[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve started to take my sick days that I’ve been collecting and not using for years. Guess what happened? I get grief from admin (I’m a teacher), parents, and sometimes other teachers. I’m taking a sick day today to go to a doctor’s appointment and my sub has all of my plans. I’ve already gotten two phone calls from school and a few texts from admin about things that were due last week that I turned in. It’s like they can’t stand that I’m actually taking a day for myself. Same thing happens when colleagues take off. If I don’t use these days, I’ll only be reimbursed for 1/4 of them in retirement but God forbid if you do use them. So messed up. [/quote] I have a close friend in Sweden who receives grief for taking her sick days for kid illnesses. She won’t lose her job but they are difficult with her and make it clear it’s a problem. I can’t imagine there are many places where calling in sick to work is truly NBD. [/quote]
