What if we renamed them from "Sick Days" to "Well Days"? You take a day to get well from being unable to self-certify fitness. And that would encompass the spectrum from physiological to emotional and psychological wellness? Does that reframe the discussion somewhat?
Agree, have some integrity. But that knife cuts both ways; if you posthole your family/emotional/psychological well being for a moment of virtue signaling, that's on you. And yeah, I think that I’m well within my fiduciary responsibility to the Company to leverage all tools available in order to avoid square corners in my life and be available and ready to fly.
