      Yeah that’s a change that kinda sucks. If I’m sick just don’t pay me for that day. Don’t take it outta my vacation funds lol

            I think they’re saying that those conditions are still poor and you (as in everyone) should fight for more

              Yeah that makes more sense.

              Yeah the data all shows and has shown for a long time that people do better work and have better morale when companies treat them better. Unfortunately it costs the companies a little money so GET BACK TO WORK SLAVE EMPLOYEE I DONT CARE IF YOU GET EVERYONE AT WORK SICK.

              I will never understand why bosses want me to come into work and potentially take out EVEN more of your staff with illness lol. Like yeah your short handed if I’m gone. You’re gonna be even more short handed when all three of your customer service staff get sick Becky.

      I used to work at a company that did this. White collar, but we would often work stat days, and we were salary. So our PTO was x days vacation time, y days stat days, and z days sick days. Vacation time was the legally mandated or higher, stat days were the legally mandated, and then sick days were on top of that (no legally mandated paid sick days where I live). If you got sick a lot (and actually didn’t work anyway) you had less vacation time. If you didn’t get sick a lot, you had more vacation time. If you worked some stat days, you had even more vacation time. It worked for everybody and meant there was no reason to worry if people were actually sick when they took a sick day - it was just unplanned PTO.

      If you get additional PTO to allow for sick days, I’m not sure why you’re complaining. That’s a perspective issue. If you don’t, I definitely get it.

        i dont get any additional PTO for sick days, so its basically get lucky enough to not get sick or never take a day off
