Comment on THIS is true wisdom

I’m a school bus driver. Our district has a policy that for paid holidays (e.g. Labor Day) you have to show up for the work day prior and the work day following, or you don’t get paid for that holiday. This is ostensibly to prevent people from stretching a three-day weekend into four or five consecutive days off by taking pretend sick leave. I was a white-collar worker (programmer) for my whole career before this and never encountered any kind of rule like this.

Why would people having a long holiday be an issue in the first place?

Well, it is kinda bad when we can’t get a substitute for a driver. The day after the Eagles won the super bowl last year, more than a third of our drivers called in “sick” and we had to cancel a bunch of runs.
