    Making sick people work is terrible for productivity…

      Not everything is about productivity, sheesh. Sometimes you just want to emiserate the poor for the joy of it.

      Them ignoring this basic capitalistic consideration just goes to prove without shadow of a doubt (in case anyone still had any) that this is 100% the cruelty is the point.

      I could see Rishi Sunak’s takeaway from this being that of course, people should be paid less for days when they’re sick.

    What a sick fuck that he actually thinks this is a problem and not a symptom of systemic failures. The only people this will punish is the poor - cuz when you make enough money and say youre sick and go golfing NO ONE FUCKING CARES. but if youre poor and actually sick your boss is probably a dickbag who forces you to get a note and will probably still challenge the shit out of you

    Telling the poor to pull their own weight while cutting taxes for billionaires.

    Typical.

    It’s wild to me what these people choose to prioritise (not really, making normal people’s lives even more miserable is a old sport of the rich, but still …)
