Should I call in sick instead of doing reception cover if Im leaving?

[Anonymous]

A part of my role is reception cover, which I don't like doing.

I'm leaving my job in a few weeks and currently working out my 3 weeks notice.

I still have 20 sick days.

Should I feel bad for calling in sick because I don't want to do it?

I recently helped with cover for 3 weeks and over it.

You need to be concerned about the job reference this employer will give you in the future.

Sick days are basically just paid leave. Talk all the time you can.

It's important to maintain professionalism, even when you're leaving a job. Calling in sick when you're not actually ill could leave a negative impression and potentially burn bridges. Instead, consider discussing your discomfort with your manager and see if there's any flexibility, or focus on the upcoming transition and completing your duties responsibly. Leaving on good terms can be beneficial for future references or networking.

If you are able to take leaves then go for it
