What kind of lazy arse frickery is this?

quote:

Vanessa Rodriguez is recovering from COVID-19 and is quarantined at her family’s home. She tested positive May 27th, the day after working a shift at Yolk, a restaurant in One Arts Plaza in Downtown Dallas.

quote:

“Yolk had not been screening at all, like checking our temperatures,” he said.


quote:

Rodriguez says she did not go home from work that day because she was concerned her hours would be cut.

“It was getting difficult for me to breathe,” she said. “My manager said, ‘Do you want to go home?’ No, because I have a few minutes left in my shift.”

Their main concern is to keep their business running, and I understand,” Rodriguez said. “But you also want to take care of your employees and your customers.”

So it's not the restaurant's fault. If anything, they should have kicked your arse out.

Did she have sick leave? If I worked a job that didn't have sick leave and I thought I might have covid - I would continue to work, frick the company for not paying me if I get sick.

I've waited tables at two different places - neither had sick leave, but it's not like they could have sick leave anyways, because they barely paid me anything while I was there, it was all about the tips and they weren't about to actually pay me for it.

Both jobs I showed up to work with the flu, and I never skipped a day because I "felt under the weather" - and they didn't offer health insurance, so I couldn't go to the doctor either.

So you told them you wanted to stay and it's their fault for letting you?

Is Texas a right to work state? Because I’d absolutely fire both of them after this if so for going to the media with this nonsense after she was offered to be allowed to go home when the manager saw she wasn’t feeling well

You sound like a Democrat. Obamacare should have taken care of all you health insurance needs.

This reminds me of the campus sexual assault rules.

"Just because she says yes, it doesn't mean yes. She can say yes but think no and that means it's sexual assault."

This.

You don't get sick leave in a restaurant. If you're sick, work anyway.
