A high school English teacher in Ohio is facing termination after she allegedly called out of work sick for two days to attend a concert in Nashville, Tennessee, district records show.
If I were a teacher, I’d know not to abandon my job to see a concert. If the job sucks so bad, don’t take it when it’s offered. But if you do take it, don’t try and justify bailing on it because you are underpaid.
“Sorry, I can’t come to the concert. I have to work that day.” That’s what an adult says in the same situation.
So, no. I think I won’t fuck off. Maybe grow up and learn how to talk to people that you disagree with.
I my experience with teaching in the U.S. sick days do get paid out at retirement.
Teachers typically get 10 sick days a year and 3 personal days. The sick days stack but personal days turn to sick days after you have 5 banked.
Sick days are part of your compensation package. They are yours to do whatever the fuck you want with. There's a reason most companies don't call them sick days anymore.
Ah - so so there’s no rules or laws that apply, it’s all based on what it’s called. I never understood how US functions but I’m getting a better feel now. Thank you
She wouldn't have to have used sick days if this God damn country had basic worker rights and gave people vacation time. Oh and a side note, many companies will 100% fire you if you use your vacation days. Fuck the American work environment
