    My former boss always said, if you’re sick, take a day more off. Would be a problem if half the company got sick.

    It’s in europe tho. Has it swapt over finally?

      Hahaha you had us U.S kids in the first half, not gonna lie. :D

      The newer trend with fancier jobs here is “unlimited paid time off”…Which sounds so amazing!

      How it actually shakes out is there’s no actual number of how much you can take, you’re just guilted and looked at suspiciously and passed over for promotions by using any amount whatsoever.

      I’m sure someone can correct me though because I’ve never had that. My last job gave me a rate of “A week’s shift’s worth of PTO per year.”…I worked 19 hours a week.

      (Also PTO isn’t “sick” days, it’s paid time off…sick and “I’m just not putiup with it today” used up the same resource.)
