1. If a company is using private detectives to catch people not sick on their sick days, isn’t the cost of using said private detectives outweigh the eventual “loss” of the person not sick on his sick leave?

2. This is a common tactic in the US healthcare system, so don’t love seeing that in Europe. Also, that’s not how anxiety works, which is why we use doctors to assess, not Inspector Gadget.

3. I am sorry, but how are we on the bus drivers side here? He should be fired no?

4. Well, driving the bus in Rome surely bring anxiety. Singing and playing the piano doesn’t. So, I don’t see the problem

5. I would rather take a huge payout than go back to work for these sickos.

6. The only reason he got a private inspector on his ass was because he did this routinly and dodged work with phony medical leaves, deserved firing and shame on the courts for defending him

7. Let the anxious man sing! How is this supposed to make him less anxious..

8. Not only that, the bus driver was sued, but thè court ruled in his favor as singing in a bar it’s a solid and scientific-proven way to overcome depression.

   Justice is done.

9. Jerry, you don’t understand, thats the way they talk in Italy,
   they SING to one another!

10. Hmm, it’s almost as if it was something at work, and not in his personal life, making him anxious…

11. This is part of the treatment; I don’t see the problem. Not that he had a medical leave for a broken leg, but was seen skying or something like that.

    When the issue is in the head, the treatment must imply doing activities that bring joy and fun. Even if it’s for a short while.

12. It’s Italy !! 🤣

13. Hey I play 🎹 I guess that means I can’t also have anxiety? Good to know.
