Interesting topic of conversation for the day……

How does your company negotiate sick days? Do they pay you for them or do you have them unpaid? What are your companies rules?

Ive worked in 2 companies where 1 of them paid you for the occasional sick day, another company where you had it unpaid or used as holiday - I’m curious 😊

We don’t negotiate that, everyone gets 8 fully paid sick days per year. They don’t roll over to the following year, but can be used for caring for sick dependents as well.

Oh wow that’s great, I wish more companies do that as that is a great help for families 😊

At my place, the first few days are fully paid but anything longer needs a doctor's note. It feels fair, but the admin side always makes me dread calling in sick more than being sick!

Oh my god yes that’s my pet hate, don’t know what it is about it but I always feel bad for ringing in sick and fear of them thinking I’m faking it even though I’m not, don’t know why but I hate doing it haha

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?
