The discussion of “culture fit” and startup workaholic culture reminded me of something I meant to comment on the sick day episode: if you are a manager/supervisor/etc., take sick leave. Take vacation. On the one hand, it’s nice to know that a manager isn’t going to ask anything of their employees that they won’t do themselves, but on the other it can stifle your ability to call out sick when your manager slogging in to work with the flu during a blizzard.
