I don't always code while drunk but when I do I make sure to get paid for it

Same for when I'm sick for me, sorry not sorry.

As long as it's not Covid level, since America doesn't mandate remotely reasonable paid time off, I'm not given enough PTO annually not to be be driven into deep depression living to go to work almost all the time.

I'm not going to waste my limited PTO being sick.

I'd rather get paid to be sick than do it for free, especially if it's going to cut into the whole 10 PTO days I get a year. Bonus points if I get the owner sick.

If we had mandated reasonable time off like an actual developed nation and not the gold plated shithole we are, I'd have enough job security and time off not to get my coworkers sick in our respective ruggedly individual quests to get moar by competing against each other. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Having sick and PTO time rolled into one is garbage. Ours is separate and I'll use an hour or two to sleep longer if I'm super tired after waking up.

I have that now. I'm a rare case where I'm fucking my employer with it, because I've not been sick in over 7 years. I have over a month of vacation time because I live in California, and they can't cap me.

I will bank it, my friends... And I will leave some day and force them to pay me. Fuck you, corpo assholes.

P.S. I've done this shit before. I got laid off, and I got paid a shitton of money.

It is literally bog standard in Europe, although sick leave you don't get paid fully in my country( unless it's part of the benefits package of the company), but having separate PTO is standard, I will have 30 days next year since I will have 33rd birthday next year so I get 5 extra days off.

Right now I have two days for a year. I'm at a new company. After a year of work I go up to 10 days. This is the maximum you ever get. America right?

At my old job whenever we had to be at work extra early the next day and we were debating if we should go out drinking anyway my boss would always say "if we are going to be pissed off we might as well be pissed off and hungover." He really did not like mornings.

Work form home benifits

I used to get an egg sandwich from the canteen then go and sleep in the server room, enjoying the aircon.

This was the 90s . I hope people still do that.

[–] podperson@lemm.ee 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I still do, but I used to too.

[–] zante@slrpnk.net 10 points 5 days ago

Glorious.

I’m pleased to know that in this modern world and its excessive motivation , people are still finding ways to stay out late drinking on a Tuesday and make it to lunch time Wednesday without doing a stroke of work.

More power to you sir.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 days ago

I'm gonna have to start living by this, it does sound smart. Even smarter if you continue drinking at work ;)

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Or drink more water and don't get hung over.

[–] jrs100000@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

And higher quality liquor. The hangover from a night of sipping gin and whiskey compared to getting wasted on cheap tequila and beer is night and day.

[–] 474D@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Also, take a B12 vitamin before you sleep. Idk what specifically does it, but it's never failed. Still gonna be a little foggy but for the most part, good to go.

[–] Entropywins@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Fun fact ever since I stopped drinking alcohol I have yet to get fired...

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Great idea ... some places allow you to do that once or twice but many places will just let you go home and ask you not come back.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nice. I could work from home all of the time!

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago

So would I .... the trick is to get paid to do it.

That's my philosophy.
