First, let's understand something.... my single biggest objection to the attendance policy has been its retroactivity whereby sick calls and late shows were being held against employees when it was not so much an issue at the time of the occurrence. In all honesty, the retroactivity did not affect me personally, as I rarely call-in sick and I am rarely late, thus the issue of me being terminated because I was on a Level from the outset of the policy would be highly unlikely. As such, I would not have been the type to game FMLA, because I would not have been on the brink of being escorted off the Property. So to answer your question, "No, as I wouldn't have been in that position."
However, I fully appreciate and respect those who were legitimately ill and found themselves on a Level 3 from the date of the policy's inception, and I am sympathetic towards those who are abusing FMLA in order keep their jobs because of this policy. Now if for some reason, I was to find myself suffering from a serious medical condition, then of course, I would exercise my FMLA option, which is a legitimate use. Unfortunately, there are several individuals I know in PHX who have FMLA, not on a Level, and they call in "sick" just because they want the day off. It is an open secret, and those co-workers become unreliable, and a morale issue and along with some contempt... that was my point.
So Rectifies Jester.
