Actually, in older days they called it theft. ;^)) But since it's now a government mandate, I guess it's legal theft. Yet another reason why I left that shithole 46 years ago. Nemo
How DARE you assume? Maybe one of those men identifies as a woman. And therefore IS a woman. Maybe that's a completely heterosexual couple you're looking at.
HALF a FREAKING YEAR for benefits? Yup, giving "sucking off the public teat" a whole new meaning. I wonder if companies like Boston Dynamics are going to become Texas Dynamics, or somesuch.
26 paid weeks per year?? Every year??? Gonna have to double the work force, just to keep the doors open!! (All employers who are able to move are now officially in the process.)

So, they've been collecting this tax from employers and from employees for two years and its just now available as a program for employees? Slick. I wonder if you can get a refund if you moved out of MA durin the last two years.
Send in your refund application after you move out of state and see how long it takes before you are hit with an exit tax. Just because we want to be fair to everyone.
Run some numbers. There's no way this will pay for itself. This is classic getting the nose in the tent. The only question is whether talks of under funding will begin this year or next.
So if you're an employer in Mass this stands for Please F*ck Me a Little Longer. Jeez can wait till this hits MI. Here it is just Friday to Monday Leave Act(FMLA) for now. Typically used for long weekends. The scum bag doesn't want to work, then call in FMLA! The ones that truly need it will hardly take it, sad. Victor
The problem I had with FML as a manager was the abuse that goes with it and the failure of the company to ensure that the FML cases are real. At one point when the federal FML act got passed I my organization was running a 30% absentee rate and the libtards running HR would not let me to take steps to ensure that the cases were real. They just rolled over. Another company that a friend worked at would send investigators out to make sure that people were absent on FML for the reasons stated. Their FML absentee rate dropped to zero.
Mikey, my first real taste of reality occurred when I managed a production unit for a Fortune 500 company in a union plant in the mid west. I had an absenteeism problem (the same 10% of people). HR would not let me fire them. Finally at another meeting with HR to solve the problem, they admitted they do not fire people for absenteeism, and the union knew this. Guess what, I had to live with poor performance. To be open, the site had serious Safety problems, the company replaced most of the manager (me included). At the time I was pissed, too many years later I realized they did me a favor and got me out of an idiotic situation
Hey, if they want to try it, why not? The USA is supposed to be a 50 station experiment in policy. If they try it and it fails, they pay the price, and everyone else gets the object lesson.

ReplyDeleteIt’s there for me.
DeleteJust another ratchet in the war on private employers and fiscal solvency.
ReplyDeleteIf the wealthiest nation of the world cannot provide this, then we really are in sad shape.
ReplyDeleteIt's not "the nation" that's providing this. It's individual companies being forced to provide this, at their expense.
DeleteSo nice to be generous with the fruits of others' labor. In older days they'd call that slavery.

DeleteLook at the PICTURE on the website.
ReplyDeleteBam. Get woke go broke. Anon, I mean Karen, is anon for a reason
DeleteUnfortunately the employed assholes will move with the company when they leave sucks to be Florida and or Texas.
Geeezus - pic of interracial homos who just adopted some poor child. Time to permanently divorce these fucks.

I'll translate for the Conservative crowd:
ReplyDeleteMass just told Ca - 'Hold my beer and watch this'
Now thats funny.
DeleteFamily leave? Oh, they must be brothers or something, right? The wife of one of them is taking the picture, I'm guessing.

Not one single picture of a heterosexual couple.
ReplyDeleteAnd 26 WEEKS? Damn, that's gonna be expensive.
Who pays for the nice contractor to be off?

ReplyDeleteI predict a massive business exodus over this.
ReplyDeleteThen again how many gun manufacturers have relocated because of the Assachusetts restrictions on the 2nd amendment.
What are the odds they will beat the Peoples Republic of California in trying to continue taxing businesses that leave?
