[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leave abuse means a suspicious pattern of calling in sick on certain days (usually Monday or Friday) or asking for time off for inconsequential matters. In other words, taking leave you do not need.[/quote]

This is absurd, asking leave for inconsequential matters? Leave us yours to take for whatever reason you want. And, who would judge whether a request is consequential enough?[/quote]

Nosy supervisors judge. An old supervisor told me that my then boyfriend, now husband's 30th birthday was not reason enough to take a vacation day. Not sick leave, but a vacation day. This was after my leave was approved, but he got stuck out of the country for visa issues and notified an event organizer that I'd do a speaking engagement for him (without asking me first) that was in the evening on the west coast! I'd already taken the Friday off to prep for the party and the only way I'd make it back to DC on time was if they bought a $600 plane ticket. Not my problem.[/quote]
