The concept of burning vacation / sick time for a doctor’s appointment is weird to me (canada). I just say “hey boss, doc appointment this day” and he says “okay”.
Look, I get that you live in a civilized country, but stop gloating.
Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done?

I feel like it depends on the company here, but I don’t think I’d stay long if they made me use my time off for that.

Same thing here in Europe. You can then get a special permit from the doctor to show your employer that you were actually at a medical appointment and not smoking weed

This feels personal… I’ll have you know I can smoke weed AND go to the doctor.

In United States of Shit, you can get a doctor’s note to show employers. Most times I’ll make an appointment and get the date on a doctors card and show my manager. All unpaid of course

Ey! My GP’s notes don’t mention I wasn’t smoking weed. I’ll have to ask them to include it next time.
