That's the thing with the Federal Government. They whine about how much sick leave people take, and how it's being abused, but it's the government's fault. The old retirement plan allowed people to be paid for their accumulated sick leave when they retired, but under the new plan (anyone hired after 198X), you forfeit your sick leave when you retire. I don't know about the rest of you, but if I'm going to lose all that time I've earned anyway, I'm going to use as much as possible when I can.
It sucks for me right now because I'm a supervisor, and I'm in charge of a bunch of people who really do abuse their leave, so I have to be careful not to abuse my own. I sneak a day in here or there, but once I move into something non-supervisory where it's not essential that I be there everyday, I'll be much more likely to call in sick.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
