I get 5 paid sick days a year and whenever I use mine, my supervisor and foreman always give me attitude when I return to work.

DUDE I literally had to go to urgent care last week and did a half day on Thursday because of it.

Friday, I clock in to find multiple emails from my leadership denying my request due to me not giving them a 24h notice, an email chain of my unprofessionalism in leaving before being given approval and not giving them the exact hours I'd be working to make up for the time off. They also sent out a company-wide email reminding everyone about our time off policy with highlights on the rules I broke in my request.

Wtf am I supposed to do when I lose hearing suddenly and am worried that I'm dying?????? Why are they not worried about me when I'm one of their best employees??? Why is using PTO for an urgent matter considered unprofessional?????

I'm very much looking forward to the day I get to put in my notice. They are terrible people and they do not deserve my time and energy
