That's what sick days are for. Pick a Friday, call in sick, go to the game.

Use a vacation day (If I call off I get charged a vacation day), potentially lose my OT hours for the week and get an occurrence (missing a day unscheduled gets me an occurrence and if I hit 6 occurrences in a rolling 12 month window I get fired). So I'd rather just use my regular day off.

You need an employer with JazzFanz benefits.

Don't know what you do, but that's an odd job you have that you can't call in sick, even if you genuinely are. Never have heard of an "occurrence." But I guess I can see the 6 occurrences in 12 months getting someone fired.

I don't want to derail, but I don't get an occurrence if I get a doctor's note that specifically says that I have a contagious illness. If it doesn't say "contagious" I get an occurrence.

I work in a union environment. Tons of stupid **** like that and the union seems to just love it. Occurrences is the #1 reason people get fired where I work, and it's not even close. They call it a "no fault occurrence policy" which means the reason doesn't matter. I can call in and say "sounds like there's a lot of work to do today, I don't feel like helping out with that so I'm going to take an occurrence" and it's the same as if I call in and say "My wife was just involved in a serious auto accident and is on life support, I'm going to go be with her." So I call it the "It's always your fault occurrence policy." And again, our union is 1000% in favor of this policy.

Fwiw the occurrence system was there pre Union. It was 8 occurrences to get fired though in the pre Union days.
The union didn't create the occurrence system though.

But they have done very little to make it more forgiving. I think there needs to be a little more leeway. Austin was in a rollover accident, in the hospital, and he got an occurrence. Just seems crazy.

I'm just not feeling our union. I got screwed out of seniority even though the language in the contract is ridiculously clear that if you return within a year you lose the time you were gone but keep the seniority you had before you left. Rick says I'm interpreting it different than he is.
 
Thread derail in full effect, btw.

Sorry everybody.
