How often do you call out of work?

[JustinTheGreat]

I call out maybe once every few months. And it’s usually when I’m genuinely sick. I very rarely call out for shits and giggles. Even when I am sick, calling out makes me nervous lol

Im sick so I tried to call out today and my manager was like “your shift is not until 4:30. Take some medicine and call me back around 1 and tell me how you feel”

like bruuuuuh lol. I’m dying please just cover my shift.

Selfemployed 🤗😭 I can work whenever I want... I still need to get stuff done otherwise I dont get paid. working something comparably to halftime helps though.
I have some stuff prepared that I can easily work into a thing done for publishing in case of emergencies. Thats predone work though, Not easy pay for nothing.
But if I am ill I dont work, because without concentration my work is shit. I plan to work around my period as I can't work there at all either. Being Ill is highly irregular therefore I can't say how often.

I work from home, so as long as I'm able to focus all is fine. This week, after the whole weekend in bed I was still sick on Monday, so I took sick leave.

but in general a few days per year... sometimes in winter I get flu and then 2 weeks of dying :D

Almost never. Except for scheduled days off, I missed a day of work maybe once every ten years or so. I rarely get sick, and I never faked it or lied about it.

I think I've been sick twice in the last 25 years. Once was a bad cold and once was food poisoning from eating the wrong kind of wild mushroom.

When I worked for the state I got plenty of sick time. I used to call in sick at least once a month. There was one period of time that between holidays, snow days, sick days and vacation days I went 6 months without working a single 5 day week.

Thanks for the MHO😎

[rosemilk]

rarely. i also don't like having to explain my life lol so i only do so if necessary. mainly because, lowkey, i think that they think i'm lying lol

[DizzyDesii]

I get preapproved sick/vacay time. We have a set number of days we can miss so i try not to call out but it happened once due to my flight being delayed

[Redstang88]

Can’t remember the last time missed work. But my jobs a little different than most, you’re not just a man down, if I don’t come in the boat doesn’t go.

[steveusna]

in the last five years of working, i called out sick one day only.

[sheikalana]

Only when I'm sick which is not often. I can go months without calling in sick.

[BonzoInBitburg]

I can count on 1 hand how many days of work I've missed in my life.

[Nikki1989]

I haven't had a day off in the past 3 years.

[Surely]

Retired! So I have to call myself off to myself!

[NathanDavis]

a day off? what's that?

[laly520]

rarely

only when sick

[thegreenyogi]

I'm afraid that's not even an option for me.

[Nifrayu]

Almost never.
