Bruh, it's wild. Getting emails like " My Mom sneezed last night, and with your continue support and donation, we can ensure she keeps her health insurance."
Like Chief, I ain't got no more.

Speaking of sick leave, do you guys generally have a cap on paid sick leave?

I technically have 72 hours of sick leave per year. Practically speaking that works out to 18 half days. Things like doctor’s appointments tend not to count.
That said, I’ve never had a manager who really tracked it or pushed back on time sheet approvals, and when I’ve been an approver, I never kept track of anything.
My two jobs prior to that had no specific allocation, but in both I’d say people tended to 5 to 10 per year. Before that were hourly jobs where there was no paid time off, but that was an internship and a high school job at Subway.
I believe the research shows that people use fewer days when you don’t give them an allocation. I know that’s certainly true in my case. I view unused sick days as a waste and tend to stay home more for colds or muscle pulls I would have worked with before.

At my employer we don't really distinguish between sick leave and sick days. Both are uncapped and paid in full as far as I know but it's not legally required.
Legally you're only ordered to pay "sick pay" (a reduced amount of your full wage) the first 30 days of sick leave, but in practice I don't know anyone whose employer actually capped it at 30.
It's not uncommon for older workers to take sick leave for depression etc, which tends to span longer than the 30 days. You can also get the government to step in past the 30 day mark if your employer doesn't cover it beyond that.
I haven't been on sick leave (which is more than 7 days straight in our system) but I've had to call in about 600 hours of sick days just this year due to frequent epilepsy attacks, all paid in full.

My firm technically gives unlimited PTO. It seems great in theory but it’s sort of BS just so the firm doesn’t have to pay out your accrued PTO if you leave or are fired. So yea we pool it all like you. If I take 20-25 days no one will care. If you take more and don’t meet your expected billable your code then you will be sent emails and asked questions.

yup. I'm down to about a day of sick leave left for this year. I had 3 a few days but had to call in for 2 days due to me having an accident 2 days ago.

good for you. at my company and depending on the worksite, some site managers can be anal with regards to sick leave. although some of the older employees learned that you can't be subject to such scrutiny as it violates your right to privacy. you have the right to refuse scrutiny as you don't have to disclose your sick/medical info. it's funny because site leaders and managers are not even questioned when they leave the work site even if the purpose is unknown and would typically logged it as official business even if we knew that it was for personal matters. while we have to file some paperworks before leaving the site while on duty.

For someone with a chronic condition like epilepsy who had the potential of missing 15 weeks over the year, we’d work out a more case-specific flexible work arrangement with the employee’s manager and a couple of teams in HR. It wouldn’t fall under normal sick leave which is meant to cover transient things like the flu / a cold or a back spasm…

I used to have a delineation between vacation time and sick leave but now I just have “PTO”. When I had vacation/sick and now with PTO there are caps of how much you can carry over to the next year so it is kind of “use it or lose it” which sucks when you’re busy all the time and don’t take much time off. I heard they are thinking about letting you cash out your surplus rather than having it just vanish.
Another company reached out me recently and I went to their website where I saw this and was shook
No cap to PTO and “Dress for your day” seems wild to me

Blue Bloods is some of the worst copaganda on network TV
My girl watches it, and she tells me to shut up when she does because I already kinda ruined the show for her.
I legit think it is the only reason she doesn't outright hate the police.
She was a social worker and good grief, they gave her a ton of **** to hate about them. Above all the more known nonsense they already do

One of the reasons you’re my guy because it seems like you’re up with all the cable procedurals. Makes me feel a little less washed
But nah; I have only seen last season and this most current one (still need to last nights) of Blue Bloods but their family is annoying AF. Same with the McCords on Madam Secretary (wrapping up Season 4). Stabler and Benson the only non-bothersome white folks left on cable television
