From the Dec. 19th AINalerts:
Business Jet Traveler’s ninth annual Readers’ Choice Survey:
NetJets received the highest ratings for overall satisfaction among fractional-share providers, as well as among charter, jet card, and membership-club providers. Pilatus Aircraft scored highest for overall satisfaction among airplane manufacturers, while Robinson earned that distinction among helicopter companies.

Also, has it been ensured that only actual biz jet passengers have taken part in the survey. Or could it have been pretty much anyone that spends time at an FBO?
Hey, not saying NetJets isn't the best. It may well be. But this award reminds me of car magazine readers voting for best sports car 2019 when 99% of those who vote won't have drive any of the contenders, lt alone all of them.

I think most owners are really happy as they do not leave them stranded ever. Unfortunately ifs not such a great place to work. They give you sick days and if you use them you'll get a call, they tell you to not fly fatigued but if you call fatigue you'll get a call. And a lot of sitting in FBO's for 10-12 hours.

None of that ever happened to me and I called in fatigued once or twice a month, usually because of schedule shifts from late show to early show. I rarely used sick time, but when I did it was for several weeks after a medication change (FAA requirement).
And I very rarely sat in an FBO on TNTV or Hot Spare for more than a few hours. When I did I didn't mind as long as I had Internet, my laptop, or my e-book reader. No problem keeping myself entertained.

If you called in sick on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Superbowl Sunday in your first year, you are surely going to get fired. That's called a pattern. Any employer would ask you to resign with similar behavior. This isn't a military/government job where you can milk the system you're entire career because it's extremely hard to fire problem children. Budgets and profits matter in the private sector.
I had an FO no-show on me his first day off IOE because he got his schedule wrong. He called and apologized profusely. Flew with him recently. He's off probation now and all is good.
Another recent FO called in sick the entire first week of IOE for true sickness. Just got off probation, no worries.
Your story doesn't pass the smell test. Telling it on public forums can't help your future job prospects.
