Not a horrible boss but I don’t get any sick days.

I recently left my job at Verizon for a number of reasons but this was the last straw for me. I had been working there for about 6 months and at that point most of the staff had quit and it was me and my district manager who came down about 3 days a week. I had been picking up the slack for a lot going on and was still very micro managed while he was there.

The new hire never showed up so I went home for that day and my boss said I could take 2 days if needed which I didn't do. I came in the next day and saw my boss the 3rd day of that week where he asked when I would make up my sick day hours which I said why do I need to make them up. I've never worked somewhere that I didn't get a sick day or any type of paid day off. Given I was only there for 6 months I at least assumed I'd have 1 day racked up to take off if needed. My boss wasn't a total dick but screw that place.
