Comment on Calling in healthy
FeeshyFish@lemmy.world 1 week agoWhen I was hired on for my current job my boss explained that they don’t require any proof to use our “medical time.” While vacation time should be put in with a bit of notice, medical time was ours to use whenever. Literally said, if you wake up after a stressful few days and just want to enjoy some fresh air, just put it on the shared calendar that you’re using some medical time. It can be as little as 1hr, it doesn’t matter.
(Small company in the US btw)

Yeah we called them personal days, s as long as nothing was due that day it was ok to use them for any reason.

Lol as long as nothing was due that day.
Company still comes first, technically!

I was working in web development and marketing back then, while you’re kinda right, and there were always “fires” (which were bullshit, because we mostly did clothing brand websites and tv show ads, not really important in the bigger scheme).
We did manage to keep them from launching sites or features on Fridays. So we had chances to take them more (but still not enough).

If you were happy that’s the important thing, but yes, companies still have a long (ext x 1000) way to go across the board generally.
