Anon is definitely not asian.
Asian parents would tell you to get you ass to school, even if you have Covid.
Like my mom doesn’t care if I infect the whole school with covid, as long as I’m not dead, I have to be in school.

Is it the one you use to write? Why aren’t you ambidextrous? Go to school!
latenightnoir@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Broke both of them? Perfect time to start developing photographic memory!

Nah, that’s when you get a happy ending.

You’re ambidextrous anyway because you’ve been playing the piano since your third birthday !

Yea Covid is not a secret weapon unleashed by some government. Its actually the wrath of asian helicopter parents. You’ve angered Confucious, so his spirit was invoked to teach y’all a lesson. Yep thats right. 🫠

Also if you had a single mother raising all the kids and working overtime at some factory.
I’d usually be found at school hugging a bottle of gingerale and periodically power puking in the bathroom when I was really sick.
Very rarely did I get out of it, and usually it was for strep throat or stomach infection.

My parents were not Asian and still made me go to school while sick. I’d vomit by 10am and get scolded for making them take off work because the nurse called. I’d have a 102 degree fever and go to school. Race has nothing to do with it.

Every race/ethnicity/nationality thinks they have the worst parents.

Ironically, you will probably do better in school if you take 1-2 days off to rest, instead of wasting 3-4 days going in and getting nothing out of it because you’re unable to focus. But who cares, right?
slaacaa@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
This is what I also realized with work. It’s better to rest and recover in 2-3 days, then struggle for 4-5 (even from home office). Luckily, at my workplace in Germany, you can take 2 days of sick leave without any doctor’s note.

tell that to my PTO policy. I’m getting sick and getting paid, and spending my limited vacation on times I feel good.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Or think about it this way, would you rather have 2 weeks of PTO or one week of vacation and one week of sick leave? Or even 2.5 weeks PTO vs 2 weeks vacation and 1 week sick leave and you need to provide a reason for the sick leave?
I much prefer PTO over some mixed policy, even if the mix is technically more time off.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Wait, you need a doctor’s note for more than 2 days of sick leave?
slaacaa@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yes. But please be aware that sick leave here is nearly unlimited, and you get your full salary (for several months), so of course there needs to be some control on it.
leonine@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Yeh, try explaining that to an Asian parent.
