I work in sales, the first two months of the year is a busy season for us, so we have certain rules in place:
1. Management will deny any pto
2. Monthly incentives where if you work overtime, you’ll get OT and they raffle off bonuses at random
Most of us have our heads down hustling to make extra money. March rolls around, and for the first week in a row, a “disproportionate” number of salespeople take a sick day 7/50 people. Upper management gets a lot of pressure from executives after learning the employees calling in sick, which meant fewer people could cover the phones.
New rule is if you take a sick day, you have to make it up within 30 days, fantastic.
