Anyways, they’re asking me to come in on Monday in order to turn in my vehicle and equipment that they lended me. I have 20 hours of sick time that’s paid that I never used. I never called in sick once and now that I’m being laid off I am thinking of calling in sick for Monday and Tuesday in order to use that sick time and show up on Wednesday to turn in my car and equipment. Is this something that I should do or not do?
