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 youโ€™re sick, you go to work and only if the manager says to go home should you leave work.

Shit that doesnโ€™t even save you at some places. I was working and started feeling shitty ended up having a 103ยฐ 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, Iโ€™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 thatโ€™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 hasnโ€™t fallen, and the GDP is up, and we still live in a prosperous first world country.

Unfortunately youโ€™re likely taking unpaid time off until short term disability kicks in (usually 6 weeks)
