For those of us with families and bills, if we have to call out sick for all of our trips, burning all of our sick bank and can’t use SLMU, how do you suggest we operate without “crossing the line”? I don’t see SLMU as lending a helping hand to the company at all. I see it as a way to get the schedule I want, that they won’t give me, without doing anything extra for them.
You don’t have to burn up 100% of your sick time.... it’s as simple as doing the right thing. Don’t feel good? Call in sick. Terrible nights sleep? Call in fatigued. Maintenance discrepancy? Right it up. If everyone did the right thing 20% of the time instead of “ gettin’ it done” the company would be howling.
