No, it's the opposite. "We trust you to use your paid time off as you deem fit."
Traditionally, companies budget sick time for their employees, yet insist that you bring in a doctor's note to "prove" you were sick. You consider that a trusting relationship?
- tedmiston 10y agoThat sounds awful. I have never had an employer ask me for a doctor's note (across industry, private research, and working for a university).
- blisterpeanuts 10y agoGoogle it; it's not at all uncommon. Perhaps it's less common however in a tech/research profession such as yours, where it's probably considered too much of an insult to intelligence. I mean, it insults anyone's intelligence, but people with fewer options just have to put up with it.
- tedmiston 10y agoI can't agree with you more. It's surprising to learn anyone working in tech has to do this.
