Lol I end up using my PTO as sick time except the now our policy only allows 4 sick days and we lost our point system and instead get fired after the 3rd occurrence. If I weren’t WFH I’d have to find another job because I can’t make it out the door most days. Also it still eats up my PTO to have an absence. I haven’t had an absence in almost 2 years and I’ve had to work with migraines and running to the bathroom. Next month I have scheduled most of it off but I’ll be recovering from work and sleeping lol. I don’t need this job as we don’t have kids so we’ve saved up plenty to live off of but the lack of health insurance would be problematic, though not sure that paying 400 a month for it right now isn’t actually worse for what I get. Good thing I’ve got dual citizenship and can escape to Europe anytime I want lol! Just not back to Italy… our Healthcare system may be free but the quality is atrocious. But if the US pulls its head out of its ass and decides to actually care to improve itself I’m all for it. As it is right now it’s just creating tired insane violent idiots.
