Because they are? A lot of places don’t offer sick leave anymore. Sick days, bereavement days, vacation days, all come from the source. It’s really only Millenials and older who get sick days.
Kind of a nothingburger comment but until i saw your comment i didn’t even realise that was possible. The fact this is acceptable, or even legal in the united states is absurd
Yeah fortunately I don’t work there anymore and work someplace that respects it’s workers. Took a lot of time, luck, trial and error to get where I am now.
Damn. I was wondering why nobody mentioned it, but it is so normal to you (plural), that you don’t bother.
That’s crazy. For me it’s an absolute affront to even suggest I should give up vacation days for being sick. In my country Germany (and probably all of Europe, maybe also Asia) you get a slip from your doctor and you stay home till you’re better.
Paid. And nobody touches your vacation days. I’m just speechless.

I assume you’re talking about the US ?
Some places. It’s different from state to state.

Millennial here. Every office job I have worked has either had unlimited sick time or unlimited vacation. (Hourly contracting roles aside.)

A doctor’s note very well could be how it works in the US, none of us know because we’d be bankrupted by going to a doctor.
Same in latinamerica. The US dosen’t even have the labor standards that third world countries have
I remember my company did this. We started with one week vacation, one week sick and they just made it two weeks pto one day
I don’t work for that company anymore, now I work in a great workplace. But yeah, it happens.
