If you are in an interview process and the recruiter invites you to go and meet the team, do you take a PTO from your current job? What if you just took a vacation a week ago? 😕

This is why the flu was invented in 1584. A baker’s son didn’t want to go into the family business. He wanted to work a few towns down at the blacksmith. The blacksmith had a job opening and no kids to take the business. So Enflu Enza told his dad he was sick. Couldn’t make I to work that day. While pops was at work and his mom was helping out Enflu took a horse down to the blacksmith to apply for the job. He got it. Really upset his family who disowned him. But he was doing what his passion was.

Just sad that he learned later that the blacksmith was a serial killer who murdered all his apprentices. But cool that his family named a sickness after him

FWIW, it’s not unreasonable to be sick after a vacation. Other ideas:
- Need to be home for my super to make emergency repairs
- Misc doctor appointment (sorry for the late notice!)
- Meeting a college student to talk about the industry

Depends. If it's just an hour or two I take a long lunch and have an "appointment", doesn't matter what it is. I have also called out sick before if it was longer.

Sounds like you would have to travel, yes? I would only go if final round and they’re paying. Then yes and take PTO.

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
