[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. For your information, I did not take FMLA. I used my sick leave and annual leave as I'm a government employee. And can you believe that even though I had a detailee covering me, my boss still contacted me on maternity leave? And I'm not a super important person. I'm making $105K as a GS-13, which in my opinion does not constitute around the clock service. This is not "the world is going to end" work. Yes, I consider my job a career. I'm a good employee. [b]But you know what? I was sick for three days because I felt like I could not relax or rest while I was actually sick.[/b] I'm not a person who takes leave, except for the birth of my child and a major surgery I had three years ago for a life threatening illness. I can't believe how many people feel the need to be plugged in and working 24/7. I don't think that is very healthy. [/quote]

Ok I was with you till here but this makes you sound like a whiny princess. It was ok to relax when sick as a kid. You're an adult now. You still have to take care of your responsibilities even if you're sick and want to sleep the day away.[/quote]

how rigid of you. Don't you think it depends on how sick she is? Would yo usay this to someone with cancer? No, so you acknowledge that illnesses vary.[/quote]

:roll: She doesn't have cancer. She said up front it was a bad cold didn't she? Anyway, she's back to work and feeling fine. So, not cancer.[/quote]
