    I get 11 PTO days this year. That includes sick days and vacation days. I love my job and company, but the time off sucks. I can go over that if I need to take care of myself, but it still sucks

      Ouch. I give my nanny more time off than that. You may love your job and company but just remember that they do not care about you or your coworkers.

        I mean, they pay for our health insurance, give hefty bonuses each quarter, and seem to genuinely care. The company is only 13 people, though, so we can’t really handle being down people all the time. Like I get their reasoning, and I can take more time off than that, but it’ll just be unpaid and people may get a lil pissed.

          Meanwhile, here in Denmark any manager I’ve ever had insists that I take sick day when I’m sick. Not for my sake, for the company.

          And i have virtually unlimited sick days, I don’t loose any money or vacation days by taking sick leave.

          Also, if the place is understaffed because just one person is on sick leave, that’s a management decision. Why would anyone who cares about you, be pissed at you for acting sick while being sick…

            I mean they don’t get actually pissed, it just inconveniences others but they understand that people get sick. I try to just work from home if I can if I’m sick. We plan on hiring more people when we move to our bigger office in the spring, so hopefully we won’t be short staffed again.
