I work for a company that has a stellar reputation looking from the outside but stinks as far as management goes if you actually see what goes on.
I was told this past week (2nd week of December) that my eight (8) sicks days had shown up in HR as "excessive" and if I'm out sick one more time I have to have a doctor's note. I was very angry because there is no sick day policy where I work except that the days shouldn't be "excessive". These days were not balanced against the 4 holidays I worked, the overtime I put in, the reputation I have for excellent quality work, and the fact I haven't even taken all my vacation days this year.
Do other companies have such arbitrary policies where the HR department decides in December what "excessive" is? There was never any written notice of this new policy. I plan on leaving soon because I can't stand the management and lack of communication. |

We only get six paid sick days. Anymore than that and we have to take them unpaid or use up our vacation time.
When one of the employees had to be admitted in the hospital last summer, the boss kept track of how many days he was out on the big calendar on our bulletin board. Needless to say, I have no respect for my boss.
