Comment on Tesla is banned from Canada EV rebate program, gov freezes suspicous $43 million in rebates
dojan@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoHope so. They’ve been trying to undermine the Swedish job market here, and even fucking stalked their employees. Horrible company.

Wait what? Can we give more details? What do you mean by stalked?
EisFrei@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Idk about Sweden, but in Germany middle management visited sick employees at their homes to check whether they were really sick.

Holy fuck. I’m sorry, if I take a sick day I take a sick day - you might see me out shopping for groceries to survive the day, but I am by no means well.
b3an@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Uhm excuse me. If you can walk and carry groceries, clearly you are well 👏 enough 👏 to work 👏. I’m waiting on those TPP reports tetris11!
Them probably.

I don’t know if it was all the workers, but a lot of those workers hadn’t been to work all year (around September at the time).
Apparently it’s not abnormal for people to abuse the system there and do things like this.
There was some stuff about patterns of a subset of workers taking Fridays off sick as well.

the thing is: the employer has absolutely 0 say on if a person is sick or not. If a doctor says a person can’t work: that’s it. The company 0 in the matter.
In fact, the company isn’t even allowed to ask why a person is sick. An official note from the doctor is all that matters

I’m sure other EU countries have variations on this but in the UK this has already been legally decided. If somebody is abusing the sickness system you document it, you confirm it via the terrible Branford system, and then you hold them in for a meeting.
You don’t randomly turn up at their house, there is absolutely no justification for that and it is a stalking crime for them to do that.

I would love to know how much is spent trying to catch people trying to game the system, compared to lost compensation because of sick leave.
Past a point, they must surely be spending more hiring this whole team of detectives than they would be just letting the workers take Friday off.

Here’s an article. It’s in Swedish.
