It still is a secret point system if it isn't shown somewhere we can see it, like on the activities page of VIPs.
My case I wrote of earlier, came about because of a glitch in the system. I only actually called in sick 5 times in 37 months. I questioned RF and threw up the BS flag. I asked him to look back and tell me where "7" sick calls came from. 7 was the number he told me triggered the automated request.
It ended up, that I called in sick for 3 days of hub turns in that time period. For some reason the computer registered each day dropped as a new sick call, thus pushing my total to "7".
I expected him to say forget about the note, but he said his hands were tied, and I needed a note to avoid a letter in my file.
Now a system "glitch" has us explaining medical conditions to a slew of people, who have no right to know about our personal conditions.
period...
AMERICA!
