I used to work a crappy job making crappy pay but my probation period was 90 days. I got a new job and their probation period is 6 months. Their pay is much higher though. I wouldn’t have known this if I didn’t ask further questions at the interview.
I can’t take PTO. I can use sick time but they encourage against it to not use it often. VTO is possible but it looks bad. What am I suppose to do? Work and work through 6 months with no break except the weekends. Some health concerns started popping up that requires doctor appointments. I need to take time off. I didn’t plan for these health concerns. I wish their probation period was shorter.
I like my job and all but I can’t be working and working without a break. I want to be able to take at least 1 day off for my mental health. I have to look forward to freaking holidays because we don’t work. I already know I have to push for sick time for my doctor appointments.
