EPTThis sucks. Mixed emotions of anger, rejection and guilt. Should I have done more? Was it wrong of me to not come into work sick? Is my education useless? Am I useless? I don't know, I'm so... fucking...
Confused.
So I just got fired

That's what i'm curious about. In Holland the average vacation days is around 25 a year (for someone who works fulltime). These days are actually for vacation, do whatever you want on them. And if you're sick, even if it's just the sniffles, you can just call in sick and the boss pays for those days. | ||

Depends on your field of study I guess. Here in Quebec it's pretty easy to get a job in the computer science field. | ||

Confused. Just the fact that you're asking if it was wrong of you not to go to work sick makes me think that you basically were able to go but didn't really wanted to. Of course there are situations where you can't even move without extreme pain, but honestly it doesn't sound like you were really disabled. Next time you know better. | ||

Wow... yeah you should go in sick so they can see it and tell you to go home. yeah until they trust you or know you well you pretty much have to go in when it's physically possible so they tell you to go home first | ||

Europe is totally different with sick/vacation days. Shit man, I met a girl who got six fucking weeks off fuck youuuuu Europe. Two weeks is generally the max vacation time you'll see and you need to put in a lot of time for that. Some places give sick days separate.... it really varies. A lot of places you get zero compensation for being sick. | ||

Wow... yeah you should go in sick so they can see it and tell you to go home. Yeah, I didn't even do this in high school, let alone while working. Unless I'm seriously endangering the people around me, I go to school regardless of whether I feel well or not. Just go to work, and then they'll send you home knowing themselves that you were actually sick. | ||

This is real and it sucks and there's no need to rub salt in the wounds. go look yourself in the mirror and realize your mouth is actually your rectum and your face is actually your ass. | ||
