[+] jatone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (10 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Arcanepotato@crazypeople.online 1 point 2 months ago (9 children) I deleted my comment because it was needlessly snarky and I regretted the behavior. But I didn't agree with your opinion on how to handle long term absence. The distinction of who pays a worker that is off for illness isn't my hang up. It's the idea that the protections people gave at work are "too much". I get 17 weeks sick leave because of my collective agreement. It's not all 100% and it needs medical certification, but it's a lot. When collective bargaining comes around you bet we get told that's "too much" and out of line with everyone else. Press releases get made about how we are greedy. I oppose the race to the bottom and pitting workers against each other rather than fighting to ensure those without protection are covered. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 9 child comments replies: [+] jatone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 months ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (8 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Arcanepotato@crazypeople.online 1 point 2 months ago (7 children) Perhaps you have information I don't?

You replied to my comment with what I feel is an incorrect statement, of course I'm going to reply. Maybe you missed the line in the article and it would be helpful to know this? I looked up the statement from the Physician and it does specify: OAP physicians visit with the Senator every day, discussing all aspects of his rehabilitation care. I don't know how to interpret that in any way but the doctor who is supplied by his employer has met with him. anyways, what are you trying to get out of the conversation at this point? I really dont care about mcconnell or his well being/job status beyond the democratic reps being spineless per usual I said this in the comment I deleted I feel like I have to say it: good thing my initial comment has nothing to do with McConnell! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [+] jatone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 months ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (4 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Arcanepotato@crazypeople.online 1 point 2 months ago (3 children) None of this has anything to do with my opinion that framing sick leave as luxurious is harmful.
