[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read through these responses just thoroughly disgusted with most of them. Just had to say that. Only in America would people be ridiculing someone for taking sick leave for being sick. This woman even worked while she had covid! And you all are saying that when she is sick, take DayQuil and get your butt in gear.

Is this really how you guys want to be living your lives?[/quote]

Yes, adults go to work with colds and minor illnesses. Welcome to being a responsible grownup.[/quote]

And OP says she hasn't missed much work from her illnesses.  But imagine feeling too sick to really get any work done and really needing a day of rest- or your kid is home vomiting and you need to take care of him- and the response is "buck up get get to work!".  Does that really make you happy, to live your life that way?  If not- if you'd actually like to use sick time yourself when you're feeling too ill to work- why the ridicule and anger at people actually using their sick time that I'm seeing on this thread? It's really gross.

It's one thing to have no sick time and be living paycheck to paycheck, because our country is abysmal, and to have to live with that awful fact.  But if you have sick time and./or are getting your work done remotely, to be chided by your boss for having the audacity to be sick and to have it be mentioned that you're sick... like, why?  People get sick! [/quote]

NP here and I totally agree. Also, I don't have kids but I understand that people's kids get sick occasionally and they have to call out or work from home periodically. We aren't robots. [/quote]
