I think it's unfair that people at my work can call in for a family sickness (like wife or kid is sick) and it doesn't count towards their review. They still count the sick day but it won't affect attendance.

I mean I should just lie and say I got married or have a kid. There is nothing in the company policy that says I have to declare I'm married or a father so that means there is no way for the company to determine whether I am or not.

Calling out is calling out, regardless of my marital or parental status.

I'm fine with FMLA and people getting time off for that, but this is not FMLA, this is just one day cold/flu type stuff.
