Smurfy said:It's been my experience that the lower on the totem pole a worker is, the more they call in sick and use up their time off. Almost everyone on my entire team (customer service reps) have near zero time left because they take their time as fast as their earn it (dumbassez)
those higher up in the company (supervisors/managers/directors) very rarely ever call out sick..
I know I pretty much never do. Even recently when I was out sick and at the doctor for chest pains, I worked at home remotely so my work never actually goes undone. never.

oh good point.all the whey said:Yes
And, odds are they didn't miss work when they were lower on the totem pole. So, that is a reason they are higher up in the company.
Smurfy said:oh good point.
BTW I'm higher up in the company because a) I'm awesome (you know this) and b) bewbs
my husband has been telling me that since the first time we met.all the whey said:You should be CEO!

I enacted a policy at my company paying for employees sick time in December and sick days are down 52% this year. The problem with sick time is that the employee loses it , if they do not take it. Its been my experience over the years, that the same employees abuse the rule over and over again. Thats when you enact selective firing.stilleto said:my office mate has had a bad year so far- she gets 3 weeks off and has used it all already.
and another woman I have to deal with has also used up her time, between being in the hospital for a week, taking off a day or two here and there, or her kids being sick, she's never here. Good thing for her that she's blowing the owner though.

billfred said:You know - I have been out of college 27 yrs and I think I have been too sick to go to work about 3 times so I have had to start being a little more liberal with the definition of sick. Now I take sick days for the following:
1) Sick of traffic
2) Sick of my boss
3) Sick of my co-workers
4) Sick of getting out of bed
I have been much happier since developing this broader definition.
