Our company has a policy that if you’re sick for 2 days or more, you have to have a doctors note to return. So faking sick comes with a price tag for me. Also, any time I’ve ever joked about being sick, I actually end up sick. I’ll just call around and get someone to cover for me, then tell my supervisor I’m taking a personal day instead of earning some bad karma.
bad karma for being sick?
Places I’ve worked if you’re sick for more than 2 weeks (accumulated) in the calendar year you were fired.
How is this legal?
You can be fired for the colour of your shirt. So it’s not that surprising.
Oh, okay, it’s the US, makes sense now.
Lol, that was my thinking. That'd be super illegal here.
