It's a great way to get your entire workforce sick, that's for sure. That'll certainly keep productivity high, won't it?
Most employers don't truly care about productivity or output. They just care about getting to control other people.
"Most employers" is very likely wrong.
But the employers of most employees, absolutely.
America be like…
I'd work there part time to troll management until I piss them off so much I get fired.
