gamerecks said:I think management here is guided to make calling in terrible for the person who is calling in. Just the tone the supervisors put in their voice when you call in makes you feel like using your sick time is the worst thing ever.
my boss is pretty understanding the last time I got sick was during the swine flu freak out and when I came to work I kept joking about having swine flu and got all sorts of nasty looks :lolCloudy said:My manager is pretty cool but I know what you mean. Worse thing is when you have a bad cold and you're trying to sound normal so they don't think you're faking it >_<

blame your shitty immune system!speculawyer said:Can you do some work at home?
I sure hate it when sick people show up to work to spread their illness.
Yep. Things keep spinning in with or without you, so it's kinda silly to feel guilty about this.ltse1 said:I never feel guilty when I ditch work...
They do? Not in any kind of time sensitive environment. When I don't go to work, someone else ends up doing my work and their work.Freshmaker said:Yep. Things keep spinning in with or without you, so it's kinda silly to feel guilty about this.
DarK SouL said:Wow, you guys must work in a crappy place or have some serious work ethic. I call in sick almost once every two or three months. I never get sick but having a day away from the office every now and then keep me from mass murdering everyone at the office.
You have earned those days so feel free to use them whenever you want.

Ditto. I'm at work sick right now...sonarrat said:I don't get sick days. If they don't want me there, then they damn well better pay me to stay home. I call in sick only if the need to rest really outweighs my need to get paid for the day.
