My SO gets a minor medical issue that she might have to go into the ER. My benefits didn't start yet. Ask again for remote work in case I have to drive her in to avoid ambulance costs. Nope, take unpaid sick day. Stayed home, missing out on 9hrs of work for a total of $350.00 for the day. SO in pain and up all night even tried to beg me to go to work before passing out.

Then after all that, an intern that only does part time work (15-20hrs a week) gets to work from home for being sick. Not mad at the intern it's not there fault. Management is being inconsistent and confusing.

Like WTF, what's the god damn policy.

Rant over, still mad and confused
