Just got a really good job where they don’t have sick days but instead you can just call out sick whenever “on the honor system.” I want to take advantage of this but also don’t want to do it in a way that’s excessive or draws attention. So how many times would you say you call out sick per year/what seems like a believable amount of times to get sick?


my last few jobs haven’t cared, so long as nobody else had to pick up my slack.
and we can use sick time for healthcare appointments. i generally end up with way more than i use (theres a formula for how much paid sick time we accrue per hour worked), but i guess my thinking is that if im ever up shits creek and need to start leaning on it, it’ll be in the bank.
anyways, you might consider looking up how many sick days state employees accrue where you live per hour worked to get a general vibe of what’s an expected sick time limit among number crunchers.
