You'll run out of sick leave after only 3.5 months, then go on Disability at 50% pay.
Yeah, it sucks. Don't ask me how I know.
If I ask you how you know I have a feeling it'd involve a good story, like a girl and an incident that was well worth it.
Maybe they should start us on an hsa that we can save money like a 401k, let it pay for additional sick leave hours and builds otherwise it's ours for retirement. Sure guys would fly sick to save money but on the flip side just have little tolerance for that.
I mean for a new hire with 30 years left what would that be if they never touched it? Possibly $500k over 30 years? Allow guys to choose between that with fewer company paid leave hours but additional hsa money and the current system.
I made that up. Would that work or too left field?
