DAFUQ? Josh Mandel Praises Sick Waitress, Restaurant Faces Furious Backlash

.

Don't know what she is sick from, but WTF?


Josh Mandel continues to be an idiot. He posted this tweet on his social media account on Friday, congratulating a SICK worker for coming in to work her food service job at a restaurant called Inside The Five Brewing Company (website).



Josh Mandel
@JoshMandelOhio
PERRYSBURG, OH — @InsideTheFive is a cool brewery started by two NFL vets. Great food and spirited waitresses!

Even though Brianne was sick today, she came to work because she knew they were short servers.

These are the type of American workers that make our country strong.

Joshua Aaron Mandel (born September 27, 1977) is an American politician who served as the 48th treasurer of Ohio from 2011 to 2019. A member of the Republican Party, he previously was the Ohio State Representative for the 17th district from 2007 to 2011. He was the unsuccessful Republican challenger to Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown in the 2012 U.S. Senate election.

In 2016, Mandel announced his intention to challenge Brown yet again in 2018, but later withdrew from the race. He is once again running for the Senate, this time to succeed two-term incumbent Republican Rob Portman, who announced he would not seek re-election in 2022.

Every January the president of the company would have a special lunch for those employees. I worked next to one. She came into work no matter how sick she was, sniffling, coughing, spreading her germs. And of course, our manager wouldn't have dreamed to tell her to go home.

America is sick. At too many companies, it's a badge of honor to work the most number of hours, even if you don't get compensated for it. Come in early, work through lunch, stay late, come in sick, work from home after hours & on weekends. Sacrifice your private life for the company. It's the American thing to do.

and paid the remainder in January of the next year for those you didn't use. Also paid for any unused vacation time. They put 1 1/2 % of your gross in your 401K plan and matched up to 6% more. No deductible or copay on free health insurance. This was in Florida in the late 80s and early 90s.

Sick people coming to work isn't what makes our country strong, it is what demonstrates how WEAK our country really is. She came to work because she HAD to come to work, because there is a possibility she would be fired if she didn't, she would definitely lose income, and likely with no health insurance, going deeper in the hole because one isn't at work, well don't make sense!

to attempt to repair the damage created by this buffoon, Mandel. When this first happened, I heard they had to idle their twitter page because of of all the visceral hatred they were receiving. It's fair to assume the owners are not a fan of this nimrod, Mandel.

Like wenches or fans of athletic league sports? Would the "team doc" send them back on the field? Yep, somewhere between I guess to you bet...zap 'em with drugs and out they go for the win above the loss of their career choice, concussions, injuries, probably even bronchitis...Hey, they can still be great politicians and/or restaurant owners who understand respect for a human body that is sick, injured, or in the wrong place, mentally, right? and still get that million dollar salary and the best paid healthcare.

I don't think there's a woman or man alive who has not struggled with balancing a less than equal or non-living paycheck with the need to nuture her own or her family's health...Is she really working her way up to a career at the likes of a Cameron Mitchell? Bet she's just got a personal goal or a need to pay some bills and staying home without sick or PTO benefits means she'll fail at that sooner rather than later. "Nothing personal; just business." Josh Mandel should STFU!

But she's not worth $15 an hour and paid sick leave, is she Josh? I mean, if she was paid a living wage, she might be able to afford to take a day off when she's sick. Another small way that workers are exploited for the upward distribution of the wealth that labor creates.

Is begging for a visit from a health inspector. Depending on local laws he could get his restaurant temporarily shut down by allowing sick employees to work.

Everyone knows restaurants force sick employees to work. Most are smart enough not to brag about it in public.
