Will you CALL IN SICK today?

Question

Today, Aug. 24, is the most popular day of the year for US employees to call out sick, according to a survey by PTO management software company Flamingo. It even tops America’s second-sickest day of the year, Feb. 13—which suspiciously usually lines up with the day after the Super Bowl.

So, will you be taking the day off and call in sick today?

Please vote in the poll... please be honest.

Ironically I actually am sick today, however, at my last job I worked remote so I didn't need to call in sick very often. I just would reschedule my call in demonstrations so that they could actually understand me without me coughing, sneezing, or hearing my hoarse throat. I could still do my other work (even if I didn't feel up to it).

I gotta be really sick to call out. I was taught just because “your sick doesn't mean gotta miss school/work.

I don't work but if I did I would only call in sick if absolutely necessary as in I was coughing a lot and sneezing with my nose running because obviously I wouldn't wanna make my coworkers sick.

No lol I am on vacation till after Labor Day.
I used one sick day last year.
I generally don’t get sick … if sick… not bad… I still go in. I don’t like to stay home, have to prepare my lesson plans while running a fever. I don’t get it… if I’m sick why I still need to submit lesson plans. Then the sub teacher doesn’t use.
so I try not to take days off. It’s not fair for my students.

Strange for such a random date to be the most common for calling out. I wonder what that’s about.

MemeSupreme · Answer

its rare for me to call in sick i’ve actually been trying to get better at not working TOO much

Billlewis · Answer

I almost never call off work. I've missed two days of work in the past 20 years, including when I had the scamdemic virus. It took me five weeks to get rid of it, and I still went to work every night.

For Aussies Tuesday is the day to chuck a sickie though either side of a three day weekend tempts many. By three day weekend I mean when a public holiday occurs on a Friday or Monday

Four day weekends are better still.

In Michigan, it’s November 15; opening day of deer season. They have repeatedly considered making it a state holiday because so many people take time off for hunting.

I can't. I am my own boss. I'd have to lie to myself and that's pretty difficult.
