I watch my father work his hole life never called in sick, even when us kids were born he went to work. He was a telephone lineman, I spent many hours riding along/waiting for him to get done with work. Many of the people he worked with called in sick all the time. Dad is old school maybe not as old as many on this site.. But Vietnam Era Vet. Later in life when he saw the company he gave his life to get sold and push him out, he told me to use sick leave if you have it, because it in the end you will not get anything for it. I started my career path as a Power Lineman never called in sick, later was offered a position which I remain presently as a Proud Union Representative!! It seems now days sick leave is in trouble because people don't use it for being sick.. So the company capitalizes on this by changing to PTO (paid time off) sick leave,vacation, funeral leave... And so on...what a joke... I also grew up farming even though I didn't grow up on one being sick was not a option... I guess in the end. I don't know what is the right answer? New workers are very fragile...yes.. But most companies could careless... Troubling...
