My boss believes that the only acceptable reason for missing work is death. No sick leave, epidemics or family circumstances can move him or change his mind.
It's very difficult, especially when someone gets sick and comes in with a fever. And then everyone in the office and their families end up getting sick.
I've already had the flu twice and worked through it and feel that it's not good for my health.
Maybe I should look for another company, since the prospects here aren't great anyway?

  • The only advice I can give you is to be looking for a job . Get a place where you are proud of

  • What company is this? Leave that place they dont care about you for sure

  • PS> pls keep in mind that while his denials are against the law, evidently, he doesn't care. He is wrong; you are right! I'm praying for you!

  • Ethan:
    I'll cut to the chase; find another job that is a better fit for you! You are not going to change this person's mind about sick leave. It... doesn't matter that you have sick leave available. What matters is that he will continue to pressure employees about using their sick leave.

    Obviously, this boss of yours is not readily approachable and will meet your request with an enthusiastic "no!" Deal with it as best that you can and in the interim, seek your livelihood elsewhere.

    You sound like an intelligent and conscientious employee. You deserve better. All your co-workers deserve better.

    I know it isn't easy finding another gig that fits your skill set in this current job market but put it in prayer! He is listening and is well aware of what is happening in your life!

    Sincerely,
    Lou ♫

  • Work and home life balance includes mental and wellness health. You can not do your best and be your best if you are not your best mentally and... physically. Time to find a new place to call work. They do not value your worth. more

  • Here is exactly what all of you should do get together and plan a call off date. Everyone agrees to that one date for all of them reason that is... necessary. Then and only then will he understand how valuable you guys are to him. Everyone changing jobs one at a time is not going to effect him at all. He just going hire somebody to replace and do the exact same thing to them and repeat the process.  more

  • Start your own business.

  • That seems illegal. Have you gone to HR about this? It might be best to start looking for another company. This is toxic.
