Definity a fake post. The small text says the cost of the check deducted from the employee's payroll.

"cost deducted from employee's payroll" is the most realistic part, IMHO. I worry this joke will give someone ideas IRL. And that part is how they will sell it to CEOs.

That part is currently illegal even in the US. So, baking it into an app would be a bad idea. Most of the time companies do illegal things, they try to be less explicit.

Probably the only reason it's not written into Project 2025 is that they didn't think of it

Tesla might get in some serious trouble in Germany for allegedly doing this to sick employees.

Yup, good eye - we're at least two election cycles away from that being plausible.

Yeah not holding my breath that my assumptions on what's reasonable in American work culture will last forever.

Honestly, based on the stories of what's happening in America. That's not a reliable indicator.
