Comment on Just checking in to see if anyone cares that the mumbling turtle is still on full salary while being MIA for two-and-a-half months

  Yes, that’s one of the things that happens in this violent and inhumane nation. I now live in Europe, and I had a lot more than 75 days of sick leave when I had my amputation. I still have my job and my employer isn’t mad at me in the slightest, because here it’s understood that shit happens and that’s life.

    Now the orange felon has made it nearly impossible for americans to leave because the world hates our guts even more. I’d be embarrassed to even go to another country without a short that just says SORRYYYYYY on it.

      The world isn’t reddit/lemmy, most people aren’t going to say or do anything unless you act like an asshole.

        Yeah true. I’d still rather just pretend I’m Canadian

      I certainly would be careful about saying you’re American if you go on vacation abroad. But I’m a long-time expat, and I can tell you if you behave well and you integrate in the society of your choice, people know the difference between ugly Americans and those who choose to be better.

  Fired, and at his age, since no one works at that age by choice, homeless.

  Mitch would croak so fast if he heard that Congress passed a bill giving Americans job protection for sick leave equal to the length of his absence.

    He’s already dead. He would rise from his coffin to vote nay on such a measure.
