German chancellor Friedrich Merz announced sweeping tax, pension and labour reforms today, including that workers will now be required to get a medical certificate saying they’re too unwell to work from the first day of sick leave.
Except when you go back to work you look over and see a coworker working who has three kids and you know is financially struggling and can’t afford to get fired but they are clearly sick as hell and the whole office is uncomfortable…
…and then you realize… hopefully that simply personally rejecting this work environment isn’t enough, you need to unionize effectively so that this doesn’t happen.
They need to fire the dumb fuck who made the rule, but I’m not sure what system they use there and how long they’re stuck with him.
‘They’ use a democratic system which means that usually they are stuck with the “dumbfuck” until the next election. Very much unlike in dictatorships where they are stuck with the “dumbfuck” for much longer while any critique similar to what we read here would be harshly punished as ‘they’ have no say.
I mean I’m not an idiot, i know they use a democratic system, but there are more than one way of doing it, and they have differing lengths of service. If it was like Canada and they happened to have a minority/coalition government, you could potentially even trigger an early election if there was enough discontent among the people and other parties.
Our last PM in a minority government had to step down after the party started to abandon him and that involved discontent from the populace (edit and then his successor) called an early election.
Edit: That wouldn’t happen in a system like the USA.
I didn’t mean to call you out. What I wanted to say is that although the system may be imperfect, it is better than in dictatorial regimes celebrated by Novara Media.
This is a textbook example of selection bias by a propaganda medium. They single out 1 measure out of 34, publish “the West bad” tonality, and then hail autocratic systems like the one in China as the solution, although the welfare system and labour rights there are catastrophically worse. This is an essential part of disinformation warfare.
Feel sick.
Call in sick.
Get told to get letter.
Don’t get letter.
Go back to work when well
Get asked for letter.
Go fuck yourself and fire me if you’re going to.
Any job willing to enforce that isnt worth working at.
