Just because you don't want something to be so doesn't change reality. People will use sick time at their discretion.

Ostriches don't need to be in union leadership.

That holds true for alfa and slows comments on the same subject. It is what it is. If you want to act like management and ask for sick notes, so be it. Go be in management. Don't represent me anymore.

I've worked for a company that did that. You don't want to go down that road.
