Workers in California will soon receive a minimum of five days of paid sick leave annually, instead of three, under a new law Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Wednesday.
The law, which takes effect in January, also increases the amount of sick leave workers can carry over into the following year. Newsom said it demonstrates that prioritizing the health and well-being of workers “is of the utmost importance for California’s future.”
“Too many folks are still having to choose between skipping a day’s pay and taking care of themselves or their family members when they get sick,” Newsom said in a statement announcing his action.
It was always on a Friday or Monday coincidentally.
The problem is that you’ve bought in that the company’s problems are yours. They want you to feel like it’s your problem, your responsibility so you take on the extra work for free instead of hiring someone else.
Do you get a bonus based on the company’s profits? For what reason might you have to care that ‘the work gets done’?
I’ve worked in places that try to nurture that “we’re all in this together” mentality but it’s never time for them to pitch in for you. They only foster this to get you to do free labor.
so remember: your fellow’s work habits are none of your business, eh?
