I have sick time but can only use it for my own personal illness. What I resent is having to use a vacation day for a colonoscopy when I have 6 months of sick time stored up

My best sick story was when i was leaving the IRS, union contract stipulated that unless you were out for more than 3 consecutive days no doctors release could be required, it also stipulated that Friday and Monday were nonconsecutive days. I had 30 days of sick leave to use in a 90 day period, since I didn't get paid for any unused sick leave, I managed to use it all, I worked Wednesdays.

One of the reasons I don't work " full x " anymore or as staff for anyone ! I work my own contracts and I refuse to be a part of this joke . I hear u . I remember those days , I did it for 16 yrs , never again !

I stay home when i'm sick because I can barely function, but I get excited because then i can lay on the couch and watch tv all day.

I have a bitchen job, where I work for a week or two and then I'm off for a couple of months. So there really are no sick days, but lots of fun time.

You’re supposed to save them for mental health days!
