Scheduled leave is a different proposition entirely.
I didn’t say someone’s absence would “break” a company, I’m really pointing out that if you have a lot of responsibility in your work then there will be days when your unplanned absence will effect team.
Of course people are compensated for the roles they perform, and yes people are able to take sick leave.
My point is, most professionals will encounter situations where they don’t want to take a day off because there’s a big deadline or a meeting or something.
It’s not bad management it’s just the nature of having responsibilities and wanting to be good at what you do.
Anyone with significant responsibility will consider the consequences of their not being present when they take leave. As I said in another comment, if this Jason Call guy got elected and just didn’t show up for an important vote in congress because he had the sniffles, would that be appropriate?
If there are protocols for others to follow that describe what you would do if you were present, then with the greatest respect I don’t think you have very much responsibility.
For someone with an .au account you seem remarkably ill informed as to workers rights in a functioning country, or the concept of boundaries.
Btw, last time i took annual leave it was a grand total of four hours before my phone started blowing up. I referred my employer to the protocols I’d written and left them.

Scheduled or unscheduled leave (annual vs personal in Australian parlance) is utterly irrelevant
There are emergency protocols should shit break while i’m on leave.
Sure, and you should be compensated appropriately for that responsibility.
And you should be able to take sick leave if you’re sick.
You seem to have completely missed my point.

No ones missing the point. You’re ascribing a value we don’t hold.
If i’m too sick to work it doesn’t matter if there’s a big meeting or project. I’m too sick to work. End of.
I pretty much just don’t believe you.

Oh wow, you’re in deep.
Good luck.
Mmm. That sounds like a you problem.

LOL. I guess I’m talking about jobs where people do things in their work that requires skill and judgement, and have responsibilities.
If you can take sick leave at any time and people can just follow the procedures in your absence then you don’t have that kind of job.
Incorrect.
Insufferable.
