And I can’t call in sick because there’s too much to do, and all it would mean is that I’d have to work this weekend. Oh wait, I already HAVE to work this weekend! Well, I can’t add more work to my weekend work, so it’s off to work I go today!
Also, if I called in sick, despite the fact I’ve worked enough OT that I’ve already put in my 40 hours this week, they’d make me take 8 hours PTO. Being salaried is fun!

Sorry to hear you are sick. Being salaried sucks for me too. I work long hours but if I take a little longer lunch my manager makes a snide comment. I am like “bite me!”.
Sorry you are working this weekend. Hang in there.
Companys love to take advantage of salaried folks. Isn’t it great?;-(
