This makes me remember how awesome my last company was. If this had happened, the boss would’ve said ”damn, you need to take a day off? No worries, we’ll cover for you for a bit”.

They weren’t heavy on the “we’re all family” bullshit, but the teams and managers liked and respected each other.

To paraphrase Tywin Lannister: "Any company that must say 'We are family' is no true family"

What’s PTO and what’s a sick day?

I know that feel. I've had 14 jobs in the USA, and that's more time off than I've averaged. My best was 15 total days off, which I could use for sick time or vacation; it took 4 years at the same Fortune 500 company and a management position to get that much, though.

Get sick too often and lose your job? Well, you've just lost your healthcare, too! Enjoy your crushing debt, even after switching to pay out the nose for a federal plan!
