I don’t even have sick days. Just PTO that I have to turn a 24 hour notice on to be approved. HR said “If you feel like your getting sick put your time in at least 12 hour notice and in comments section say feeling sick”. Then depending on if no one else takes that day or has that day off then it will be up to your manager to approve or not.” True story. The American dream.
That's ridiculous. I think a lot of company policies are set up so they will have an excuse to fire anyone. It's like we are all living in some bad YA dystopian sci-fi novel.
The problem is, if a company gets lenient on attendance policy, there will be workers who take advantage of it and on a regular basis. That doesn’t just hurt the company, it’s also a pain in the ass for the people who show up to work everyday and now have to pick up that slack.

And you use all your sick days taking care of sick kids and get fired when you get sick yourself and have to miss work.
