Or, you can do like everyone else, and just keep your head down and take the abuse, then leave so they can turn around and abuse someone else. I voted with my feet from that place 13 years ago. And never once did I call a CP and tell them how I was sick.
I don't have the energy to fight stupidity.

Why didn't you sue them then? The 'policy' of calling the CP for a sick call wasn't official 13 years ago; that's within the last 2 years.

I'm going to vote with my feet as well soon. I think the pot might be calling the kettle black here.

Ok, since you want to get into it...

What would I be suing them for if the policy (and the governing laws) didn't exist then? The pot isn't calling the kettle black. I'm saying you have more constructive options to remedy than whining on the internet about a company with known issues, that you sought employment at anyhow.

I don't want to get into it.

I've already addressed all the other points and am not going to repeat myself. I did seek employment there, but it's still my duty to leave it a better place than I found it.

No hard feelings, I find that funny. As you start a thread blasting the crew to outer space. But no hard feelings.
