Burger King gave candy to a worker who never called in sick. The internet gave $400K ( www.npr.org )

This is a weird interpretation of workers rights

And if you read the article, you’ll see that he talks about how terrible it was to have had to work so much and how much he regrets it.

You expect people to read past the headline before responding?

You’re new to the Internet, right?

I want people on here to be better than on Reddit. Just call me a dreamer.

OK. You’re a dreamer!

And he was grateful for the candy! What a kind person. If anyone deserves that kind of money it is certainly him. I hope he gets to retire and never worry about flipping another burger while sick ( and nobody has to worry about him contaminating their food because as commendable as he is and as much as it is not his fault, thats kinda gross.)

So…he went to work sick where he prepared people’s food for a living instead of calling out (since they pay peanuts and he probably couldn’t afford to take off). Great.

Yeah, the article talks about that.

His best years wasted for a faceless corporation/franchise owner.
