If it wasn't for the fact I'm just weary from all the mountains of shit these so-called journalists pour out of their mouths I'd be screaming like Matt Christman right now

My current employer has this dastardly move where if you call in sick a day before a paid holiday you have to provide a doctor's note or else both your fto request and paid holiday are denied.

I'm guessing they also have a reputation for not approving vacation requests that bookend paid holidays? One of my previous employers utilized this big brain strategy as well.

Yep, there are policies in place to restrict vacation requests near bookend holidays because "it's last minute and it messed with the payroll!! :("

Mine will take away your holiday pay regardless of whether or not you have a sick note.

Just hand them a piece of paper of blacked out redacted lines (because confidentiality) and an illegible signature.

I had a district manager once demand I bring in a note after calling in sick. I just told them "No, you don't pay me enough to go to the doctor and I wouldn't share any of my medical information with you anyway, you can't make me." I never heard anything more about it.

Lots of employers have "rules" on the books that are realistically unenforceable or out right illegal.
