42. “People Abuse Sick Days”
I just turned down a job because they said they didn’t offer sick days as “the science proves that people abuse sick days”, and that if I couldn’t get my shift covered I’d only be allowed to call in if I was “on a gurney into surgery after a car accident or something”. Direct quote. I have a chronic illness that requires surgery every year or two so I brought that up, and they started asking detailed questions about my medical conditions and then said “everyone has problems”. NOPE.
Oh, they also had me do a “working interview” to see if I was a good fit, then disappeared for over an hour and I was sitting there wanting to leave but couldn’t find anyone to sign off to. They didn’t pay me for that time lol
