Manager at a FAANG here. Three days of sick leave (per year I’m guessing) is fucking insanely low. Just a flu will take someone out for a week easily. If you force them to come in or else take unpaid time off/risk being fired you’re going to a) get someone who is marginally productive at best and b) likely to get more coworkers sick, causing a bigger slowdown and costing the company more money. You also come off like the person who writes the memo that 40% of sick time is taken on a Monday or a Friday.
You’re Colin Robinson, the energy vampire of your office.
In parts of Europa IT is common to have three days you can just call in sick without providing a slip from a physician. After those Initial three days you need to see a doctor. But if you want to "game the System" you can call in sick for three days, Show up one day and then leave for three days again.
Though one should note that beyond a certain number of days - varies by country - your company can then require you to immediately get medical attestation for further sick days, and also they can require a second opinion from another doctor they get to pick.
