Yeah WTF, what if you get sick again? Do you tell the flu to sit it out or prepetuate the epidemic?

I was always told to never call in sick. If you’re sick, you go to work and only if the manager says to go home should you leave work.

Shit that doesn’t even save you at some places. I was working and started feeling shitty ended up having a 103Β° fever, and was sent home. It still counted as an absence against me during my review.

So compare that with my experience of a few years ago when one of my relatives had an accident, and I was the one who could care for them for a few weeks.

Their conversation with their boss:
- Hey boss, I had an accident, I’ll be out of work for a bit.
- Oh, what happened?
- Look, I would rather not talk about it.
- When are you coming back?
- It will most likely be a month.
- Okay, see you in a month then.

My conversation:
- Hey HR person, I need two weeks of care leave to care for a relative.
- Okay, see you in two weeks!

And that was all that’s legally required of us, and legally permitted to the employers. We were both fully paid for the leave, as both employers were insured for exactly this. And the sky hasn’t fallen, and the GDP is up, and we still live in a prosperous first world country.

Unfortunately you’re likely taking unpaid time off until short term disability kicks in (usually 6 weeks)
