I never said that MY former employer treated me like a slave. I liked my job and thd one I have now because I am not treated like a slave. Re-read my post and maybe you'll get it the second time.
"Showing your employees some compassion, rather than treating them like slaves"
More businesses will leave NYC because of this. They just can't afford it.

This is worth watching...from a distance.
This is the guy who wants to replace horse and carriage rides with electric cars. Did not anyone even take a peek into his background before the election????????
Nobody does their homework anymore. People need to learn all they can about who runs for elections, and from a variety of sources, questionable or not.

Gotta love how the righties think the only way for the US to succeed is to engage in some race to the bottom and see how quickly we can erase the gains of the last 100+ years.
In Europe almost anyone gets one month of paid vacation and several paid sick days, and I assure you that Paris, London, Munich, etc etc haven't become third world.
Yes.
Belgium:
20 paid working days vacation + 10 paid hollidays (including "socialist" labor day).
Paid sick leave: usualy 1 month paid for by the employer, after that first month 60% of usual wage paid for by social security for 18 months.
Those are real "rights", meaning: firmly embedded in law.
When a company doesn't offer sick time, this invariably means people will come into the office sick with contagious illnesses. If that role is public facing, then it can be a public health risk - especially for those of us who are immunocompromised.
And if KUChief really does need a transplant, he would fall into the immunocompromised boat and should be one of the first people championing sick days. If that cashier woke up with a fever but had to stick it out because she doesn't get sick time and needs to pay the bills, then that fever could become a hospital stay for people like us.

Companies do let you call in sick. It's "paid" sick time here.
And with deBlasio's bill you get that money if you don't use the time so you'll still have sick people coming to work because they want that extra week's pay at the end of the year.
Might be better if it was a "use it or lose it" policy.
40 paid sick leave hours per year.
And employees can carry it over to the next year if they don't use it or the employer can pay them for the 40 hours.
It also expanded the reasons to include "mental health days" for the employee.
When I worked at a Non-Profit Agency for the MR/DD in NY, we got 15 paid sick days a year. Staff called them "STAFF Mental Health Days". No joke. Of course, the agency knew this, and they were fine with that, because it did get very stressful and staff needed their time away to function properly caring for the Consumers.
Took my company out of NY years ago; easily top three in best decisions I've ever made.
Yeah...Sure you did.
