1 month agothe only times i’ve ever been employed and made a livable wage while doing it was at a job with policies like this, and it was because I was basically the only employee they had ever found that could comply with such absurd expectations. You have to miss a day at some point sooner or later. Which is why I no longer work there. Was being able to have that one dentist appointment 6 years ago worth it? No it was not.
There is 1 good reason to not do this if you live in the US and here’s why. Let’s say you don’t have health insurance. You get a diagnosis and you have cancer. It’s going to cost 10 jillion dollars to do anything about it because healthcare providers don’t give regular people the same prices as the health insurance companies get charged. Well lets say a year later you get a job with health insurance. Now you can’t have health insurance cover that because they can prove it’s a “preexisting condition”. Have fun getting all your wages confiscated due to all that medical debt so you’ll have to choose between dying in homelessness or having to flee to a country that doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the US. Or maybe Mike Johnson will let you live out the rest of your days in gulag out of generosity.
If you know something is wrong with you and are in a similar situation you’re probably just better off making the most of the time you have left on your own terms.
