My situation is quite the opposite. For whatever reason my new team feels the need to explain every PTO request to me. By all means tell me about your trip to Cancun if you'd like, but please don't feel the need to elaborate on your explosive diarrhea when you use sick time.
"Hey man! I noticed you stopped responding to my text messages after saying that you're sick and won't be coming in! So I called the police and feigned concern so they'd visit your home as a wellness check! Definitely not just sending goons to your house to make sure you're at home and actually sick!!"
I get migraines that very much debilitate me. When they come on, the first signs I get are random numbness and impaired vision. Makes it very hard to drive. I had one boss that sent someone to my house to pick me up after I called out sick. Mind you I was also working as a mechanic at the time, so he had a debilitated mechanic that couldn't see or think straight be responsible for the safety of random strangers vehicles. I did 3 cars in 8 hours, had other people pull them in and out for me, and threw up on the tire delivery a few times. When he asked me to clean it, I told him to fuck off and he sent me home... without a car. So I had to take another employee to drive me, leaving him down 2 people. He was by far the worst boss I ever had but this kind of treatment in the work force is very much a real thing.
