I’ve got the flu (this isn’t a cold, and tested negative for covid). I’m going to feel like crud for a week. If I tried staying home sick for that I’d obviously be canned, despite having more than twice that amount of PTO. It’s not like I can afford going anywhere on my PTO anyway. Staying home when sick would be the very best use for my PTO, but that’s just not an option. This feels like the pizza party of sick policies. It’s also been the same overall policy for every job I’ve ever worked.
