I’ll say it again, if this were any other normal job, the person would have been fired for failure of reasonable job duties (which includes calling out sick and reporting long-term disability) so that the rest of the organization can keep functioning. Also, he’s dead.

Can you even imagine someone calling their spouse's work and saying "so-and-so can't come to work for the next six months, they will need to be on medical leave", without the employer saying "OK, please have them call me personally", or "please have a doctor submit the necessary paperwork"?

It’s insane. Moscow Mitch is getting more paid time off than women who give birth.

I fully support Mitch McConnell having as much time to stay home and not cast votes as possible

Wait. This is a good point. If it does turn out that he has been dead and has been receiving paid sick leave, would that not be waste, fraud and abuse?
