Having done lots of that back in my military days, let me tell you that being in full NBC gear in the Middle East in July suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Hilarious pic. Really brought me back. Always thought that heat wearing that crap was gonna kill me more effectively than the enemy ever could with whatever they wanna toss my way. Haha.

But that’s the best argument in favor of PTO, at least as I have always administered it. I care little - outside of a friendly/concerned interest in your wellbeing as a hooman - why you need a day off if it’s all PTO bank. I don’t need to categorize anything. We give you between 3 and 6 weeks of time off plus holidays. Use it when you want to, please don’t lose it, just make sure you don’t leave your team in a bind if you can help it. Any excuses you need to make about why you needed to take Monday off should be directed to the people who had to pull your weight for a day. If you’re good with them you’re good with me.
focus.

I'm with you. I think some people bring it on themselves by staying connected while they are "on vacation." Just don't do it. It may be career limiting, but oh well. Unless you own your own business I just don't get it. Of course I am coming from the perspective of working for a massive corporation where I'm simply another cog in the giant wheel.

I learned a long time ago that it is all about whether the higher ups like you or not and not about how many sick/vacation days you take.

Is this now the bitch about PTO thread?
It's all about company culture, not whether it's call sick/vacation or PTO. You need a day, take a day. You schedule a vacation, schedule a vacation. It's all about if you're pulling your weight, if you're leaving your team in a hard spot or not and what you did to prepare for it. First one onto the calendar wins, vacation vs. deadlines.
And always, always, always, tell your bosses your vacation spot won't have good connectivity. Don't take their calls, they can work with the people onsite directly and if they're worth a shit they'll respect that. Communicate with your peers/subordinates in emergencies only.
Don't be afraid to show the company you're not their bitch. I actually like PTO because I rarely took more than one sick day a year, so now I bank 5 vacation days.I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

See, my take is a little different. It should not be my job to find someone to do my work when I am taking a day off or sick that is part of my contract. That's management's and the team lead's job. Tell me who and I'll happily do turnover, in advance if it's a planned day. And boo-fucking-hoo to them for not having adequate head count to absorb contractually obligated time off.

Can we get back to Covid?
26 Mississippi legislators test positive for COVID-19 after outbreak tied to state Capitol
"The uptick in infections follows a month in which many legislators worked in the Capitol without following health guidelines recommending the use of face masks. Legislators convened in late June to advance an ultimately successful proposal to remove a Confederate symbol from the state flag."

I liked this one...
Up betimes and by tube to Westminster, and there busy with several business all morning, for our firm intends a splendid show at the conference in the middle of this month. Then comes the intern to my office like a doting fool, and proves himself an ass talking excitedly of this plague come late out of China, which, he says, is now in Italy. Of which, my wife and I having had no Wi-Fi this last month, I know nothing, only to see how vexed this blockhead intern was did almost make me fearful myself. Yet I remembered talking with my Lord and Lady touching this matter, and him very skeptical, and my lady said to me, ‘What, Mr Pepys – shall’t die of a hiccough at the last?’ And at this jest we were all very merry. Thence home to sing with my wife in the garden, but with much trouble, for it was bitterly cold. And so to bed, our iPhones left downstairs as is now our custom.

Looping back
It’s about sick days (or PTO) when under quarantine or isolation or needing to work if COVID+ or how one (and their family) can afford to live if covid+ and sick enough to not be able to work for a long period of time. What if your PTO is use it or lose it, do you bank it in case you get super sick?
I have read that some teachers will be able to have “quarantine” days that will not count against sick days.
All this shit sucks.

Your perspective is different and has nothing to do with what you call your paid time out of the office.
The point is, we need to find ways to adjust our culture so that we don’t penalize people who stay home when they’re sick. Some companies are better than others, here. You don’t fix this with mandatory sick time. You might fix it with legislation and FLSA policy similar to that which is currently used to combat discrimination.focus.

I live in Germany but am American. We get minimum 24 days of vacation a year. Sick time is not included, that is 60 days paid by employer and the government steps in after that. Ya, I pay a lot of taxes, but in times like this I know why. I’ve been furloughed since mid March and drawing 60%. Goes to 80% next month.
We need to start taking people back in the states

It is so hard to enact some realistic (socialist! Ah run away!) universal care laws in the US. As is so obvious these days the differences in the States and the vast expanse of the country coast to coast creates tribalism. Just the way that the country was developed by expansions created divides. We are not unified and the blown out of proportion perception of what our taxes get used for gives the feds the ability to keep us in the dark about how easy it would be to actually make a concept like universal care be enacted.
Deaths from Covid have to have an alarming percentage of people who suffered with no care because they could not afford to miss work and/or go to the hospital to seek treatment.
