I don't get paid for my sick days, I only have to provide a doctor's note if I call out consecutively and I'm under the limit (called out Friday).
I like my manager and my team but upper management outside our department is putting out any fires except for ours. I'm underpaid as a developer and I can't do tier 1 support another day let alone another year. I have to put in my 2 weeks to get my vacation pay or I'd walk.
