Is slightly less than three months on a new job too soon to take a sick day?
Hey, if you're sick, you're sick. And if you're not sick - well, they don't have to know that....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Did you start accruing sick time as soon as you started or was there a waiting period?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Are you sick?
I'm at the almost tail end of a migraine that just won't go all the way away.

It starts accruing right away, but there is a line in the policy about "employees should try not to take sick days for x months". I just can't remember if x is 2,3, or 6.
Feh.

If you're sick, take the sick day, Perkins.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Er, bullshit. Not that it isn't in the policy, but if you're sick, stay home.
t /do as I say, not as I do

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Er, bullshit. Not that it isn't in the policy, but if you're sick, stay home.
Um, yeah. Vacation days, okay, but then why not just make those kick in at six months or whatever if it's something you're that worried about. Sick days? Whatev. What are you, six? Your own judgment as to what's best can't be relied upon? If they think their employees are just chomping at the bit to start using their sick time to goof off, they've got bigger problems. If they don't, then why would they treat genuinely sick people like that and make them struggle in to infect everyone else?
Whoa. Rantypants this morning, apparently.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm with them -- if you're sick (and you are) take the sick day.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
or, as an alternative, go in and throw up on either your boss or the head of HR.
