Yes there isOh yeah for all the campaigners that brag about never taking sick days and infecting all your co-workers... There's no reward or recognition for that. No one cares. You don't get a medal. You're just screwing yourself over. Take your sick days. Be at peace
Like eight months of sick leave built up
One day I'll just go have some mental health issues and take a year off

If I could afford a house four cars two kids and a currently at home mum on very infrequent film work wages I would pretty much be in Nirvana
But like, the actual one

I've got 6 months plus sick leave built up.
If I'm sick I'll use them but never take "sickies" if not sick.
Get too guilty.
I don't brag about it but it's handy to have if one day I get really sick (touch wood)
*When I was casual I had to have knee surgery and couldn't work for a month and didn't get paid, it sucked. Maybe that's always in the back of my mind?

Used to never take sick days but now I'm in my 30s and not a millionaire so I'm angry with life and now take time off when ever I can

My dad has about four thousand hours of leave
As a miner who has like, a week off every month, which is really a lot less than most in the industry, he sees no reason to ever take leave.

Yeah why would you ever wanna go anywhere or do anything when you can just live your life doing the exact same thing for 40 years

I worked in mining for 30+ years, left last year with absolute zero sick leave. I'm so glad i did. Absolute campaigner of an industry.
The old adage you're just a number really applies.
5 day a week dayshift job now. 7am - 3.30pm. I'm as happy as a pig in shite, my body clock feels like nothing Ive felt in many years. Its sensational.

Implying you can't go anywhere on a week off? He's hardly missed a concert he's wanted to go to, seen every band that's come to Aus he's wanted to... Well at least until covid.
International travel doesn't interest everyone (fancy that! I supposed those people will be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes?) And he's already seen plenty of Aus in his youth travelling around then.
Also he's only been employed for 20 years. He spent 10 years before that on Centrelink after losing his job and spending time at home when my old brother died in the late 80s.

There's an interesting thing where people most likely to say we need to accept everybody's differences, are the most likely to be absolutely ****ing gobsmacked that people like different things.

Sometimes you go to Adelaide, sometimes you go to Sydney.
When it didn't, he didn't take leave, he swapped weeks with other fellas, so maybe he'd five six on then have two off.

Yeah that was a culture issue at my old workplaceOh yeah for all the campaigners that brag about never taking sick days and infecting all your co-workers... There's no reward or recognition for that. No one cares. You don't get a medal. You're just screwing yourself over. Take your sick days. Be at peace
Didn't help when the director would suggest people need a teaspoon of cement in their coffee if they called in sick and other managers claim to never be sick (selective memories)

Lol he can do what he wants obviously...
But I just don't understand why you wouldn't take leave? Does he like work that much? Even just sitting around at home sinking piss watching sports is more fun than work.
And the risk of saving everything up so you can go bonza retirement... Well.. yeah.. if you don't die in the meantime, or become unfit/unwell and unable to do anything.

Director sounds like a campaigner, I'd come in sick deliberately and schedule a 1 hr meeting with him in the smallest room possible
