Sick Time is for an Actual Sickness 10/10/2011 by redvelvetcake57
|
Once long ago a supervisor decided that he wanted to do something about all the staff that kept calling in sick. It seems that the company would give large amounts of sick time per month to staff and some people could not wait to get the time so that they could call in.
Well one day, I knew this was not the proper protocol, but I stopped the boss and asked him point blank what was the problem with trying to put an end to people calling off so much... FULL STORY»

... And the Winner Is..! 11/13/2009 by Sphincter Detector
|
I've been at my company for over 15 years and I've put in my share of unpaid OT, worked my share of Saturdays, and given up my share of vacation days. Yet, every time I need a legitimate sick day, my boss rolls his eyes and gives me a tone like I'm full of crap. You'd have to literally barf up a lung right in front of him to prove you weren't faking... FULL STORY»

I have been missing too many days because I didn't feel safe in this workplace since these co-workers do not receive safety training on machinery or other things that are work-related. I have been telling my boss and manager for 4 years that I am uncomfortable about these workers who have 3rd grade education and have no knowledge of mathematical background or safety training since they have been operating on dangerous machinery...

Mother Hubbard And The Kid In Her Shoe . . . 08/13/2008 by Unsympathetic Missy

I don't mean to disrespect what some call the hardest job in the world, but a certain (receptionist) co-worker has broken the last vertebrae in this camel's back!
My co-worker and I are both assistants at a law firm. TOGETHER --- we handle phones, clerical duties, schedule appointments, return calls, and run office errands. If one of us goes missing for a day, things get piled up pretty quickly and creates a lotta late nights playing catch-up... FULL STORY»

Husband Sick 03/21/2008 by Rosse
|
That reminds me of a coworker who use to call out everytime her husband was sick. And he was sick every other month... all year around.
I just didn't get it. He was not dying (god forbid)... he just had every day fever and oolds.
And when I ask. She said... I have to serve him soup etc. etc. etc.
She was Indian and very proud of her culture... FULL STORY»

Dr. Doolittle 03/19/2008 by JasonJD

| We have an employee we semi-affectionately call Dr. Dolittle because she always calls out over an animal crisis, now I love animals but its every other week and it gets absurd. One incident includes a homicidal chicken that liked to kill her compatriots on a semi-weekly basis.. |
I lied today and didn't go to work! 02/01/2008 by Liar Liar :)
|
| We had a bit of a snow storm in Chicagoland last night. When my alarm went off this morning I turned it off and fell back asleep. I called in around 8:30 and said I had gotten stuck in my driveway and couldn't make it in. See, I had two neighbors that were stuck, so my story really could have been possible... |

You Deserve An Emmy... 01/07/2008 by SunnySideUp
|
I got foot surgery on Dec. 21. The surgery entailed cutting and shaving a bone in my right foot and putting two screws inside of it. Now my job consists of a lot of walking and the doctor recommended that I take 2 1/2 weeks off, wait until short-term disability kicks in and take six weeks. I asked if I could work after the 2 weeks and he said yes and that the only reason he recommended short-term disability is that most people just prefer to stay out even though they can go to work...

Callin in sick
Posted on 03/24/2005 by New2Houston
Well, it was another day that I didn't want to go to work so I decided to call in sick. I do what you normally do before a call like this - jam toilet paper up your nose, drink a cup of boiling water as fast as you can and call first thing when you wake up. Then it dawned on me. You know, when you are in the bathroom and you get that unmistakable echo? The echo that no matter who is on the other end they know you are in the bathroom? Why not use it to your advantage? So I tried it. Got up, sat in position and dialed the phone. Called my coworkers to let them know I wasn't coming in because of read full story »
