I have been working 2 weeks in a dd in very high fever and it is starting to affect my performance… Which is worse, taking sick leave or not performing 100% due to being sick? What is the mbb sick leave policy, on paper you can take it but can you in practice?

My god, the utterly distorted view of life that this industry gives to intelligent people.
Look. After. Yourself.
You have one life. No one ever says “I wish I’d been promoted 6 months earlier in my 20s” when they look back at their life. They do wish they’d had a healthier attitude to what really matters.

I was in a similar situation and tried to keep working and my fever lasted for over 14 days - I had to go to the ER, saw a specialist - everyone was worried I had some rare virus. Turns out I was just so chronically stressed my immune system was struggling to fend off a common virus. Take PTO and take more PTO than you think you need.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

I am a clinical research coordinator working in Austin, Texas. I have my Masters in Cell & Molecular Biology and have a year of laboratory research experience.
