How bad of a manager can you be to not understand this? When your sick leave is more than three times as high as the automotive average, then your working conditions are so bad people are getting sick. Being too exhausted to work or unable to take another day of horrid working conditions at the end of the week is a symptom of that. Not being able to make it through a late shift for health reasons is not abusing the Healthcare system. That is what it’s for. Stop treating your people bad and they will be healthier and come to work. How hard is that to understand?

It’s such a shitty joke. But I sometimes like shitty jokes.

In this case it is the government spending money from taxes paid by the people to improve the lives of the people who elected the government to govern the country to make it worth living in.

I’m not sure my brain can handle this.

I’m very good at trying to sleep.

That never helped anyone with this problem.

I only know the German translation where the name is Petterson.

Petterson is iconic but he would be nothing without Findus.

Why would anyone want to mitigate ramen.

Most people who think of themselves as ugly aren’t nearly as ugly as they think imo.

Often they are average looking or slightly below average looking. And that’s only in regards to the conventional beauty standards. We just easily get a false sense of what normal people look like these days.
