So on the 23rd I called in sick, because I had a bad headache that spanned 4 days, and was getting more and more debilitating. After a trip to the dentist it turns out one of my wisdom teeth was getting infected and it was starting to travel upward, hence causing the headaches.
Now, my (now ex) employer had changed the attendance policy to where you can only accumulate a max of 4 hits in a 12-month period before you are terminated entirely. They only give you a max of a week of PTO for an entire year.
So I come into work today, clock in and work for 2 hours. Then, the supervisor comes up to me and pulls me into HR to do the ‘paperwork’.
It’s so stupid how you get such limited time off and away from work. It’s unfortunate that my last hit had to be spent on a medical ‘emergency’, but I don’t really care. I hated it there, and wanted to be away. IMO, There shouldn’t be a limit on how many days you call off. Have a select amount of days where you’re paid for them, and anything else for that year is unpaid.
Bottom line, you should be able to get more time off, especially since I made it clear of my condition. Gladly I don’t care enough. It sucked there anyway
