Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
No, once you're medically absent for a month, you get 60% of your wage from the govt. You can be fired at any time once this threshold is passed and they don't have to pay severance since it's considered "quitting".
My car and health insurance also depend on my employment. Losing those will diminish my chances of either some recovery or finding another job since I live in the middle of nowhere with terrible public transportation infrastructure.
They can fire you at any time after a month of sickness without paying severance? Do you live in South Africa or something? My word...
