What was the usual allotment of sick days in the before times when regular wfh wasn't common? What's the current usual allotment for jobs that can't be done remotely?
- scarface_74 2y agoEvery company I worked for had 10 sick days. I’m on my 10th job I can’t remember ever coming close to using those. But I can’t imagine any company I have worked for being a stickler for my going over slightly. But besides Amazon and General Electric, I’ve always worked for small companies Funny enough, the company I work for now only gives us 9 sick days. But we have “unlimited” PTO. It’s weird that they do that they do that
- bryanrasmussen 2y agono idea as this is discussion of U.S, but there is also consideration of industry standards. From an IT perspective this is a big warning sign, don't work for this company! Of course maybe they pay double what others do in which case it would be worth it. But probably not.
