When any of were sick or needed a day off how easy(or difficult) was it to request time and have it approved at your job?
For example: I work at Amazon and when I work I accrue UPT and vacation time. PTO is capped at 46 hours but can be used at any time, including peak “blackout” periods. If I feel like leaving early, I and many others just leave and the system automatically deducts upt. They say to give an hour notice but that's only if you're feeling nice to your managers. Vacation has to be put in 24 hours in advance and approved by a manager, which can be a hurdle for some say if you were sick and out of other time. A doctors note will excuse a day without pay.
But yeah just curious as to other's situations
