So you want us to bust our ears out but you don't want to know about it? This is our QOL here. Damn if you do, damn if you don't.
God I hope AA isn't like this.

There's a lot of misinformation regarding the CPO coming after everyone for sick calls. The guys that are getting brought into the office for sick calls either have a ton of them, or have a combination of issues. The whole automatic step 1 letter for the 3rd or 4th sick call rumor is false. Yes you might get a letter after your 4th sick call, but there are gonna be other factors in play as well. I can tell you from personal experience and hearing from other guys that you can have 4 sick calls in 12 months and not hear a peep from the CPO.
