The proximate cause of the famine was the infection of potato crops by blight (Phytophthora infestans)[13] throughout Europe during the 1840s. Blight infection caused 100,000 deaths outside Ireland and influenced much of the unrest that culminated in European Revolutions of 1848.[14] Longer-term reasons for the massive impact of this particular famine included the system of absentee landlordism[15][16] and single-crop dependence.

California can fricking suck as a car guy. Or a gun guy. But as a blue collar guy? It's amazing. (357)

How does it suck as a gun guy? (29)

Call me management sympathiser idgaf but this one's not nearly as bad as y'all making it out to be. The employee's looking like a bit of a smart butt here that's all. (585)

Did you even read his situation? This is a brand new manager, obviously trying to assert dominance over someone who has been there longer. (-84)

What a weird thing to get wound up over. As if none of your coworkers will know you're out sick? We have group chats at our work for this kind of thing because then other people know their duties might change because an expected part of the crew isn't showing up that day. It's not like he asked you to text everyone that your hemorrhoids are flaring up. Can't imagine why you didn't get that team lead position... (978)

I already had that Team Lead Position. I was already handling all the duties and requirements. Saved this dealership some money when they had a vendor try to come and install some retrofit arms for BEV-Compliance and discovered they didnt do their due diligence on checking if we even have compatible lifts. We didn't. But there's a lot I did that I'm no longer going to be doing. They can figure it out for themselves.So luckily now they get to return an unopened crate for a refund instead of going through the headache of returning retrofit arms that have had an installation attempt. Or worse, improperly installed and could possibly fail.The group chat didn't exist until 2 days ago. Theyve all called out sick and theres never been an issue before. It's a zero-effect on them. It's only a thing to this manager. (-68)

I find it very bizarre that the people in this sub are obsessed with exclusively doing the bare legal minimum.At my job if I'm going to miss a meeting, I tell my team. My manager isn't my Mommy. If people are going to be waiting on me, I'm gonna be the one to let them know that I will be out. (467)

IMHO it's just a manifestation of the victimhood fetish that is pervasive in modern society. It started with the reality tv shows where theres never anyone from a normal butt background on there, that's not gonna get the viewers hooked! No, we only take non-binary amputees that lost a limb in a war torn country before swimming across the ocean and landing in the US where they promptly had 13 kids, got cancer, watched all their kids die horrific deaths, lost their home, struggled with addiction before finding JAYSUS, and live in a fricking van down by the river now.So people grow up watching this shit, and they get this twisted idea that if they want to be popular, they need to have some crazy assed adversity in their lives they're fighting against. But what if they're, like most, from normal butt families and have normal butt jobs and enjoy normal butt things? Frick off outta here with that shit! You fricking NORMIE! Im better than you because Im a goddarn VICTIM, don't you understan... (2)

I have worked as both a manager and a simple peon and have seen a lot on both sides. OP, you look like a bit of a smart butt citing that code, but I do understand your reasons for not broadcasting it to everyone. Getting everyone on the 'same page' is usually a good thing. However that is not your responsibility. There are more negative aspects to this situation than positives which I don't think people realize. A company wide broadcast means that now everyone has a record of your business. There was an employee at a past job of mine who used all their sick days due to a chronic illness. Only a few close to them knew the real reason. It was nobody's business to know it and by law the company cannot share the specifics with other employees anyway. This person would also use their vacation days as their sick time off, never taking a real vacation. This was cleared with HR when they were hired. The disabilities act does so much more good than people realize. Due to the circumstances for... (2)

Disagree. Manager is delegating manager duties to someone who is not at work. John needs to be paid on the clock for any communications with coworkers. It's just a text. Also this could be construed as discouraging the use of sick time which is literally illegal besides unethical. If that's indeed the manager's intention which it may not be. (-8)

By that logic he should be paid for telling management he is sick and can't come in. Which, unless it meets the legal criteria, he shouldn't. Which it doesn't, so he shouldn't. If you feel as though the law is wrong and that he should be paid, then sure you can disagree.But it certainly can't be construed as discouraging the use of sick time. Doing so is illegal and unethical, but that's very clearly not what's happening here. Again, OP's manager instantly said yes to the sick leave. Zero questions, zero criticisms. No guilt tripping. Dude just asked OP to let his coworkers know. We'll never know the manager's hard stance on it since OP went nuclear against a coughing baby, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that if he had just said "I don't feel comfortable broadcasting my personal health, sorry", then his manager would have been fine with that.If you feel that's not something he should have to do, then sure I can see that viewpoint. If you feel that being asked that is in some way offe... (6)
