Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Public secotr employes told not to get sick

Jill Singer sent out a notice saying that a typical workyear has 2080 working hours and the goal is to charge the government 1764 hours.

So in days, that's 260 days and charge 220.5. So take off the 9 company holidays and vacation for OLDER workers (that they like Stinky are targeting) and your left with about 2-3 days. So if you dare take a employee service day, have some close to you die, get sick, take a caregiver day, you are already non-compliant.

Seems actually criminal if the company allows for so many legitimate days that are provided and can be verified if they really wanted to, that they can now claim you are deficient if you have to use them. Don't wish anyone to be fired over it, but if they do, sounds like a legitimate whistleblower case given they force government timing down the throats of every public sector employee every year.

If a major company has a corporate policy of unlimited sick days, but then secretly tells employees they can’t take any sick days, that could present legal and ethical issues:

  1. Breach of Contract / Misrepresentation

• If the company advertises unlimited sick leave as a benefit (e.g., in offer letters, employee handbooks, or policy docs) but discourages or denies use, this may constitute false advertising or breach of implied contract.

  1. Potential Legal Violations

• State and federal labor laws (such as the Family and Medical Leave Act or state-level sick leave laws) may require a minimum amount of leave. Interfering with this right is illegal.
• If the company retaliates or disciplines employees for taking leave, it could violate retaliation protections under labor laws.

  1. Workplace Culture Issue

• Even if not technically illegal, a policy that discourages using the benefits it claims to offer undermines trust and may expose the company to liability or reputation damage.

If you’re in this situation, documenting any contradictory messages and seeking advice from HR or an employment lawyer would be wise.

What level is Jill? if she’s in leadership and actually sent out an email with the wording you described, she shouldn’t be in leadership. She’s obviously attempting to violate corporate policy

Call HR and have them give her a call.

She can’t tell you not to take PCGL or one of your unlimited sick days.

Probably on orders from the Stink - so they get workers to violate federal laws and then the Stink can fire them - no severance! Win!
