- Are there companies that actually give people with kids more sick days than people without? - Callisto Mar 27, 08:56 5
  - No, but it's harder (in my experience) to write peole up and go through disciplinary steps for absencese when people play the kids card. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 27, 08:58 1
    - meh, I'm not a big fan of using disciplinary action for using sick time. - Callisto Mar 27, 09:06
  - I have never heard of that either... -- nm - amoxy Mar 27, 08:58 1
    - I do know people who ended up taking unpaid days when they went over because of family sick time. -- nm - loosilu Mar 27, 08:59

- but they do have the same number. -- nm - loosilu Mar 27, 08:53 13
  - but in non-PTO situations, people with kids have more *acceptable* reasons to miss work than do I. -- nm - five tuesdays left love mandy lane Mar 27, 08:55 12
    - Someone should fix this misguided management culture. -- nm - Max Mar 27, 09:00
    - The reverse being, in a single PTO system, you could more confidently burn through days than someone with 3 kids, who might have a snow day or illness - TFox Mar 27, 08:57 3
      - I picked my carefree lifestyle for a reason, man. you think I don't know this? - five tuesdays left love mandy lane Mar 27, 08:59

        My company gives funeral leave as a separate thing. -- nm - loosilu Mar 27, 09:00

      - precisely. I should invent a boyfriend so I can take off when he's sick. that would solve the issue. - five tuesdays left love mandy lane Mar 27, 08:58 2

    - I guess, but I just can't get worked up over it since I have the same amount of time allowed. -- nm - loosilu Mar 27, 08:56 2
      - I can't either. Sure, they have more reasons to call in, theoretically. - Callisto Mar 27, 09:03 1
        
        which is exactly my point. -- nm - znufrii Mar 27, 09:04
- maybe he needs a drink to understand us. -- nm - five tuesdays left love mandy lane Mar 27, 08:53
how am I begrudging them? -- nm - five tuesdays left love mandy lane Mar 27, 08:51 1
- that's what the entire argument was about, right? - znufrii Mar 27, 08:53
