Six months to earn 5 days of sick leave. Why is sick leave a privilege? You're either sick or you're not.
If I get the flu 3 months in, do I just take my two days off then come in and infect the office?

- lentil 11y agoPerhaps I've just been lucky, but I've been working in the US for the last 15 years, and the policy at all 4 of the companies I've worked for has been: "if you're sick, don't come in". None of the companies I've worked for has set a limit on the number of days you could be sick for, nor encouraged anyone who didn't feel healthy to come in to work. I appreciate that some companies may do that, but I've never really understood how that works, given that illness is (mostly) not something you can control.
