<rant> I recently moved to amzn. They have a stupid policy that you should accrue sick leave with your paycheck and don’t get any when you start. So if you get sick in the first month few months, you use your personal time off. I know they are frugal but this is going overboard! </rant>
They should fire you for getting sick. I am surprised they hire people like you who get sick.
JeffyB isn’t going to let your case of the sniffles get in the way of him being the richest man in the world! Back to work peon!!
Go to work sick.
You ain't crying, you ain't trying
for extra fun, sneeze repeatedly outside Jeff Bezos' office. (Or whoever the top guy at your location is) (assuming you are not the local top guy in which case, fly out to Seattle) (assuming you are also not Bezos, in which case fix the policy)
They also have a stupid policy where they make employees pee in bottles.
Haha! Heard this on a financial radio show! They can’t afford to fall behind!
You’re a dumbass for moving to Amazon.
Sadly many companies are like that. Apple is one of them. I have to say I respect AMD for having unlimited sick days (up-to 30 consecutive days).
We're lucky to have sick days, honestly. I've only worked at one other company with them back when even peons got health insurance that was cheap and amazing.
I’ve never had a manager that enforces any kind of sick day checking. Vast majority of teams allow employees to take off whatever they want when they’re sick
That's quite pathetic.
Only if you have a shitty manager.
It’s the official policy. Only if you have a manager who doesn’t play by the rules can you avoid this.
Shitty manager? How about a rant loving shitty post
