If you don’t feel guilty getting a paycheck you shouldn’t feel guilty taking time off. Both are benefits the company expects to give you in exchange for your work.

Sick is sick. I usually have to take two allergy days a year - where I'm not sick, but I'm so allergy ridden that I can't think.

Do you feel sad taking your paycheck?

Your PTO is part of your compensation package.

Ya I feel bad when I take sick days a lot of the time

Plaintiffs counsel took my clients deposition today. He mentioned that he would likely be ordering the transcripts and I suggested we split the cost of them (in front of court reporter). He got pretty defensive and said absolutely not, it’s unfair to the court reporter, and that it is frowned upon in the industry to do that. Each party orders (and pays for) their own copy. I’m in my 2nd year of practice, never heard such a thing. I’ve actually split the cost before! Curious for insight on this…
