Seriously….maybe you'd get a boss to let you go to the funeral on your lunch break or leave early one day if you're lucky...

And they would still take your ETO away…

It has it's moments @Matty123 I talk to my brother who now lives in Brooklyn and sometimes struggles for work, and often wonder how I'd get on there. The US system certainly keeps you sharp and driven, whereas I suspect Norway was blunted my competitive edge…
Nah…Norway sounds awesome. The US system of working is overrated and keeps you on the path to cardiac arrest and other stress related illnesses.

I worked about eight years in middle to upper management in the high school system and one of my teachers lost her teenage son in a car crash. This was in April. We just gave her the rest of the school year off, no questions asked. She came back to work in August. Squared it with the local authority after the fact. They didn't argue much.

I’m guessing the time off is with full, or near full pay?
My real issue with US business customs is the way they treat new mothers. It’s disgraceful. Sorry, perhaps this is bordering on political, and MODs can delete if they wish.

Full pay. Social services pay some of it, your employer pays the rest.
For the record, I personally don't consider this particular statement to be political as it's about the way employers treat their employees and differences in practice. That being said it does have the potential to be a political issue because it involves social policy and gender. But we'll deal with that if it happens

No doubt, hell mothers to be as well. My ex was laid off from her job of several years when she got pregnant. Of course they didn't outright tell her that and list that as the reason for termination but everyone knew that was the real reason she was let go.

Like manufc said. It’s overrated. Work your balls off for what? If you, god forbid, had to move here. U would get your edge back. Sink or swim here. I bet I’d like Oslo. Eye contact and all.

It's full of cool, hipster types at the moment, and is very laid back.
So it’s exactly the same as South Alabama. Good to know

I just used Oslo as an example. I meant would like Norway no matter where. But yeah I hear you. Im deep
Enough in the burbs that we don’t get the super hipsters. Unless they get off the new haven-nyc metro north line by mistake. -

I’m comfortable with the blanket generalization that American employers/government/authority treats pretty much everyone like replaceable garbage. There’s very little empathy or compassion in the mindset here. This also trickles down into a lot of interpersonal relationships here in a way that’s super unhealthy. Not a fan.
Cool shirt, Mike!

? Is this relating to something I did or said?
