This is a really AWFUL policy. I recently started a new job that has this same policy and I am struggling whether to stay. Everything else is great. However, in 27 years of working, I've never had to worry about sick time.
Now, I am afraid to take ETO time as vacation because what happens if I get sick? I had a coworker come in with walking pneumonia because he was running short on ETO.
NOT having separated sick time is bad because you can't plan when to take vacation time because of the unknown, and you're going to show up to the office and spread your viruses because you can't take a day to rest and recover.
- blisterpeanuts 10y agoMaybe just do what we did: reserve ten days out of your 30 for sickness? The point of the policy is that you're responsible for budgeting your own time. If you need less sick leave, take less sick leave. If you need more, take more. If you're a sickly type, you might want to buy a disability policy of some sort that supports you for weeks or months.
