Yeh fuck all that shit. I'm loyal yo the company in so far as they haven't pissed me off enough to get over the inertia of looking for a new one. I think it helps I get on really well with all the adjacent teams and managers..
I will admit 1 thing though I never sought out this job I was just an engineer in the team I now manage. I was offered it when my former boss was promoted. The reason I said yes was the fear of some unknown bellend getting parachuted in and fucking everything up
As a result I know the pain points of the job and do my best to alleviate them while playing interference where appropriate from the higher ups.
Regarding sick time I genuinely don't care as long as its done within the law. The company at large deals with this direct via hr who will flat out juts go around the reporting manager without speaking to them. I do not know ehat triggers this. Probably so reporting managers can't forewarn staff how yo game it.
The more I see on American (I'm asuming) work culture the more it tetefies me
I think the american system might literally be built on the idea that, unless you own your own business, if you want to make a lot of money you need to take a lot of abuse.
But thats maybe just me being pessimistic.
