personal/sick day

I get three personal/sick days a year. At my job, we manufacture food. Food that is consumed by the public. Employees are told that it is imperative that we do not come in to work if we are ill, especially if it is something contagious. However, if we call in more than three days a year (or use personal days as scheduled days off), we get in trouble.

Totally logical.

Begrudgingly and reluctantly, I used my first sick day tonight. My fever was 102 AFTER taking ibuprofin and I still considered going to work just to avoid using up one of my three days. How messed up is that?
