I remember a guy at a place I worked bragging that he hadn't taken a single sick day in almost 20 years.

It's not or you wouldn't give memes like this the time of day.

Use your PTO. But I gotta laugh at the kiddos who screech you shouldn't work hard and then are shocked when their peers are making more than them.
