Antiwork

I’m in HR and I’m pro antiwork!

Started a new role a year ago was told they have great benefits. Sick time, birthday off, get an extra holiday off, etc. Around September I was told I have 2 weeks of PTO and to take that time before it was the end of the year. I connected with my boss & he said to take the time off to enjoy myself. He insisted I do. So, I planned a vacation and took PTO. Recently, I had to call out due to being sick. Boss was totally fine, and I figured I had sick time— I get 1 hour for every 30 worked and I had never called off unexpectedly. I got my paycheck and noticed I wasn’t paid out for sick time. I asked what that was about and was told “when you took your vacation, it was actually counted as sick time. You have nothing left.” Excuse…


Started a new role a year ago was told they have great benefits. Sick time, birthday off, get an extra holiday off, etc.

Around September I was told I have 2 weeks of PTO and to take that time before it was the end of the year.

I connected with my boss & he said to take the time off to enjoy myself. He insisted I do. So, I planned a vacation and took PTO.

Recently, I had to call out due to being sick. Boss was totally fine, and I figured I had sick time— I get 1 hour for every 30 worked and I had never called off unexpectedly.

I got my paycheck and noticed I wasn’t paid out for sick time. I asked what that was about and was told “when you took your vacation, it was actually counted as sick time. You have nothing left.”

Excuse me?! I was under the assumption I got 1 hour sick time for every 30 worked.

Found out the benefit of taking off for your birthday and the extra holiday is sick time too!!

This is not what I was explained during onboarding.

Now, I’m pissed and silently quitting. I’m here to collect a paycheck. Nothing more. Don’t care if I hit my goals. Don’t care if you need me to pick up an extra task. I’m in at 8am and out at 5pm. Screw it.
