I can believe the new CEO is surprised since he just stepped in (including the previous months of negotiations) but obviously there are things that Linus hasn't told him. And since most of the important people at the company are Linus year long friends, they had covered each other up.
And yeah, self harming to take a sick leave is fucked up, pretty sure denying sick leave to an employee in Canada is ilegal since there they actually give a shit about labour laws.
As I understand it, she wasn't "denied" it, technically, she was harassed and belittled and made to feel like a bad person for taking it.
Maybe the law in Canada can still be used? I hope so.
Canadian labour laws are trash. Better than America's sure, but still trash compared to many other countries.
It depends on the province. Usually labor laws should be a provincial power, although there is some federal laws too. Like here in Quebec our labor laws are generally quite good. No idea what it's like in BC tho, it's generally a more economic-right leaning province so I wouldn't be surprised if it's bad.
