I had two paid sick days before the new rules. Everyone deserves 10.

No limit is the correct answer.

Or do you think you should work if you are sick?

You'd move to short and long term disability? Make that a right I guess, better yet, unionize. That's why I have disability full pay as an option. The union.

It makes more sense than infinite sick days.

Even without a union:

But like, make it 100% not half pay. Why punish sick people?

I think if you're sick and don't have paid time off you should be allowed to vomit and diarrhea into your boss's mouth.

Once that happens once or twice they'll understand the importance of paid sick time.

Or we'll learn they have a really unsettling kink.
