Reply #2: Sounds like the GoodOleDays at Kodak - the 'frequency' system [View All]

[LosinIt]

Kodak used to love to brag about their great sick time allowance. The only drawback was that people didn't dare to use it because each absence was a 'frequency'. If you got too many frequencies you were spoken to, got less if any wage increase, or lost your job. After having a rough first year at work, catching every virus that came along in my new town of Rochester, my father had the nerve to die. On my FIRST day back my boss had the balls to take me into the cafeteria to talk to me about my frequency rate. It was such a sick company, not sorry to see it go down the tubes.

Edit to ad:
the problem was that each 'absence' was a frequency so people who could have been out sick for a day and then back the next NEVER took just one day. Hell if you're gonna get whacked for it, might as well, make it three days.
