Quoted from rai:Off topic, but I was reading that NYC FD which has around 17K employees typically has 1000 workers on sick leave per day (today they had over 2300 call out sick over 14% of the workforce). I don't know about you but I've called in sick 1-2 days in the past 25 years (hint I was truly sick). How is it that 5-10% of a workforce can call out sick except that they are paid for sick days and they abuse the system (IMO). this would tend to prove your point that giving extra benefits and pay won't necessarily lead to better service. A side note I read Starbucks is going to raise wages to $17/hr (between $15-23/hr).
Sick leave is a form of paid leave that you usually earn a set amount as you go. It is not abuse to take it when you need it even if it is for mental health including for doctor’s appointments, stress, exhaustion, family medical, funerals, or anxiety. Many businesses group sick and vacation leave as one type just called leave. It is unhealthy to not take some time off occasionally that you have earned working for the man.
The NY FD may be taking leave for a protest. I have no comment on that topic other than if it were a federal union job it would be illegal to organize such a strike.
