Controversial take, but why would someone deserve recognition for carrying out work duties as per contractual agreement?
He did what he was paid for, no more, no less. Being sick or not is by and large outside of someone's immediate control and should receive neither reward nor punishment.
Think about how many times, legitimate and illegitimate, times you’ve missed work in year. Now 5 years. This guy didn’t miss scheduled work in 27 years. It’s actually insane.
Yeah, so? I took days off when I was sick, as per my contract.
He either didn't get sick (and fulfilled the contract as intended) or went to work sick (in violation of health and safety requirements).
I still don't see how that demands praise.
it is exceptional whether it demands praise or not
Are you free this weekend?
Im throwing a party for people that celebrate obeying their capitalist overlords (but not too much because that would be out of contract even though it would be voided centuries ago because no one that exploits laborers has ever adhered to said contract.)
What could possibly make you type this out and not feel shame and immediately delete it?
