They have to call in sick to work?

I don't like having to call in sick. I know sometimes it's best to stay home and not spread even more germs around the school, but it still stinks to be sick. If I'm going to have a day off, I'd like to be healthy and enjoy it.

I think it's a natural feeling to have and still wonder why I have that feeling when the company gives me sick days so I CAN use them-lol I always get that-"They probably think I'm bullsh*tting" feeling. But my advice is to never call out on a MONDAY or FRIDAY, doesn;t look good. As long as you call out on a Tue, wed, or thur, then you are fine

I get that feeling sometimes too. I try not to call out on a Monday or Friday if I can help it. After being sick all night, I knew there was no way I'd make it to work today.

I don;t think it's any think wrong with using a personal day on a Monday

I never feel guilty. If you are sick, you are sick. Illness doesn't pick and choose days.

Already Gone · 02-12-2007, 11:32 AM

No, If i'm sick, i'm calling in.

So, if you happen to be really sick on a Monday, you'll wait to call out on Tuesday???

No if I'm really sick I would call out on a monday but I try to do everything I can not to call out on Monday. If next Monday wasn't a holiday I would have called out tomorrow

I do, but thats because when I call out Im not really sick. I rarely get sick, and if I am I try to go to work and then get sent home. I called out a few weeks ago because I was so fed up with the place and wanted a 'me' day and the next day everyone was saying how worried they were because I never call out and they knew I was scheduled in the desk which is my favorite job so they thought I mustve been really sick

. Depends on who picks up the phone, the more nervous I get. If its like a friend I dont care since they call out themselves for no reason sometimes, so they understand when I need a me day.

At my job I don;t have to talk to a Live person, I can just wake up at 6:30am and leave on my supervisor's voicemail that I won't be in and that I'm taking a sick day

Chocoholic · 02-12-2007, 02:10 PM

I've never taken a "me" day, although there have been quite a few times when I've wanted to.

I hate being sick

dawsongirl · 02-12-2007, 06:42 PM

Yes, because I figure everyone thinks I'm faking it (my parents included pissed: ), but no, because that's the last place I want to be healthy, let alone sick. Enough lazy parents send their kids to school sick to cough all over me, so guess what? I'm staying home and the school can work around me.

I used to...but at my old job, they treated me so badly, that I sincerely got to the point that I just didn't care anymore!
