I'm so excited - DH and I have decided that in 6 months I can ER. (I'm ready to walk out the door right now!) But I have a small moral dilemma. I've been with this organization (local govt) for 9 years and all but 3 people in our dept. have been here longer than me. I have accrued over 400 hrs. in sick time (54 days actually) while all the other folks (except the boss) have less than 100 hrs. Actually, there are several who use it almost as quickly as they accrue it.
So do I take the high road and just let all those sick days go to waste (there is no incentive not to use them) when I leave? Two men who retired from this dept in the last few years used up every bit of sick time they had before they left. I feel like it would be wrong to call in sick when not sick but then also feel like a chump for not using benefits I earned. I don't want to burn any bridges or cause ill feelings with my boss but I'm not sure what to do. Seems like you should be rewarded for being a reliable, dedicated employee instead of penalized...
