Not everywhere.


Honestly, walking away from sick leave is one of the most wonderful things you can do. It is a LOT better than having to use it.

I once worked with a girl who joked about having 4 months of sick leave accrued, and laughed about how she'd never get to use it. She had a stroke in her late 20s and had well over a year off work. So she got to use her sick leave. It didn't go to waste, but I'm sure she'd much rather have been able to walk and talk and function through that year that she didn't work.

This kind of employee is really annoying, but is there more to it? Does she feel like she deserves it because she feels exploited in some other way?
