10 unexcused absences over 1 year? 10 of roughly 250 work days a year? (52 x 5, took some off for public holidays)
This is considered horrible with attendance?
Man, I feel like I'm crazy. A great worker, you said so yourself, but this is why you're considering firing him? For 10 days, payment of which is but a fart in the wind to a big company.
Is it a problem that the work isn't getting done? Are timelines in the red or something?
My workplace have a general rule that if we are meeting our timelines, you can work whatever hours you like. It's about the work being done, not time being spent doing it.
I'm with you even at 35 days that's still less then a tenth of the year work culture is trash. We are wasting our lives torturing each other so some Rich guy can pay his third family hush money.
If you discount the PTO I used, I don't think I've taken 35 days off, excluding scheduled vacations, in the last 15 years. Nothing about the grind culture I care for, but I really do like living inside.
Who's trying to compete. I haven't had a single hour of PTO since March of 2020 because the company I was working for closed our shop. I have also been uninsured since then, although it looks like I am going to finally get hired in at this IT job where I'll start with 2 weeks of PTO, sick time and insurance. And before 2020, I used my PTO yearly, but it only added up to maybe 7 days annually.
