    Who cares about the legality?

    If somebody’s house burnt down, you give them whatever they need. Any company not giving somebody in that situation paid time off is a shitty company. I know for sure my boss would give me whatever I needed and asked if he personally could help in any way.

    Employees are humans first and foremost and need to be treated with respect and compassion, not slaves to be exploited and punished.

      A public company will 99,9% of the time be shit, that’s why you need strong worker protection enshrined in legislation. The fact that all the downvoters didn’t get the subtext is one of the reasons you got to this situation in the first place. The average literacy in the US is godawful and the political process only works in easily digestible soundbites, so complex themes like worker protection get relegated to the back seat in favour of who uses which bathroom.

        Holy shit take the L.

        No one here disagrees with that, or is unaware of the “sUbTeXt”.

        That’s just not how subtext works. You don’t get to say one thing, then claim you meant something entirely different (the reasonable take) and call it subtext.

            You’re not doing your home country any favors. Your inability to understand the situation is astounding really. Where are you from that made you so damn smart?

                If that was a typo for America, and you are trying to say you’re American, you’ve got at least one thing in a prior comment that’s a dead giveaway that you are not.

                    Wat? I made one comment replying to one word in which a letter was replaced with an exclamation point. I wanted to be sure I didn’t misunderstand anything before I said too much. Where did I claim to be smarter than anyone, and what evidence did I make to the contrary?
