The subject of "sick" days came up on another thread recently. At my current employer we call them "personal" days. I get six per year.
Anyhow, I'll be on my second one tonight, as I seem to have contracted a nasty cold/cough
. I never use them all up, as a matter of fact I had two left to "burn" last December, due to a "use or lose" policy.
Point is, I know there are those who abuse their "sick days", which ticks me off because they sure come in handy when you legitimately need them. But so many people just assume you are slacking off when you use one. Generally, people who use them up quickly, end up having further attendence issues later in the year.
