Pinworms man. Eosinophils try really hard but they just aren't that good at their job. However, they are much worse when they have nothing at all to do.

A miniscule amount of people have lied about this, so we must force every person who dares ask for 1-2 days off work to grieve to prove they are grieving. No one has ever used this excuse for a similarly tragic event that wouldn't be allowed time off to deal with. It's definitely not the business' duty to confirm if they are suspicious. It's actually a natural thing to require someone, in the process of grieving a loved one or close friend, to get a copy of the death certificate so you can confirm you didn't lie to your boss.

SpacePig posted:I wonder if people make up family deaths because that's basically the only way to get a day off work without being sick yourself. Getting a day off work, especially lovely hourly work, should be much easier than it is. Most hourly workers (at least in the US) need to plans weeks or months in advance. And for something like retail having even one person out in a day can cripple the department they work in. They fake it because there’s no way to just have a day off so soon into the future. And I can’t imagine there’s too many managers that give a person something like a mental health day out of the goodness of their heart.

Oh yeah, every department is run very purposefully on the razor's edge of productivity, so losing even one person for even an hour causes things to go very badly for the rest of the shift. Like, I get people being disappointed that somebody lied to get a day off, but maybe they should direct their anger at the people that make it so hard to get a day off without an emergency.

Yeah, having worked the gamut from menial labor jobs to lovely office jobs to 'good' office jobs, the contrast is incredibly stark and people can miss out entirely on working the first two (or have their experience with retail/food service be 'was a teenager who worked 10 hours a week') and just completely not understand the way over half the working population lives.

xtal posted:In America mental health days are called "going postal" Which itself is darkly hilarious, that people in what is widely regarded as the cushiest of all jobs in America — federal government service — are synonymous with outbreaks of stochastic workplace violence. Thirty years after it was bizarrely a thing, "going postal" is still a term we use, and the word "disgruntled" is invariably paired with "postal worker" in our heads

OwlFancier posted:Mental health days are a thing? My office combined our sick (10 days) and personal days (5) into 15 wellness days a few years ago that you can take for any reason. 3+ in a row needs a doctor's note though. They're paid days, can be carried over at half value to extra vacation at year end or cashed out. Edit: Canada, though this is beyond the legal requirements which is 2 paid sick days per year.

And I can’t imagine there’s too many managers that give a person something like a mental health day out of the goodness of their heart. I'm really lucky that my boss is super chill, and I can send him a morning text message like, "hey I need a mental health day, see you tomorrow" and he'll just give me a thumbs up. And yet we STILL had a guy who called out for emergencies so frequently it was almost predictable. Everyone knew he was lying, but my boss didn't want to be a dick and ask for proof, so we all just sort of rolled our eyes and stopped trusting him. Then he faked having covid before lockdown started, which affected not only us but multiple other companies in the building we worked in. There were less than 100 cases in the entire state at the time so we figured out he was faking pretty quickly and he confessed. He doesn't work with us anymore, unsurprisingly. It just baffled me. Our boss is so cool about giving us reasonable time off and being really understanding about illness and mental health, and he still felt a need to lie to get a day off. Thankfully since none of the rest of us abuse the system he didn't ruin it for the rest of us.

And I can’t imagine there’s too many managers that give a person something like a mental health day out of the goodness of their heart. The first week of January I scheduled a visit with a mental health doctor. The only day they do that testing is a Friday so I scheduled it for the 29th. I figured it was three weeks they can figure out who can cover my desk for the day, DENIED. So this testing I wanted to do early in the year so that I could maybe not be so miserable every day of my life ended up pushed back to March 26th.

Arsenic Lupin posted:So do scientists. The rise in food allergies is absolutely real, and is not something like autism or ADHD where the answer is "Nobody was paying attention." There's a lot of research going on, and so far not a single definitive cause; it looks like it may be multifactorial. I want to add to this one since they seem to have big correlations: Breast feeding C-section births. Lots of kids in the 80s and 90s were formula fed and c-section babies. Again: correlation, not cause.

If you're getting away with lying about things your boss won't check up on, why would you even think to use a lie that they would be forced to check up on by law? Holy poo poo. Maybe some people just can't help it.

I didn't have any food allergies until age 23, and it stayed at two until perimenopause. Yes, menopause can 'cause' food allergies. (No environmental allergies til. . . about age 21, I guess? It was roses.) For the record, I was breast-fed, had plenty of germs/animals/mud, not a c-section baby, no antibiotics til I was 9 (I think), no acetaminophen til . . . maybe high school, no weight problems til after puberty, no vit. D deficiency ever. Yay, I suck at life?
