A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

I don't get paid sick time I can use my PTO. Would I rather be sick and miserable at work(in which my day already sucks)and be paid and using my rest and relaxation time for something I want or do I use one of my 10 PTO days and cancel my vacation I may have already booked since I only have 10 days off a year 2-3 days I have to use for federal holidays since I don't get paid off since I am contracted with the bank but my company doesn't pay me for the holiday.

I get this, but it's horrible incentives. The company will lose money from other employees getting sick, and you're sure as hell not as productive when sick even if you go to work. I don't understand why the US work culture has developed in such a way that's bad for everyone.
