You can’t work from home cuz we have to justify the expense of our office, and if we can’t provide the office your home is our office.

So this is the easiest opportunity for the most upvoted comment ever, thanks to Mr.As-Long-As-It’s-Not-Illegal-It’s-Fine down there!

I would still like to add my opinion: TikTok is an instrument of non-conventional warfare and espionage, why is it still running like it is

I have agreed for the longest time. But a couple of friends in intelligence are really trying to convince me this is a distraction lately. I haven’t gotten a good answer to why status quo should be allowed but those guys don’t ever consider “how end users are” when we get into it.

I think this is pretty standard for Chinese companies. My friend works for one, and she doesn’t get sick days. They must come out of her holiday allowance.

She gets treated better than her Chinese counterparts, though. For Chinese public holidays, they get the day off, but are then expected to give it back to the company at the weekend

I’m afraid I and my friend are both in the EU. Chinese companies will and do find ways…

The problem isn’t the Chinese companies the problem is the US doesn’t have any kind of employee protection laws. If they did the Chinese companies couldn’t do any of that. There was a reason they don’t operate in Europe.

I work for an American company and we have to use PTO for sick days. Unfortunately.

This is pretty standard for US companies in general.
