had a hard conversation with my boss today before they sent me home to continue working from there.

we don& #39;t get sick time at my job; we accrue 5.85 hrs (max) of PTO every 2 weeks (which totals 19 days/year) & if you need to call out sick, you HAVE to use the PTO you& #39;ve accrued. if you don& #39;t have PTO, well, you either have to take the time off unpaid or go to work sick

i& #39;ve gotten sick so much this year that i have 0 PTO saved up. i was out for covid-related reasons (i& #39;m fine) & my manager did me a favor & let me go negative so i wouldn& #39;t have to worry about not being paid during this crisis. i currently have about -24 hours of PTO.

this thread is going somewhere i promise just got busy w something
