      She wouldn’t have to have used sick days if this God damn country had basic worker rights and gave people vacation time. Oh and a side note, many companies will 100% fire you if you use your vacation days. Fuck the American work environment

        No argument about that one, the way the states treats workers is shocking.

        As someone who works in an “at will” state, I agree. This absolutely happens.

        Right… firing someone for calling in sick so she can go to a concert when her job is teaching children- and they’re the bad guys.

        There’s vacation days for that shit. She’s irresponsible and shouldn’t be a teacher.

          Teachers don’t have vacation days. They get 10 sick days per year. They get 3 personal days. It’s very possible the only leave she had were sick days.

            Then don’t be a teacher. She knew the situation.

          You know all about her from this rage bait story? Enough to end her career? You’re a fraud.

      Nah, fuck that. If she had sick days they are hers to decide how to use em.

        Uhh, no. Sick days are for when you’re sick. Annual leave is for when you do stuff like this.

        Christ, this platform beggars belief sometimes.

          Are they separate for her? Does unused sick time get paid out like leave time if unused? Or do they have unlimited sick time?

            I my experience with teaching in the U.S. sick days do get paid out at retirement. Teachers typically get 10 sick days a year and 3 personal days. The sick days stack but personal days turn to sick days after you have 5 banked.

          Teachers in the US generally don’t have “annual leave”.

          Sick days are part of your compensation package. They are yours to do whatever the fuck you want with. There’s a reason most companies don’t call them sick days anymore.

            That is factually incorrect.

              Can you bring some of these facts?

              I know nothing about US workers law, only that they get like 12 days off per year, and working days are like 10+ hrs

                The fact they’re called sick days, and not leave days, should be a hint.

                  Ah - so so there’s no rules or laws that apply, it’s all based on what it’s called. I never understood how US functions but I’m getting a better feel now. Thank you

                    This would probably work if you were smart enough to stay home.
