Gen Z is actually taking sick days, unlike their older coworkers. It’s redefining the workplace

The days of being "scared to death" to call in sick are over.

How does it work in the US? Do you have a limited amount of sick days? It sounds like it in every article I read about it... Or is this dependent on the employer?
Also dependent on the state. Some states mandate minimum sick leave, others don't. Then there's the issue of paid vs unpaid: if you're living paycheck to paycheck it doesn't matter if you have all the unpaid sick leave in the world, you're not going to use it because you literally can't afford to.
You don't get any federally?! Damn, I don't want to complain too much as a Canadian but you guys are really bringing us down.
Many of us get none at all. I haven’t had a sick day for the past five years.
It’s not something to be proud of. It’s exploitation.
I'm really sorry. Please try and share this idea with others. Surely this is something the voting public could get behind if they knew how bad they really had it.
Edit: I understand the nature of your political structure makes this difficult.
At least half the voting public will vote for whoever their news station of choice tells them to vote for. And all of those news stations are owned by billionaires.

I'm generally not surprised by this kind of thing anymore but I still wonder: how??
The elites still got the slaver mind set and managerial culture. It is root in some UK degenrate "aristorcrat" but the crux of it is: 1) these bitches should be making daddy some mother fucking money 27/4; and 2) idle peasant will figure the "situation" and "riot" so got to keep this bitch "busy"
Political system supports them
27 hours 4 days a week? What a workload.
That's actually discount... And we both know elites would never do that for a wagie
I see, thank you.
Totally employer dependent. Some places give you sick days and want you to use them if needed, some give you them and will absolutely throw you out if you use them, some don't give you any, some people want you to use your PTO for sick time.
That definitely sounds like something the Best Country In The World (tm) should have laws on.
Absolutely...
Ben Franklin said, "If you sacrifice liberty for security, you deserve neither," or something like that, and America heard, "Any kind of security for any reason is communism!"
Horrible...
My employer gives unlimited sick time but if you use too much you might have to talk to hr about taking a leave of absence if its something long term. If I am not feeling good I "call in" (i.e. send an email :•| ). We also have PTO but being salaried I get paid the same for sick days anyways. If i need a mental health day I just call in and use PTO only for vacation days like they should be used
All about the employer.
It varies greatly. There's also the "lump sum payout" people consider at some jobs.
Some places don't cap how much sick leave you can carry over year to year, and then when you leave they pay it at a reduced rate. So especially coming up on retirement, some people dont take it to increase that payout. Others do the opposite and use all they can at the end because then it's full pay.
Like most things in America it's overly complicated and everyone's job handles it differently
My daddy doesn't beat me. Feels good, man.
dependent by employer
Thanks for the info!
