Gonna be that guy, but…. Good. I’d have fired her too.
Nah, fuck that. If she had sick days they are hers to decide how to use em.

Uhh, no. Sick days are for when you’re sick. Annual leave is for when you do stuff like this.

Christ, this platform beggars belief sometimes.

Sick days are part of your compensation package. They are yours to do whatever the fuck you want with. There’s a reason most companies don’t call them sick days anymore.
That is factually incorrect.

Can you bring some of these facts?

I know nothing about US workers law, only that they get like 12 days off per year, and working days are like 10+ hrs

The fact they’re called sick days, and not leave days, should be a hint.
Ah - so so there’s no rules or laws that apply, it’s all based on what it’s called. I never understood how US functions but I’m getting a better feel now. Thank you
It’s more evidence than you’ve provided.
Sorry - didn’t know I was talking to a 12 year old. My mom is stronger than yours
In use them as I’m sick ~of my companies bullshit~ days
This would probably work if you were smart enough to stay home.
