How do you use sick days for vacation? Do you just not show up to work without telling your boss or tell your boss on the day you call it sick that you aren't feeling well?

What makes you think you can just not show up without telling anyone?

@EY 1: We can all just not show up and not tell anyone. It’s called being an adult. With that said, plenty of adults make stupid decisions all the time. Those adults don’t hold down jobs for very long.

@EY3, I can’t imagine ever just not showing up to work and not telling anyone, even as an experienced SM. If I am out sick or on vacation, my team knows about it.

OP, if you are home sick, charge your time to the illness charge code. If you are on vacation, charge your time to the vacation charge code. If you are taking a personal day, charge your time to the personal day charge code.

I work on one of the chiller engagements imaginable and I wouldn’t dream of just not showing up without telling anyone. We don’t have sick days (just 25 PTO days total) so I don’t have to worry about that distinction however.

@EY 4: I am the same way in that I could never simply not show up and fail to inform my team. I think you might have missed the second half of my post which refers to adults that make stupid decisions (like not showing up and not telling anyone) and lose their jobs as a result.

EY4, yeah, I missed the intent of the second part of your comment. Read too quickly! :)

I have 2 offers to consider. What makes more sense?
Full time role with 3 weeks vacation and benefits or contract opportunity with 20k more in potential salary.

Little background, I have been a loyal employee and have only worked at 1 firm for about 6 years now. Looking for more growth and obviously money.

Need some suggestions on what to consider and any pitfalls that I should be aware of.

Thanks

I am currently at a firm and received an in-house offer. Aside from main items like comp and big ticket benefits like PTO/health insurance/401k, what other items do I need to think about discussing/negotiating? For example, fees to keep bar licensure, professional association fees, CLEs, etc. I feel like there is so much on that end I currently take for granted being covered at my firm. Anything else I should consider?

The PE culture is sick. The 20 something VP was rude to our partner because our team took thanksgiving and the day before off and it was in the engagement letter that we were gonna be off. He kept emphasizing that his team did our job while we were on a break. Dude we are not sick like you and we have lives. I see something about how s**t the PE culture is in every deal we support.

Like these sickos make fun of us for working 80+ hours weeks for them and taking thanksgiving off.
