👉Article If you've ever been worried about calling in sick to work, a new study says that you are not alone. A survey by OnePoll asked 2,000 employed Americans about the stress they felt when asking their bosses for time off work. It found that 58% of workers avoid calling in sick because they are worried about being criticized by their employer. The survey also found that 55% of US workers have to give their managers a reason for calling into work sick. Of that group, two in three said they feel that their bosses never believe their reasons for needing time off. Of the roughly 1,700 survey participants who can work from home, 68% said that they would work even when sick instead of taking the day off. These workers said they feel they should only take time off if they have COVID-19. Sixty-eight percent of people also said that they would work through illness because they "can't afford" to take a sick day. Some US states have laws that require workers to have paid sick leave from work, but there is no national law requiring it. Access to sick leave has become very important since the beginning of the pandemic. Studies have shown that access to sick leave reduces the spread of COVID-19, as well as other diseases like the flu. 👉Summary 如果你曾經因為請病假不去上班而感到擔心，一項新研究指出，你並不孤單。OnePoll的一份問卷調查美國2,000名受僱者，關於他們跟老闆請假時感受到的壓力。 它發現，58%員工避免請病假，因為他們擔心會被雇主指責。該問卷亦發現，55%美國員工請病假時必須提供理由給他們的主管。 在那族群當中，三分之二的人表示他們的老闆不曾相信過他們需要請假的理由。自疫情爆發後，請病假的權利就變得非常重要。 研究指出，請假減少了新冠病毒和流感等其他疾病的傳播。 👉Words & Phrases criticize批評 afford負擔得起 leave休假 References Article: Engoo Daily News (https://engoo.com.tw/app/daily-news/article/survey-most-americans-avoid-calling-in-sick-to-work/tDUs6EeyEeyxKUcjoUcU1w) (https://engoo.com.tw/) #每周一、四更新 #收聽無廣告不用APP選教育電台 線上收聽 #進一步學習語言點選教育電台 語言學習頻道 ☆若您對本頻道節目有任何疑問或建議，請e-mail 至：[email protected] ----- 英語節目主持人：屠潔(Jenny)、Neil ----- Apple｜Spotify｜Google｜KKBOX｜Fistory｜SoundOn 搜尋訂閱：世界咖啡館 ----- ----- 🎙教育電臺🎙 📻官網:https://bit.ly/39ISswV 🔗粉絲團:https://bit.ly/nerpodcastlink 🎧線上收聽:https://bit.ly/3cyxBhE 🎙Channel+精選節目:http://bit.ly/499xCn5 Powered by Firstory Hosting
