  Merrill Lynch Doesn't Like SIck Employees

  I would hate to be the HR person who has to manage that policy. I would be the first to go....
  
  Its hard to believe that in modern times, a company could adopt a command and control policy that is so punitive.
  
  Sounds to me like the company is in trouble. There are much better ways to handle employee absenteeism. Of course, in a free market culture, this policy might still work, its just that I wouldn't want to be at the other end of any transaction (administrative that is) that involves employees who have to work under the conditions spelled out in that policy. It just sounds so "blow-hardish"

  Is this legal?

  This sounds discriminatory! How is it that the policy can be applicable to Admin's only. Someone may have a legitimate case here if it ever went to court.

  I say boycott Merril Lynch

  As consumers, this is our only option for penalizing companies with insane and unfair HR policies. There are millions of options, you don't need to deal with morons.
