New Policy at my punishes employees for calling out sick 3 times during a 6 month period.

I work in a warehouse for a smaller building material chain store. All in all, I enjoy my job. Decent pay, good benefits, and overall I like coming to work. However… My work just emailed this to everyone. From what I'm reading, if I called out 3 times in a 180 day period I won't get my Christmas bonus, or my safety bonus. Safety bonus is $200 and our Christmas bonus is (usually) 2 weeks pay. This company is typically big one making sure we get these bonuses. Which is why reading this upcoming policy seems so out of place for this company. I feel like I shouldn't call out when I'm sick, or even bother taking my lunch breaks. What if I'm a minute late from coming back? What if I get hurt outside of work and can't make it in that day? What if my car breaks down…

Just sucks that this is being implemented and everyone I've talked to about it agress this is a stupid set of rules.
