Sick Days For Sick Waves
At the height of an extremely hot summer along the CITIZEN coastline, many workers have taken multiple ‘sick days’ to go to the beach and had the misfortune to run into their bosses, who have ‘taken work home’ to their seaside properties. Your chief employment analyst has estimated that the economic damage of the good weather has been significant, though he says he’ll get back to you on exact figures once he recovers from an unexpected bout of period cramps that are keeping him off work today.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. “We lost a whole summer!” says Mario Cho, your Minister of Productivity, while adjusting his swimming costume. “We can’t just shut NATIONSNAME down whenever it’s a bit too hot – our economy would go broke. Of course there’s nothing wrong with bumming around the beach, but not while you’re being paid… How about we allow companies, rather than employees, to decide when somebody is sick enough to stay home from work. That’ll put an end to their malingering tricks!”
2. “I’m not a bludger because I take a few sickies,” complains Mohammed Castro, a surprisingly tanned data entry worker from his basement cubicle. “I mean cm’on, you can’t ‘spect us to work on a bloody scorcha! Maybe you could make all places of work close down when the weather is really good, then we can go to the beach and not worry ‘bout it. I mean, what’s more important, a barbie and some beers with yer mates, or more bleedin’ work?”
3. “Why can’t we just start working on beaches?” asks Faith Zaius, a bikini-clad beach beauty who persuaded your doorman to let her into the meeting. “I mean let people take the papers and printers and stuff to the beach and do the work there! Pay people for the work they do, not the hours they are in the office. Flexible workplaces are more productive, so you should be subsidising and encouraging with appropriate legislation.”
4. “I don’t really understand what the attraction of sunny beaches is supposed to be,” notes dermatologist Dr. Efthamia Jones, closing your blinds for you. “People just need to be reminded that too much sunshine and beach-side indulgence can be bad for you. There’s skin cancer, sunburn and all sorts of nasty creatures, like sharks and jellyfish. Have you seen the size of their teeth? Sharks, I mean, not jellyfish. Here, look at this photo of this man whose skin fell off after he got stung. I’ve got that picture in a Public Health leaflet, you just need to distribute them…”
